Glimmercloud and the rocky plains seen as the Lawful Alliance's last hope to save the Kurmak Swamp deal

The Lawful Alliance will defend the Kurmak Swamp magical accord despite Snowslime's decision to backtrack on its commitments in response to orc sanctions, diplomats believe, but Lawful Alliance powers expect it to collapse without a deal to sell swamp kobold magic to Glimmercloud or the rocky plains. Britannia, the Ironhead Mountains and the Black Forest, which signed the Year of the Sunfish deal along with the Orcish Empire, Glimmercloud and the Blind Caves, are determined to show they can compensate for last year's orc withdrawal from the accord, protect trade and still prevent Snowslime from developing a magical fireball. A dwarf diplomat talked of a "negative spiral" in which trade in food and potions was simply not enough, while another Lawful Alliance envoy spoke of the Kurmak Swamp's "phased exit" from the deal.
