Egelion

Altea, Egelion - A new rumor is circulating Egelian political halls lately and it seems the Speaker of the Royal Court is now under fire. At the start of Speaker Dolid's term, she got into intense debates with the Royal Council regarding fiscal policy and a new way forward with Egelian economics. At the end of the day, Conservatives failed to pass significant legislation that would have turned Egelion into a more extreme laissez-faire state. This brutal and significant loss for Dolid led to her failing a campaign promise and losing confidence from her party.

After the main vote at the Royal Court, Dolid apparently went to El Capitolio, the meeting place of the Royal Council, and demanded to see Royal Councilor Cascabel--humiliated after the councilor's interference. The meeting was never granted to her. Staff at El Capitolio claimed that "unscheduled guests" did not have access to meet directly with their excellencies. Betrayed by her party and the Royal Council itself, Dolid reportedly engaged in a classified smear campaign against members of her own party--seeking to destroy their legacies and the future of the Conservatives.

Whistleblowers accounts at the Royal Court revealed that several members of the Conservative Party were doxed and harassed on social media, with some politicians receiving death threats. Politicians called for increased security by the Home Defense Force, a decision that would essentially be denied by Speaker Dolid herself. With her party members under social attack by random identities, Dolid began to look towards the Royal Councilor who betrayed her proposals and her mandate.

Royal Councilor Cascabel is now the most unpopular councilor in the nation after several hidden details behind the Cascabel family were leaked. Some of the reports were redacted in a biased way against the Cascabeles, but the leaked reports show that the family has been using their bank services in Egelion to directly benefit themselves through hidden loopholes and services. Initial reports were shocking for the public, but all redactions in the leaked documents made many rethink the accusations. How did the public tie Dolid to these accusations? A simple mistake in organization: the IP address used in the leaks and orchestrated social media attacks were all linked back to Dolid's offices and an underground location near Dolid's home in the highly illustrious Sorsuela neighborhood.

Public reaction is mixed, some choosing to believe, others needing more evidence. Dolid remain away from the public but continues to work. El Capitolio is currently silent on the matter, but knowing the council's previous audacity, their silence is merely a temporary reaction.
