Wizard Needed

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 not very clear, and many articles are thinly veiled endorsements of products or services. This earns the paper much gold, 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.
