TRU02: BREAKING NEWS!

[Whether due to lazy staff, a clerical error, or an intent to send a message, each unit in Concord Crossing awakens to a bundled-up periodical on its doorstep in the morning...]






THE CONCORD TRUTHOGRAM
"The most honest and trustworthy publication in Concord!"


COUP IN CONCORD!
CONTROL OF CITY CONTESTED IN CONSPIRACY BY CORONATED CABAL


As if the monsters spewing poisonous chemicals and Featheraptor/Sewer Pygmy hybrids weren't enough, the red-blooded citizens of Concord now have an even greater threat looming overhead: Three princesses have arrived among the Starfallen, and our investigative journalists have brought to light their shocking plot: Instituting their despotic monarchial methods on the citizens of Concord! The Concord Truthogram has identified three ringleaders:

MISSING LINK DISCOVERED!
The Concord Astronomical Society has purportedly exhumed a distant ancestor of humanity from a river in the "Outlands"; code-named AYLA, it's said to have had the fur and intellect of a beast but the posture, good looks, sculpted backside, and voluptuous physique of a modern (Continued on page 2)

THE DEVIL'S KITSCH
Mistletoe: Harmless holiday tradition or insidious demonic plot? As if acting as a gateway to ribald acts of fornication wasn't enough, eyewitnesses have reported a HORNED, DUSKY FIGURE cackling wickedly to itself while hanging the fiendish decorations outside Concord Crossing, no doubt hoping to corrupt our youths with sloppy (Continued on page 5)

NO BONES ABOUT IT
The walking dead are horrific enough on their own; but what hope is left for us when the bleeding hearts of the so-called "Astronomical Society" have apparently decided that ACTUAL, LITERAL SKELETONS can be accepted among the guilds? We're teaching undead monsters how to cast magic (Continued on page 8, "Letters from the editor")






[The Starfallen quickly all congregate on the same page in the Liber Nuntiorum to discuss it...]
