Miscellaneous: Norrathian Newspapers

[nilbog]

Pending update:

-npcs created and spawn in [May2001]
-books created
-if one of the newspaper vendors has a missing volume (e.g. The Dark Truth Volume 1), the npc will still spawn in May2001, but will have an empty vendor list until Jun2001.
-most bandits and dervs have a chance of dropping any of the newspaper editions for the time, beginning in Sep2001 (the earliest report I saw for them). This means if it's Aug2001 in the timeline, they would only drop the August edition. In the current timeline of servers, they will only drop Volume 7 (2nd edition)

Open questions:
-For the Odus Chronicle, Passenger's links for volumes 1 and 3 are the same content. I believe that is volume 3 text, so currently, volume 1 is missing from Sparlus Penfold. If anyone has a source for volume 1, let us know.
-I could not find a good spot for the Oggok newspaper vendor outside in Feerrott without just guessing, so he's currently inside by the tree. Crazypro mentioned a possible location. Can anyone confirm that? Will update if so.
-If anyone knows about other npcs which could drop the newspapers and/or can confirm that first began in Sep2001, we can update.
