The Sliberberg Sentinel Headquarters
Located in a second-story suite above a butcher's shop called the Hog Heaven, the Sliberberg Sentinel is the city's only official printer of broadsheets. It serves as one of two primary distributors of news and gossip in the city and publishes a new broadsheet every two days. The broadsheets are distributed via a small army of ragamuffins and orphans, often called the sentinel lads, for 40 a sheet.
The Sentinel is renowned for its sharp, biting coverage of city events and its notorious column, The Scoreboard. This column chronicles the latest scandals and excesses of the nobility in the local version of the Great Game, often portraying its participants as bumbling, out-of-touch nincompoops. The column is frequently accompanied by scathing political cartoons, much to its readers' amusement (and occasional outrage). In addition to news and opinion pieces, the broadsheet provides ample space for classifieds and advertisements, cementing its place as a must-read for citizens of all stripes.
The Sentinel is run by Knockenvolk named Powell Two People (yes, that is his name), who serves as editor, owner, and leader of his team of freelance journalists. Unlike most Knockenvolk, he remembers quite a bit about his life, except for anything specific about who he was before the transformation, so he gave himself the Two People surname. His transformation also left him with some funny ideas about society that many would identify as real-world leftism. He is always seen wearing a red beret and commonly peppers his speech with revolutionary slogans. Despite his revolutionary flair, Powell has been, until recently, a paper tiger. The paper has grown since Murtagh's fall, thanks in part to regular donations from an anonymous benefactor. He is known for hiring adventurers to sniff out scandals among the city's elite, paying handsomely for juicy leads. His long-running feud with the Town Criers' Guildmaster, Thaddeus Broadclap, fuels a tit-for-tat war of sabotage and subterfuge. Powell occasionally employs adventurers to carry out the latest reprisal in their rivalry.
