The Paparazzi
Glantri is a Glantrian magazine that deals with the rumours, the scandals,
and the intrigues throughout the Principalities of Glantri. Since its first publication in the spring of
AC 1016, the magazine and its proponents achieved much popularity-and
notoriety. The Paparazzi Glantri boasts of its boldness in dealing with truths,
half-truths, and the occasional untruths, particularly about the nobility and
the glitterati of the City of Canals.
Despite the Paparazzi's
slanted focus on glamour, style and sensationalism (rather than accuracy of
facts), the Mystaran Almanac has
found the magazine a valuable source of information and has corroborated with
the Paparazzi Glantri on issues about
the principalities.
