## Description

The Pixie Press is a minor faction that runs a newspaper. They concern themselves with the collection and distribution of information, knowledge, and the goings on of the Vale.

## History

The Pixie Press is a publication founded in the weft *648MR*, originally by Blue the Pixie. It grew from a small operation of a curious Pixie, to a a minor faction of arguable impact in the present. The primary goals of the Press is to document the various goings on of the adventures of the Weft, and the events therein, to distribute within the Vale and to the wider world.

Originally, the Pixie Press aligned with ‘The Tipsy Pixie’, a tavern run within the main town of the Vale. This helped them acquire the Ink and paper required for a paper to run, as well as the place to keep their fragile paper press, their namesake.  Members at this time included **Beetle**, the taverner of The Tipsy Pixie and **Bronwyn**, a very well informed adventurer.

The Press also had a short stint of sponsorship at this time by Countess Delevaen of Arkhos during ***‘The War Of Three’***,  whom hired them to assist her with information gathering of other sorts. Her symbol of two keys remained a fixture on the paper for some time afterwards.

A while after which, the Press fell into somewhat of a disarray as many important members left the Weft, including the Factions Head Publicist, **Blue**. As good as the stories and pay were, the risks involved were perhaps a little too potent, especially for people of letters. The pen is mightier than the sword, if said pen is a few days carriage ride away, after all.

Recently, however, the Pixie Press has had somewhat of a renaissance. *653MR*, **Blue** returned, her affectations of Pixie whimsy drawing her back. The Press at this point had long since scattered, the Tipsy Pixie also now a defunct business, but fortunately, news of the Weft is always sought for. The New Press office opened in the Vale, with a likewise fresh **Blue**. It quickly attracted a smattering of Weftians who were interested in the Vale’s fascinatingly terrifying goings on, and though they were new faces, their enthusiasm didn’t lack for it.

Despite this renewal, their previous Sponsorship was moot- which meant a lack of reliable supplies from outside the Weft. This was amended when **Pandora,** of **Circle**, extended an offer of sponsorship to the Press- citing their shared love of knowledge and letters (Though, they may argue on how exactly that knowledge is distributed.). After deliberation, the Press agreed, presenting a contract of sponsorship detailing their relationship to **Circle**.

The Pixie Press now re-surges, provided with magical Ink and hungry for stories, they are the rest of Scy’kadia’s eyes upon the goings on of the Weft (Or, at least, like to think of themselves as such.)

## Business

The Pixie Press provides advertisements and stories to those who are willing to pay for the privilege. Advertisements can vary from **5 Geld** for a small insert, to a **50 geld** full page ad. Of course, this is up to negotiation, and members of Circle are privileged to have an advertisement reserved for them free of charge if needed.

They also provide publishing services, having a printing press in such a frontier is quite difficult to maintain, and so are (seemingly) the only ones to have such. They have yet to figure out how to print magical books, despite their assertions that all books are magical.

Enchanting, mercenary work, and other odd jobs are also undertaken by many of its members.

## Pixie Press Editions

`Though the distribution of papers is how the Press makes most of their geld, people work quite hard on them- and they don’t actually have Printing Presses in real life, only printers, which means only 15/20 editions are printed for each game. As such, records of the previous editions will be uploaded here!`
