CRISIS: ERUPTION AT MT. PROTOS!
A crisis has erupted in North Solastella, with Mt. Protos reportedly experiencing its worst eruption for a decade. An explosion of roughly VEI 4.8 has been heard at the peak of the mountain, with smoke covering the normally picturesque island of Protos.
All of the staff and inhabitants of the island, many of them connected to the tourism and wine industry, have been evacuated by the Emergency Response Airships in Sierraville, but the impact on trade from the capital remains to be seen as ashy clouds spread as far south as Miranda Isle.
The last time an eruption of this magnitude shook the island was in 1786, when the devastation wrought by the mountain was enough, according to later historical records, to set back the victory of Solastella over Fezu by three years, as ships struggled to cope with the aftermath of the eruption and the subsequent economic crisis that plunged Marsmonte into a spiral of stagnation and contraction.
Though the last two hundred and thirty years have seen vast improvments in island infrastructure, it remains to be seen what the impact of this eruption will be.
Controversial Conspiracy Group, “Friends of Solastella” (FOSS) has once again put itself at the centre of a publicity storm by suggesting that the government was responsible for the eruption of Mount Protos.
“This simply proves what we’ve been saying for years - the government is running secret test facilities on Protos Isle that are completely unsafe.”
Government sources immediately shot down the idea. More on this story as it breaks.
