The mystery of Benfal (Moore, Tryll)

[Anastasia]

"Hmm..." Balyss says, checking a few more things. "Alright, that should be enough. Thanks," she says, "Need any healing while I'm working on you?"

[Nephrite]

"No, I think I'm all right in that regard." Moore says. 

[Anastasia]

Okay then, next move?

[Nephrite]

Let's start the Aurora Propaganda Machine. From earlier:

After that, the first thing on his list is to start gathering resources on the Aurora propaganda machine. He was concerned that barely anyone in Celestia had ever heard of Aurora, so he wants to start trying to do something to fix that.

Ideally, it'd basically just be something like a newsletter from Aurora -- I imagine getting magical paper that animates or something isn't outside of the realm of possibility here, there would most likely just be some sort of cost associated with it.

[Anastasia]

Okay then, let's start with resources. What do you need here?

[Nephrite]

Some sort of cheap magical paper that isn't an issue if people throw away (maybe it just dissolves or something after some amount of time?)
He wants something that can be easily distributed to their allies and doesn't cost a fortune to produce, but this sort of ties in with the first one.
I think it's too much to try and create something that can be "updated" by itself unless it was some sort of 'billboard' like thing, that might work in Aurora but not outside.
He might actually refer to Brightwater on this since he'd imagine there's some sort of "news" there... but if Aurora has that ability within itself he'd start there.

I hope that answers the question.

[Anastasia]

Okay, and were are you going to seek the expertise to bring this all together?

[Nephrite]

He'll ask the shopkeepers since they have to have some sort of familiarity with spreading news of things.

Filbrez takes a little time out of his schedule, escorting you to a little office in the back of his ship, "Bulletins and news, eh?" he asks.

[Nephrite]

"I think it's good for morale." Moore explains. "But I also think it's good for potential new recruits, to hear about our exploits. I think it also might be useful for day-to-day activities here... there's... mm." Moore rubs his chin. "When I first came here, I didn't know anything from anything about Aurora. I think it'd be good to help new people get accustomed to where things are and get involved more easily, too."

[Anastasia]

"Before any of that," Filbrez holds up his hand, stopping you. "How much paper are you looking to use per day, week and month? What quality of paper? For that matter, what quality of ink?"

[Nephrite]

"Hmm... a simple cantrip can be used to actually copy the text, so I don't think ink would be needed at all." Moore explains. "As for how much paper... hmm... I would say probably at least 1,000 sheets? I'd want to try and fit the news onto one sheet if possible... I suppose magic could help there, if it was necessary."

[Anastasia]

"A sheet per day? Month?" Filbrez asks, "You're right, hedge mages can make a good living scribing with magic. It's how some firms in Brightwater, Dis and some mortal cities do it."

[Nephrite]

"It would be a monthly endeavor to publish the news from us I think." Moore offers. "Much more than that and I think it becomes... overbearing."

[Anastasia]

"Alright, one thousand copies per month? Where are you spreading them?" Filbrez asks next.
