Trolls Overtake the Blue Mountain!
Amid threats of mud bombs and stone rockets the Trolls have garnered control of the entire Blue Mountain passage.
The Society Council (holding a Troll majority of Governing Judges) declare the closing and consequent guarding of the entry into the Blue Mountain Tunnel became necessary after the violent protests launched over the popular gnome recreation area, The Recline and Dine, also known as the ‘R & D’..
Opposing voices contend that a general clean up of the collection of privately owned enterprises could have been accomplished in a few weeks. Opposition also adds that individual proprietors should be responsible for the renovation (or rebuilding) of their own enterprises.
Trolls retaliate with the declaration that individual responsibility would only result in Trolls being ousted from the Tunnel Passage altogether.
A large number of the population (gnomes, elves and fairies alike) conclude ousting the trolls would be a good idea for the population in general. Polls contend the majority believe the Council has overstepped its authority in completely closing the R & D. Not only has such a ruling infringed on the individual rights of the population, so the majority declare; it is also lays a giant hindrance to population economy. Rather than the cheap, convenient use of the Mountain Tunnel; now, everyone wishing to travel to the City of Origin must take the longer, more strenuous trip over the mountain top, across the newly constructed, allegedly overpriced bridge. Not only is this longer trip cost prohibitive it presents physical difficulty for those of age, less agility, or carrying children.
Recent polls reveal the majority of the population are of the opinion that the ruling Judges united in turning a deaf ear to public outcries until last evening. In the dead of night the three judges not of Troll persuasion were abducted from their beds. At this hour their whereabouts and state of their health are unknown. A group of Trolls identifying themselves as the ‘Muddy Peacemakers’ has claimed responsibility for the abduction.
Initially, the five remaining Governing Judges (all of whom are Trolls) appeared horrified by the disappearance of their fellow Judges. Skeptics immediately claimed the disappearance of the two fairy judges and one elf judge is suspicious at best. And, within the past hour, evidence has surfaced to support suspicion that the five remaining Judges and the Muddy Peacemakers may be working together.
Peace no longer exists in the Democratic Society of Gnomes, Fairies, Elves and Trolls. While the fairies and elves cower in fear of the governing trolls, the garden gnomes have begun to take up arms.
