Herald's Tome

The  is a broadcasting and print media organization in Avalir.

Description
The headquarters of the Herald's Tome are in Excelsior Plaza. The broadcasting station consists of a platform ten feet in diameter and made entirely of ruby, carved with magical glyphs. This platform permits broadcasters to speak to the entire city. The headquarters also house the print version of the Herald's Tome.

The Herald's Tome has correspondents stationed in Cathmoíra. The print edition is delivered magically throughout Avalir.

Loquatius Seelie gave his regular broadcast regarding the upcoming Replenishment festivities and logistics. After the broadcast, he spoke with his assistant, Aria, regarding upcoming elections for the Octothurge and Porter's Guild. Their conversation indicated that the Herald's Tome has considerable influence in Avalir's politics.

Loquatius along with Cerrit returned to the Herald's Tome to look for more information about Vespin Chloras. They found an interview with Vespin in which he said that it was only a matter of time before someone recreated the Raven Queen's Ritual of Seeding, as well as a background conversation that Cerrit was able to lipread, in which he told Lacrytia Hollow and Loras that Avalir was home to the Tree of Names. Cerrit noticed that the reporter, Elena Tuvaris, who had gathered these clips of Vespin, had a file on Evandrin that was empty. He asked Loquatius about it, but Loquatius only said he'd had to dismiss Elena.

Loquatius went to the Herald's Tome to give a final broadcast, and was assisted by Aria. Loras appeared and demanded on behalf of the Septarion he tell the citizens of Avalir to use their spell energy to save the city, but Loquatius cast Wall of Force on him and instead told them and the people of Cathmoíra to escape, taking on the appearance of Eldamir the Wise to make it seem like an official order. He also recognized all of his colleagues in the Ring of Brass for their wisdom and bravery in the face of catastrophe.
