As follows are a listing of some popular [or long-lasting] publications from within the Boreasic Compact. I will be updating this publication listing [this post] incrementally with updated information and also with publications which are popular within Specific Regions.

[The] Duncrk Wilyr- Originating from Duncrk within Dveria state, the Duncrk Wilyr [Literally: Ranger/Courier of Dun-Carrick], the Wilyr is the foremost publication within the Dveries/Dveria Known for its sometimes rightest and rural-ist take on politics, it has a strong following in Dveria, Kilkerry Isle, and Western Warre and was the third to begin publishing English editions of its publication.

It's editor has been known to spout almost racial rhetoric about Celtic [specifically An Lyric] supremacy, and has been imprisoned no less than seven times by the State Police within Dveria over attempts to commit 'ancestry crimes' upon germanic descended Boreasic peoples. Additionally, its editor has been banned from Tenemine for acts of 'terrorism' therein, though highpowered (And ironically enough germanic) lawyers have kept him from the headman's axe, for now.

Lumina's Lantern- The Capital of the Compact's favorite newspaper [and its current longest standing]; Lumina's Lantern is known to be the most moderate and fair-balanced within the nation on issues outside the nation- and is rumored to have the largest subscribers list internationally. It is known for keeping track of those currently considered for being awarded citizenship for outstanding service. While it has a weak following outside of Lumina itself, Kilkerry, and Duncrk also have strong followings, and it is the strongest mainland written newspaper within BallyBrenden, Tenemine, and Kayah Tanah.

UiRyan's Voice- A paper published by the UiRyan Clan, this paper originates out of Stormmaigh [Stormhold] within Rygard- and is the paper most viewed as biased within the nation; though it has the courage to say what others might not. Previously called 'The Hound's Howl' by the UiRyan Clan's Bearhound Corporation; it was rebranded after the corporation was called out for using it as a 'tool for the UiRyan clann and nothing but.'

The Warre Guardsman- The paper with the highest domestic distribution within Warre and the-whole of continuous Boreasic Compact, the Guardsman also is the rival for Lumina's Lantern's followers within Tenemine. The Warre Guardsman is known to have a slightly right leaning militarily- left leaning economically and domestically viewed grouping of writers and editors, but tends to moderate other views.

Tenemine Truthhound- The closest thing the riochta of Tenemine has to a 'national' newspaper, the Tenemine Truthhound was once known as the 'Tenemine Shepherd', but had it's name changed following critics inside Tenemine and outside of it criticizing the paper as one which should really be called the 'Tenemine Warhound', based on it's aggressive editing and it's long standing far-right and pro-Boreasic imperialistic agenda. It is read by political analysts in the mainland as well as some right wing readers such as those who read the Warre Guardsman; but often criticized.

And indeed, when the ever-ready to fight Tenemine Shepherd was called that, it replied with 'Tenemine men are always ready to be warhounds, war hounds for the truth!' and thus the current name of the paper was born, the next issue of the paper calling itself 'The Tenemine Truthhound' and continuing since.

The top Compact, Boreasic, and possibly world-wide producer of comics, or 'graphic tales' as they tend to call them, Havok! comics originated in the 1890s when the 'Old Lyrism' movement was gaining steam, and archaeologists, families, and many others began inflaming a fervor of nostalgia for that time, especially the murals and tapestries which were used by the Old Boreasic, 'Lyric' peoples; the ancestors of the modern Lyrican nations of Bantyr, Caorachstyr, Carnachia, Dveria, (the) Ivernia(s), and Warre.

These tapestries almost always told epic stories- and given the costs of filming and transporting movies, those graphic minded storytellers within Boreas whom could not gain the funds necessary to tale movies, or even direct plays or radio-stories, took to the pages of the published work; creating the first graphic tales, comics, and indeed graphic novels (ooc; At least in Boreas, assuming someone wants to bitch about me 'claiming' such a thing. )

This led to great popularity, and the Havok! comics publishing companies soon found themselves telling tales in non-Boreasic langauges, particularly the English tongue- both as a teaching tool for schools and would-be speakers of English, and to expand the cultural influence of Boreas on the English speaking world. In addition, while the Boreasic language editions still exist and are published throughout the Compact, English language versions have largely taken over national supremacy in publishing, both as an aforementioned teaching tool- and because it is viewed that the same edition can be sold throughout the region with some folks understanding it, though these English language versions are always included with an alternate side version which is in Warreic Lyrige, the most prominent of the Boreasic Lyrige languages within the Compact.

Local News Page #1: [Soda] Water Wars?

Lumina, High Kingdom of Warre, Boreas

The sales war continues between the Riain Ghoath (Or Little King's Wind) Soda Water brand, which claims the majority within Warre, Rygard, and the Imperium; and the "Lyracola" brand owned by the O'Lyr family of Caorachstyr Province, with the battle continuing largely in Tenemine and in exports, both Caorachstyr, and Dveria strongly supporting the Lyracola brand; while the two colas, Riain Ghoath with its Cherry and lime Cola undertones, Lyracola with its Ginger and Cocoa undertones.

The sales war has become more inflamed with the Ard Riochta (of Warre)'s decision that the soda water companies can now sponsor sports teams, such as the Lemon-Lime-Orange-Cherry mixed flavor drink, 'Kayah Tanah Breeze' brand has done with the Lumina Legate Soccer team. This reporter believes that stock holders of the Lyracola and Rian Ghoath companies had better watch out for the upstart Kayah Tanah Breeze brand.

Cantigian Athletics Committee

The Cantigian Athletics Committee, as well as the extended authority of man-to-man boxing in the World Class Heavyweight Division, vouches for the garnered results of the Engellexic staffed judging consortium. This same team of Judges will commit their fair and impartial efforts to the Engellexic World Exposition of Peace, which Mister Torel Green and Mister Nathaniel Stalworth were competing to qualify for. We believe, with the evidence of a fight in Dulwich to settle the score, that Nathaniel Stalworth is our undisputed Colonial, Commonwealth, and Covenant Champion of Heavyweight Division Boxing.

Boreasic Compact Boxing Committee

This committee continues to find itself skeptic- and has nullified the match within the offices of all betting agencies which were holding results over this. We believe that our Cantigian Cousines should find themselves with the thought that perhaps the judges rigged the match in racial prejudice to confirm the white (and thus mainly Engellexic) Cantigian physical supremacy over the Olenesean, but more importantly in the Engellexic mind no doubt- the weaker candidate heading to fight the Engellexic champion in the World Exhibition of Peace; which we are quite sure that Mister Stalworth will make it to, given that no Boreasman is heading to the Composition, and his Marcher and Slyvanian Competitors seem quite weak; not even to acknowledge the Occidential Rabble that might try to battle him on his way to the top.

Cantigian Athletics Committee

The Cantigian Athletics Committee cannot do anything but advise against going down this path of racial favoritism towards a competitor based off the color of his skin, or the heritage he claims from a culture long diminished. Nathaniel Stalworth remains undefeated upon the All-Engellexic and All-Cantigian stages, where both men dared to compete, yet only one could walk away with the right to represent the Grand Covenant of Cantignia throughout the World Exposition of Peace.

What riots, looting sprees, and rabble rousing the Others may inflict upon these friendly confines; are a mere consequences of immorality and impulsive behavior of a failed culture run amuck. And if the marginalized sheep herd which is the Boreasic Committee of Boxing is in fact incapable of fielding a competitors for the Engellexic Exposition of Peace, then we can do everything to advise that it ensures these World Class events are covered over radio, telegram, and if possible television wires to its impoverished citizens, which must at this point be begging and bleating for serious competition.

Boreasic Compact Boxing Committee

Actions, rather than words- so the proverb goes, and so it remains the truth. The Cantigian Athlethics Committee reaps what it has sown in the current riots amongst the Oleneseans, which Cantignia continues to refuse any entitlement other than the phrase 'Other-than-White'. The Boreasic Compact's people will be free to listen to, watch, or read what they wish to; but the Committee stands by its statement and we also stand by the words which we have herein; that no Boreasic Champion would waste his time with any Cantigian Boxer other than the true Heavyweight Champion of that Covenant, Torel Green.

And those are our actions, for those who speak the truth need no bluster- only challenge.

Hurrah!

- And a Good day to you, sir. (The Telegram Operator relaying this message)

Transport Worker's Unions Continue to Strike-

Stormmaigh, Confederated Kingdoms of Rygard, Boreas- For the third week in a row, Boreasic Compact Guard have continued to supervise the ongoing strike between the Transport Worker's Union and the Stormmaigh based, UiRyan Transport Conglomorate. The workers, who represent dock workers, truck loaders, truck drivers, cargo crew and other goods transporting jobs, continue to fight for better pay, a shorter work day (down to seven and a half hours work day with a guaranteed half hour lunch break, from the current twelve hour workday required), and most importantly for some, health care.

The Compact Guard unit, mostly troops from the Dveries and Warre, continue to watch over the strike after a similar strike broke into a riot in BallyWren, and the local police were forced to break it up, resulting in twenty causalities, including one for the police themselves. Hope remains high that the workers will gain some sense and realize at least they have jobs and foods in their bellies, and that the UiRyan Transport Conglomorate can simply find other people to do their jobs if they don't want to get more active in doing them.

Six dead in Battle Royale caused by Stormmaigh Police Crackdown on TWU Strike-

Stormmaigh, Confederated Kingdoms of Rygard, Boreas- Last night shots could be heard throughout the port district within Stormmaigh, thanks in part to what Transport Worker's Union representatives are calling a misunderstanding. Reportedly, Stormmaigh Police came to the continued stand-off with heavier armaments and armor than they normally carry, including sub-automatic machine guns, and a police officer fired on one of the workers after said worker reportedly reached for a gun themselves.

While the transport workers fought back, and an effort to protect themselves from the police crack down until Compact Guard units could resolve the issue; the entire port district and surrounding neighborhoods were subsumed by chaos this morning at approximately 4:36 am, Rygard Standard Time; thanks to the battle and the fact that Compact Guard units on duty had been switchig with a more rested unit at the time. By the end of the incident, six were found dead, including one compact guard soldier, three transport workers' union members, and two police- with nearly half a dozen wounded, including a child who was shot by a stray bullet in his apartment off the main concourse from the primary docks of the port.

Outrage and calls for greater gun control have been made- and the commander of the Compact Guard has said he plans to file formal charges upon the police officers involved, and investigate the sparking of the incident. Tension remains high as issues about gun control, police jurisdiction, and martial law all continue to come to a head.

Rygard Battle Royale Investigation results?

Stormmaigh, Confederated Kingdoms of Rygard, Boreas- One week has passed since the horrendous battle royale that passed through the Confederated Kingdom's capital and largest port, Stormmaigh; and as well, one week has passed since the Compact Guard Commander Gerald McSwenny on duty for peacekeeping issued an order of investigation on the issue. While it brings no answer to gun control concerns, it has shaken the view of the safe police force within Rygard, as eyewitness accounts, have confirmed the first shots were fired by Stormmaigh police.

Those officers involved have been being held prisoner by Compact Guard forces since the incident, and the investigation has brought fourth five conspirators to incite the riot and break up the strike by force, apparently bribed by management of the UiRyan Transport Conglomerate. Sentencing was handed down by a special meeting of military & police high tribunal, with the Caorachstyr and Warre representatives being the only ones with say; and those five as well as their captain have been ordered to two years hard labor, with the ringleader of the group sentenced to execution by guillotine, one week hence.

The ring's Leader, Christian LeBlanc, has been released under guard to spend this last week with his family, an uncommon practice in situations like this, where immediate execution by axe is the normal modus operandi.

Special Issue Part 1! The CuAodh meets Kann Kledha?

The story begins for our hero in his home on the outskirts of Lumina, Warre, Boreas; Bryan Wade, the great detective, super soldier, and chosen by the Fang of CuChullain- CuAodh the Mahogany Hound, defender of Warre, Truth, Justice, and the Boreasic Way rests, watching the news broadcast from across the sea on his new and exciting technology, the television! As he smokes his pipe and relaxes to the large (9 inch!) screen, the chilling howl of the Hound Signal rings through his ears from afar.

And soon he is to the Hound-den and suited up, wearing his mahogany costume, cape, and cowl- and grabbing his mystic spear, Gae Bolg. Our hero finds himself upon the scene of a fire fight between Lumina port Authority police and a figure not unlike the glorious hero of Havenshire and all communism, Alan Grey- The Crimson Torch! This figure, glowing with might is first mistaken for Alan Grey and an attack on Boreas' sovereign soil by their true, just, and hard-working Havenite allies- and without hesitation CuAodh jumps into action, swinging from the buildings and hurling his spear Gae Bolg, shouting the magic words tied to the spear, "Crom, I pray to you!" and sending a thousand waves of electric arrows forward, knocking the glowing figure from the sky.

After using his Houndradio to pick up the sight of a crash landing of an unidentified flying object, CuAodh rushes forward to find this mysterious fellow! Is it his friend, ally, and member of the Right Corps, the Crimson Torch going rogue? Find out next time in, CuAodh the Mahogany Hound!
