Involvement[edit | edit source]
Baldur's Mouth Gazette is the only edition distributed within Baldur's Gate City and its suburbs. Unsurprisingly, it has become a powerful tool for swaying minds of baldurians for Enver Gortash, when he started his endeavour to bring the city to his heel.
To achieve this, the Archduke nominee won to his side Ettvard Needle, the editor-in-chief of the print medium. From the moment of their collusion, the gazette covers the city events solely and exclusively in favour of Gortash. The reporters are instructed to gather all the juiciest rumors and gossips, which later are cobbled into prejudiced and one-eyed articles.
As the plot goes on, the party might become an object of such slanted opinion on their actions. The Stop the Presses quest allows to find out all the lowdown of the gazette inner workings - and even to use it to their advantage.
The newspaper is a daily edition and can be bought for 2 gold pieces from News Hawkers positioned on several points throughout the city. All these are children trying to make some money for their families, though their attitude towards this occupation differs among the kids very much.
Also the newspaper can be bought from Lilly Beanbottom, a newstrader in Rivington, and from Silfy, a tiefling girl previously met in Act One [2].
