Historically, the city of Latlan has been the cultural and administrative centre of the various incarnations of [[Vice]]. Likewise, Latlan has also served as the heart of the [[Hedonism|Hedonistic]] faith in the Western Badlands - at one point even harbouring it's largest temple - however the actions of Duke Attila in uniting his Duchy with Heen have seen both the second incarnation of Vice fall and the Hedonists driven out of Latlan; the temple burned to the ground in the rampant disorder that followed Duke Attila's decision to abandon Vice. | Historically, the city of Latlan has been the cultural and administrative centre of the various incarnations of [[Vice]].

− | [[Latlan Herald|The Latlan Herald]] is the only journal printed in Latlan and was founded shortly after Duke Attila pledged his allegiance to Heen, in order that the voice of Latlan still be heard and just to get out duchy news generally. Prior to the Herald's founding, the news of the duchy was predominately handled by the [[The Vicean Times|Vicean Times]]. However after Attila's change of allegiance the Vicean Times was closed down for fear of provoking rampant Vicean nationalism in the former regions of Vice. | + | [[Latlan Herald|The Latlan Herald]] is the only journal printed in Latlan and was founded shortly after Duke Attila pledged his allegiance to Heen, in order that the voice of Latlan still be heard and just to get out duchy news generally.

The printing presses in Latlan did not sit idle for long though, with a consortium of wealthy Latlan merchants quickly buying the property from Duke Attila himself to begin running a new journal detailing the travails of Latlan. The newspaper is edited by the Adventurer, Dimon; who despite being of low birth and out of place in Western Beluaterra, claims a special attachment with the area. | The printing presses in Latlan did not sit idle for long though, with a consortium of wealthy Latlan merchants quickly buying the property from Duke Attila himself to begin running a new journal detailing the travails of Latlan.
