ADVANCE DRAFT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Shuriman, Noxian Workers Demand Independence, Noxus Deploys Task Force
Darius Dispatched To Shurima, Expected Not To Appear On Fields Today
28 June, 25 CLE—A protest begun by pyrikhos miners and Shuriman independence activists turned riotous yesterday morning, shortly before the start of the first tournament of the present Shuriman dispute. The protesters challenge Azir's right to speak for all of modern Shurima, and demand democratic governance. It is expected that the League will soon grant Azir's petition to admit Shurima as a member-state, with Azir himself as the sole recognized ruler, news that is not welcomed by all Shurimans.
After initial attempts by Noxian Summoners to talk the protesters down fell through, Cassiopeia, the High Command's legate to its Shuriman territories, ordered Darius to personally resolve the matter and "encourage further negotiations". It is expected that Darius will not appear on the Fields today.
This is a rush dispatch from The Summoner's Herald, a periodical published with generous assistance from the Council of the League of Legends and its member-states.
