Daily Trumpet
This old stone two-story building, home to one of Waterdeeps more infamous broadsheets, is constantly in need of cleaning due to dissenting opinions armed, alas, with rotten eggs and vegetables, according to the Trumpet's editor.The broadsheets are printed and distributed each afternoon,posted on the various kiosks throughout the city and available for 1 cp each.Each tenday,the Trumpet reprints each of its previous broadsheets and adds two pages of editorials and editorial cartoons by an anonymous artist,creating a small 12-page folio that is sold by street criers for 1 sp.Despite its somewhat sketchy facts in reporting the social goings-on inside the parties ofNorthandSea Wards(Hlanta Melshimberstill resents the insinuations that she had spoiled,inferior wines at her last party,whileUltas Maernosis still demanding reparations for a report that he was affiliated with a rumored evil cult),the Trumpet has many eyes and ears and much of what is reported tends to be found true.While the editor,oneCarson Innes,is given toprovocative and enticingheadlines and reporting,he does tend to steer clear of outright libel and definitely takes care not to openly insult or question the Lords and their rulings;this is all that keeps him and his staff of 12 from being exiled outside the city walls.
