The Estian Bulletin

The Bulletin is a daily newspaper, the biggest in Estia. it publishes events from around the archipelago, but with a focus on the larger cities of the League. It is controlled by House Tuveren, and is a powerful asset in their political aims.

The divide between editorial content and advertisement is intentionally unclear, and many articles are thinly veiled endorsements of products or services. This is a major source of income for the paper, as a well-placed article can bring much business.

Newsroom

The Bulletin's head office is located in Covenant, and this is also where it is printed. The newsroom is very loud, with the mechanical printing press stationed in the center of the octagonal building.

People

The Bulletin has reporters in every major settlement of the League, and also employs correspondants in Tel Edhil and Solstice.

Journalist

You write about the goings-on in the islands, and publish your findings for the world to read. It is your job to sleuth out what others do not want you to know, and to gain access to the people that matter. What type of stories do you focus on? Have you made any enemies? Do you have any good story leads?
