While the entire region was reacting to the news concerning the formation of the Black Plain Empire, the Minos population received this information only through the local periodical.
The Black Plain had its own periodical distributed free of charge to its population. It brought the most relevant news for that state, government measures, attractions, and opportunities.
Such a periodical was distributed weekly in the early morning when most people in this state and the region rested from their weekly work.
Thus, on the previous day, the people of the Black Plain had already come into contact with information about the formation of the empire and the consequent opportunities that this would bring.
The Black Plain today was home to great business people and economically and militarily powerful families looking for opportunities in this increasingly competitive place.
