Over the last decade, a number of new chronicles have risen up across Khorvaire. None of them match the Korranberg Chronicle in terms of the scope or the quality of their journalism, but each is tailored to the people of a particular nation, with a tone carefully chosen to stir up the pain and resentment of the war.
For instance, those who turn to the Voice of Karrnath for their news are told that the Cyrans caused the Mourning as an excuse to worm their way into every other nation as so-called “refugees” and that they are preparing treachery, while Kaius is ready to sell their country to Breland and the Mror Holds in the name of peace. Meanwhile, the Voice of Cyre warns the refugees of the contempt that others hold for them and the plans that are in the works to exterminate them all.
On the surface most of the stories seem ridiculous, but each new issue of the Voice excels at telling people exactly what they want to hear . . . and in the process driving up tension between the nations, exacerbating bigotry and short-sighted nationalism. The audience for each Voice is growing rapidly, and those dedicated to these new chronicles often dismiss all other sources of information. A thorough investigation would support the conclusion that all five Voices are owned by the same person, a member of the Aurum who is himself just one of many identities maintained by Mordakhesh. Even if this truth gets out, it sounds exactly like the sort of ludicrous theory that a follower of one of the Voices will dismiss out of hand.
