Baldur's Gate Herald Issues (Newspaper)

[Hitman Hard]

I am uplifed by your enjoyability, complimentary Layla. I just would like to thank the staff for staying involved in the acquired subject of politics and articlecraft which can be more difficult to write than novel format, editor Endelyon for giving me room to write the article I had in mind, Jon for those pointedly great questions even if he didn't get much out of them, and lastly the DM Team for making this possible; specifically DM Dialectic for opening the opportunity to write some authentic mud rakin'.

Town criers begin to spread the word that the fourth issue of the Herald has been released. Young boys and girls stand on street corners, waving one newspaper with a bundle of more at their feet and shout out the front page news in the hopes it will catch the attention of passersby. Those who pay for the issue (or steal it, or pick it up later where some have been discarded in the gutters) would notice it is the longest issue yet and has a new Editor-in-chief.

Some messengers carry a copy of the Herald to a few organizations around - specifically the Church of Mystra, the Church of Ilmater, the Sword Coast Commercial Exchange, the Order of the Lions, The White Mask Theater, the Order of the Radiant Heart, the Order of the Silver Rose, Candlekeep, Doron Amar (to Councillor Alasarias Lythar) and one messenger has been instructed to make sure a copy is left at the makeshift shrine to the Morninglord in the Palace District in Baldur's Gate.
