Halla Now Protected
The halla; our nation’s proud and majestic animal. These white stags have been our people’s companions since we were but disjointed clans. However, due to the rising value of their antlers and skins, poachers have been slaughtering untold numbers of the creatures. The Keeper Maired herself made it clear that such treatment of our people’s oldest friend would not go unpunished. The Committee of National Heritage declared that the halla, being a symbol of our past and our pride, would be made a protected species. Hunting the animals is now a federal offense, and now the government will be doing all it can to stop such pointless bloodshed.Military to Receive More Funding
Knowing the threat of outside invasion, though unlikely, is still a very real problem, the Keeper announced an increase in defense spending. The Warleader Badan Glace has mentioned plans to upgrade bases, and to increase funding of the Brecilian National Flying Corps. He is relieved that his pleas got through, as now new recruits can look forward to training with brand new equipment and uniform, as opposed to anything left in the quartermasters’ storerooms. Though largely supported, the vocal Amaranthine citizens were in protest. Their anti-military stance has been made well known, as they have previously protested the Mandatory Service Act (1912) and the Creation of the Armored Forces Act (1941). Their cries have largely been ignored, though their attempts to prevent this budget increase have earned them the scorn of many citizens.Election
The November elections have riled the people up. Speeches and promises from each party are filling the air of Qualinost, and one finds it hard not to be caught up in it all. The dominant Qualinesti group has found a new face, son of the former Warleader, a young Gerallt Caddel. The beloved Keeper Maired has announced her changing of parties, and will be running for the Arlathani. This is likely to do with her falling out of favor with the Qualinesti. The Silvanesti offer current Warleader Glace as their choice, and the Amaranthine Eirwyn Mortimer. Public opinion seems to still favor the Qualinesti, but with big names running for the Arlathani and Silvanesti, it will be no easy contest.
