Taking It Down

The statue of an Elwynnese goddess lies toppled and shattered after protests

Riots broke out today in several major urban centers, including Mishagrad, where protesters amassed into sizable mobs, focused on locations where Elwynnese authorities had established a presence during the occupation. As the throngs of people swelled so did the violence; resulting in the toppling of several statues and the razing of at least one temple (reports are still filtering in). Protesters lassoed statues with ropes and through sheer willpower pulled them crashing to the ground. As they shattered on the hard soil the mob erupted in cheers, shouting slogans such as "Death to the oppressors!" and "Drive them back across the river!".

Tensions remain high as protests continue to erupt throughout Mishalan as anger has risen to an unprecedented high over Elwynn's treatment of the Mishalanski population during their brief yet totalitarian rule over the country. The PGM has urged patience and civility from the population, but as the government rushes to reorganize itself in the wake of the Elwynnese withdrawal, they report a lack of sufficient manpower to control the rioters. "Our police are out in full force," reported Aleksandra Volkova, Chair of the PGM. "They are doing their utmost to keep these protests non-violent." But try as they may, the people will not stand idle while the stamp of Elwynn remains on Mishalan. 'We will not stop until every temple is destroyed," said one anonymous protestor. "Their actions during the occupation severed the last bond we had with Elwynn or Amokolia. Now we are our own people."
