Across the Royal Continent, the great statues of past season winners have [b]vanished[/b]. Initially assumed to be a local event, it has now been confirmed that in[b] all of Albion’s great cities[/b] the same has occurred. One passerby commented: [i]“I wanted to take my kid to Conquerors' Hall today to show them the statues. We got there and there’s just a load of empty plinths! I don’t know if this is for regular statue maintenance or what, but they could have given us a bit of information at least. My kid’s crying now, thanks a lot.”[/i] Coming at a time when the Royal Cities were beginning to set up their [b]anniversary decorations[/b], this has interrupted all preparations. City elders are holding meetings to discuss the disappearance of the statues, and search parties have been sent out to try and ascertain their possible whereabouts. Ultimately, though, everyone here has been left scratching their heads at what has just happened. We will continue to report on this in the coming days as more information emerges.
