LORD EARMIL REBORN AS NORD: CLAN GRIEVES AND VOWS VENGEANCE AS DETRACTORS INSINUATE ACCUSATIONS OF SOUL-CLUTCH IMPROPRIETY

Clan Taneth (Sui-Jin-Xia) was rocked by the stunning announcement that the venerable Lord Taneth Earmil, known for perfecting the ard-loy method of seed-sowing, whose soul was denied freedom early in the Second Era, has been reborn as a Nord in Skyrim. Dreamsleeve-logiseers claim they have tracked the once-honored ancestor's dissolution and reformation into a young Nordic couple in Falkreath. Clan Taneth has declined to comment, but the seed-seers... (page 2)

TRANS-CYROD PUDDING FACES: GONE FOR GOOD?

As you may have noticed, perceptions of Altmeri physiology have become increasingly refined over the Eras. Accentuating this decline have been the rise of the so-termed "pudding faces" among expatriates, whose features inevitably come to resemble that of their Cyrod hosts. Recent reports, however, have shown that this is increasingly changing as Altmer realize their innate creation-cursed potential once more, and soon they may be as angular as... (page 4)

We all know about Clan Direnni and their Tower by now. Truth is, do we need it? Will it help us return to our past glory, or is it nothing more than a glorified scroll-case, grand testimony to the Time Dragon's great failure? Loremaster Lorints gives us the scoop on the real function of the Towers. (page 5)

RISE OF THE THALMOR

"I saw them!" Lady Eilonwy claims. "The Thalmor are coming!" Could it be true? For notes on the highlights of the history of the Thalmor, turn to page 6. For more testimonies, turn to page 7. For King Karoodil's thoughts on the matter, turn to page 8.

THREE WAYS TO TEST BLOOD PURITY: TAKE OUR QUIZ NOW!

Have you ever wondered if those newbloods you see in the Foreign Quarter have a lineage to be proud of? Here are three signs guaranteed to tell you if they're only going through a phase or if they truly have a tainted blood-ancestry! (page 9)

I liked the fragment of the first article. Hmmm...tracking where souls that were recycled in the Dreamsleeve went? Is that even possibly once the dreamsleeve cycles the soul? Seems akin to finding that one drop of water after it fell in a puddle. Interesting idea though.

Of course a tabloid would get the scoop on the most important political movement of the coming era. Where's MIB when you need them?

I never imagined the Altmer would be the first to pen a Tamrielic Daily Mail, I somehow imagined the Imperials would be there first.

Probably not possible, but it is a tabloid.

I loved this. It actually fit with how the altmer are supposed to be as well. I could so see this being a trashy periodical the lower and middle castes read in their spare time.

THE WAR ISSUE 2E582

BREAKING: State of war against Rebel Cyrod.
MORE HEADLINES: Are young Ayrenn partisans dreaming of a new Merethic Era? Board of Battlemages skeptic of effort.
Actual Dominion army in strike reinforced by the Priesthood of Auriel warning about the sin of setting foot on the mainland, invasion
force to be conscripted youth. Aetheric surplus enough to mirror-bombard Cyrod for 5 years. Specialist suggest boiling of the lake
Rumare as precaution. Cristal-Like-Law Archaeologists suggest hoarding of Ayleid artifacts. Imperial propaganda memographies
suggest the Dominion uses Nedic armament and ceremonial armor flaming the board of War Magisters.


BREAKING: Cristal-Like-Law passes the amendment for the first wave of strong man-fooling illusion magicka to cover Summurset,
setting the islands as a gritty stone-set High-Merish ideal of Trans-Kalpic Colovian Imaginarium for the duration of the war.
Nearshore mirage-forming mirrors activated for the first time since the The War of the Uvichil. Islands to be unreachable by mannish
ways, says Mirror Logician.

BREAKING: Lord Elder Fiiralmo of the Priesthood of Phynaster, said to recollect the Dawn in pristine detail, immolated himself in
aetheric fire front of the High-court of Alinor, against the second departure of Queen Ayrenn to Rebel Cyrod, making Lord Magister
Ciralind shed his fist tear in 700 years.

BREAKING: Ayrenn sacred foolishness forces the Aldmeri navy to disable aetheric power supply in protest,
after refusal to embark for her journey to Rebel Cyrod in the navy crystal and glass-hulled sunlight-paddle-wheel aetheric-magicka
powered ship ADS Phynastersteps, preferring instead, to reuse her wooden invention so-called Swan Ship, whose aesthetic
resembles not the eagle of prey but the roast of Direnni festive table.

MORE: Safety measures? Sunbird fleet deactivated in wartime, exploration of Mnemolic

rumors denied.

BREAKING: Cyrod found to be a temperate forest, Heretical Ayleids unable to define their Landed title climate, entheogens to
blame. MORE: Are Nibenese Battlemages a Reman Era myth? Is another dragon break expected? Is actual Rebel Cyrod a
depiction of Tsaesci viral warfare?

News of offensive interest, [200+] Reader discretion advised.

From Rourkenia, Genocidal Crown faction official refuses to meet with Orsimer envoys, Genocidal Forebear faction amused,
claiming that the war effort is the chance of territorial expansion, Guild of Thieves under Forebear Radical stole a purse of
Yokudan dust from the Crown treasury, throwing the contents on the high-official face, leading to a sword duel of 12 days and
counting, both presumed dead. MORE: Genocidal Crown faction sapient distaste for Manmeri culinary.

From Dirennia, before court balls Orsimer envoys to be trained in bathing and grooming, theorbo playing, illusory eloquence, and
alteration dance, by Manmeri notorius Sanguinist Under-count Maniel Gabanre of the third eastern hill of Wayrest. MORE: Can the
Direnni be trusted? Poisonings rise in Dirennia as political chaos is reinforced by The Illegal Daggerfall Covenant.

BREAKING: from Heretic Reysdania, Illegal House Telvanni magocrats laugh at the possibility of Coldharbour planemeld, the lack
of wit of the Demon is said obvious and they bet lands among themselves of it being a Mephalic web-joke, due to Mannimarco-issued
Imperial propaganda stating wrong daedric title. PSJJJJ agrees.

MORE: from Heretic Reysdania, Illegal House Dres burns entire saltrice harvest along with transgressive Hist creatures to protest
decisions of the Illegal Ebonheart Pact. Forcing the cursed populace to bite the foul grain of Falmeris.

MORE: Ayrenn fashion statements? Browse secret memographies of the queen posing in Bosmeria wearing non-protective
ceremonial armor of ill-taste, associated with the underground fashion house "The Beautiful". Sea-silk couturiers appalled, hear
what the sartorial advisor Lord Umbacalm has to say.
