  1. Eye From The Sky: Clear and unashamed Imperialist propaganda, but shockingly well-written and witty.

    Iruvia Is For Lovers: sensational accounts of foreign tourist attractions, widely rumored to be completely fabricated.

    The Fog Market: a listing of illegal goods for sale, described in euphemism and cant.

    The Journal of Abyssozoology: a dry and academic but nevertheless wildly popular account of leviathan physiology and behavior, gleaned primarily from the first hand accounts of leviathan hunters.

  2. The Physicker’s Dilemma: an alleged “treatise” on the impossibility of treating Tycherosi patients. Full of baseless conjecture and crackpot theories. Sells very well.

    Unholy Pleasures: a sheaf of badly drawn pictures of demons and humans copulating in all manner of odd ways.

    The Harpooneer’s Companion: explains where, when, and how to penetrate leviathan flesh with maximal efficiency. Complete with crude diagrams.

    The Daily Skovlander: a broadsheet of news items and opinion pieces “by Skovs, for Skovs”

    Jolly Japes: a collection of humorous picture-strips by Aldo, Doskvol’s third most successful cartoonist. Astonishingly unfunny, but rude words are in it, so that’s something.

    On The Stage: a periodical which reviews theatrical productions of various types. Written anonymously in first-person plural. Known to pan anything scandalous or interesting.

  4. Y’all need more phrasal titles; how are people supposed to know what’s in your pamphlet!

    A Proposal for Employing Spectres, in and around Doskvol, without Cost to the Public or Undue Duress on the Honourable Wardens of the IMMORTAL EMPEROR

    Life, Confession, and After-life of Arvus Dalmore, Spirit Traficker and Daemon-Friend, who was Tried, Convict’d and Sentenc’d to be Burnt at the Stake, with Six Illustrations

    Hymnal Compos’d for the Exaltation of the Holy Ordinance of Ecstatic Penance, containing both Missal and Gradual Chants

    A Dialogue Between a Baroness and a Skov-lander, For the Benefit of the Young Nobility and Bureaucrats of Akoros, Called to Administer in the Service of the IMMORTAL EMPEROR, with a Conciliatory Colloquy prefixed by the Editor

    Historical Notices of the Several Rebellious Disturbances and Illegal Associations in the Neighbourhood of Charhollow and a View of the Actual State of the City with Suggestions for Restoration and Maintenance of Tranquility

  5. THE LOYAL TRAITOR, A TRUE IMPERIAL: The True Letters Of A Treacherous Skovlander Rebel, Detailing His Origins As A Docker; The Loss Of His Lady Fair To The Blood Rain; The Seeds Of His Madness That Bloomed Into Imperial Treason; His Capture On The Field Of Battle & His 8 Years In Prison & His Escape In The Dagger Isles; His Time As A Blood Pirate & His Revelation At The Maw Of One Of Those Terrific Beasts, The Leviathan; Culminating In His Journey Home & The Assassinations Of The False Royalty Found There.

    This lurid series of pamphlets is an epistolary adventure-romance with a historical slant. It is, quite obviously, written by someone who never served in the Unity War, and most certainly not by anyone on Skovland’s side of the conflict. The protagonist is written as “one of the good ones,” and once he’s in prison the story takes on a more philosophical slant, arguing when revolution is truly acceptable (unsurprisingly the protagonist concludes the answer is ‘never’). The climax of the story comes with his encounter with the demonic Leviathan who is so disgusted with his treason that it won’t even kill him — quite a stirring image against treason, that the worst of the worst creature wants nothing to do with you. Of course, the assassination of the Skovland royal family is framed as the greatest act of good and it earns the hero peace. These pamphlets are popular.

  7. In the interest of those craving: A strange pamphlet that consists mostly of gibberish and vaguely unsettling images that doesn’t look quite like anything. The rumor is that if you read it correctly then you’ll learn of a secret grotto where a something very enticing is located.

  8. The fantastic tales of Mad Jack Jubal: popular stories of a former imperial soldier who travels around the shattered isles getting into all sorts of dangerous situations but somehow coming out on top often saving a beautiful woman in the process.

  9. Strangford Sins, in which the gentle reader will better understand the monster sitting on the City Council seat and sucking on Duskwall like a tick in a goat hoof

    A political pamphlet put out in order to prepare the public for the fall of the Strangford family.
