Broadsheet

I want to copy all the bits printed in the broadsheet (not just Beth's letters but the funny headlines about Liolesa's nerves of steel post-assassination-attempt) into one place for later reference, so here this is!

History

The broadsheet is run out of Argent with equipment supplied by Liolesa and purchased in the Alliance. The business is owned by one of the members of the city's middle class, Darvel Bet Jesa, who employs two copywriters, his sister, Tanyth, and a cousin of one of the palace servants, Eroan Fin Jesa. The news for the broadsheet is provided by a variety of sources:

  • "press releases" from the secretaries of noble Houses at the capital
  • gossip from various palace servants, solicited or submitted (personally or anonymously via a slot into the broadsheet's place of business)
  • investigative journalism and interviews, conducted by Tanyth or Eroan, either prior to or after events
  • occasional tips from anonymous sources (invariably a noble wanting to get someone else into the paper)

Articles

  • EMPRESS DISPATCHES ASSASSIN BY HER OWN HAND DURING NOCTURNAL ASSAULT: "A source close to the Empress" may or may not have reported that the assassin, after climbing through the window into the Empress's bedchamber, met his end writhing on her bed as she stabbed him repeatedly, and then set her wolves on him, who proceeded to "eat him, possibly before expiry." [1]

Photos/Drawings

  • Liolesa at her desk, sipping tea while studying her correspondence with typical sangfroid, captioned: "NOTHING DISTURBS THE APPETITE OF THE STEELY EMPRESS OF THE ELDRITCH PEOPLE." [1]
