The Bellweather Boots was a prominent newspaper in the city of Ahol. The paper handled a wide range of stories touching many demographics, making it one of the most popular reads in circulation. It was known for its gritty takes on the darker side of the city and its willingness to explore topics many would prefer forgotten.
The name was derived from the neighbouring Bellweather Crematorium - lending to its macabre tone - and paying homage to their journalists' role as 'boots on the ground' on the front line of breaking news. Like many competing newspapers in the city they kept an ear to the ground for any potential leads on big scoops, occasionally uncovering information that could be useful to the right people.
Some headlines used in issues of the Boots include:
- "Myra Klev Cleaved and Dead"
- "Street Gang Red Sashes in Pieces"
- "Crow Collects Crown"
- "Coat Confirms Cannibalism"
Notable "Boots"[edit | edit source]
- Aldo Farros worked at the paper as its Editor-in-Chief. With a long, colourful career as an Ink Rake, he was no stranger to dealings with the city's various factions, be they the legitimate institutions or the criminal underworld. A straight edged journalist who sought out the truth regardless of whose feathers got ruffled.
