In Surprise Twist, Magistrate Draco Dogsbody Reveals All! December 1, 2016
As an astute reader of the Dwilight Daily will note, we have been following events in Westfold after the discovery of a theft of, what appears to be, Lord Grom Leafcutter's illicit ikrif. Shortly afterwards, it was reported that Lord Grom had been forced to join Swordfell against his will by King Rossgyr Shulee when he returned Fatexna to it's original owner. While it could be said that Lord Grom's participation in these acts were merely a coincidence, the smart reader will know better. The connection between Lord Grom's ikrif and his betrayal has been unveiled by none other than Magistrate Draco Dogsbody of Westfold. He published the following comments to the realm writ large:

I am now able to make this official announcement: Grom Leafcutter, the renowned raha (and ikrif) dealer and all round scallywag has been convicted under anti-trust laws of monopolising the distribution of performance-enhancing medication. The sentence, deportation to the most dreary place I could think of (Swordfell), was enacted immediately. That's what happens when people mess with me. I told you that you don't want to make me angry, you won't like me when I'm angry. Now that my cartel owns the herb supply, I've got bad news for you all, I'm cutting supply! So expect a 50% increase in street prices!

There has been no official word from King Rossgyr as to whether he supports the actions of the Magistrate, nor has there been any public reaction from the nobility of Westfold. Those who regularly use raha and ikrif will no doubt begin to feel the pain, and one wonders whether the drop in supply will affect the martial effectiveness of the Westfoldian army. On an unrelated note, stock in a conspicuously named agricultural trading company "Draco's (Totally Legal) Discount Drug Distributors" has increased significantly. Further economic effects from this announcement have yet to be observed.
