| About the Lurian Herald | |
| Day 18 of Summer, Year 46 The Lurian Herald is the successor to many of Dwilight's previous newspapers - the Poryatown Press and the Dwilight Daily to name a few. For a long time, Dwilight has been without reliable and widespread news and so the House of Medici has taken up this task to serve our great continent. We do seek writers of all walks of lives and of all biases to write for the Lurian Herald. The newspaper itself is not strictly loyal to Luria, but its name comes from being based at the heart of Lurian lands, Giask. If you hold any interest, write to Alessio de Medici, and we shall bring you into the fold. The Lurian Herald will be comprised of many forms of news - discussed in these pages will be philosophy, history, religion, politics, warfare, hobbies of the Highborn, anonymous advice, advertisements for taverns and academies and even those sent in by the readers of the Lurian Herald. Such advertisements are all free - the Lurian Herald is entirely funded by the House of Medici - we spare no expense. |
| Society? Culture! | |
| Philosophy - by Alessio de Medici Society is not real. As a concept, they exist, but we do not live on society, we live in cultures. This culture represents the living tapestry of our men and our women and how they define our qualities and our values from generation to generation. For many cultured Highborns all across Dwilight, we are all willing to take responsibility for our actions and their consequences, intended or otherwise. Equally, for many of us, we do our part in looking after the less fortunate noble families of our lands, providing the with funds and advice. Even commoners brave enough to fight monsters and the undead we recognise for their good service. In worse cultures, trust is a privilege of the few. They did not ask to come into our world, and perhaps were placed here by the gods. Some such parents refuse food, shelter, clothes - such that only a true barbarian would even consider. In Luria, at least, we all stand high with our families - and the families of others. These cultures can change. These individual men and women, good or bad, can change for the prosperity or suffering of their families and their realms. Culture is far more important than even the concept of society, clubbing everybody together as a community. We are not the will of the people - we are better than that. Each view may have merit or it may not. It can be supported by a single man or every single person in a realm. Such popularity never affects its merit. |
