Text
[Reading like an extremely brave (or suicidal) act of journalism, this scathing takedown of the Baldurian upper crust decries each house, from the Caldwells who jealously hoard patronage of the city's art museums, to the Irlentrees whose merchant fleet floats swift and immense across the rippling waters, to the Ravenshades who control the production of ink, dye, jewelry, and gemstones. The list goes on, with bile seeming to underline each insult, each description of the wealthy households, revelling as their good fortune turns. City life is a duck pond, the text seems to imply. Scum rises to the top.]
