CREDITS Before starting with the in-depth information about the mod, I will start with the credits. The people listed have greatly contributed for this mod and it is because of their contributions that the mod sees the light! Thank very much guys. You rock! Journalists Cirosan a.k.a High Chancellor Ocato WhoGuru a.k.a Redara Alleius Rowan a.k.a Dursa Vreylanbin Helpers Frodo67 for the proofreading PacificMorrowind for proofreading Arthmoor for bugfinding StarX for showing me how to fix those evil texture issues. Betatesters WhoGuru PacificMorrowind Shikimaru_1 Finally... Ulys for his Universal Silent Voice plugin, without which I\'d have a lot of trouble getting silent voices in my mods. The OBSE team for continuously pushing the limits of Oblivion\'s scripting engine. The community for the support. Bethesda for the CS and the Black Horse Courier. 2. DESCRIPTION I always thought that the Black Horse Courier concept was pretty cool but that it didn\'t delivered enough. First, it\'s bugged. Most quest-related vanilla articles are unlocked from the start of the game and are not distributed amongst the game world. Second, the quest-related articles cover only 1 Dark Brotherhood quest, 4 Thieves Guild quests, 2 Daedra Lord quests and 2 or 3 misc quests. Third, the Black Horse Courier Khajiiti don\'t have a purpose. They sit in their office all day long, yet you can\'t ask them for the latest articles. Black Horse Courier Expanded adds 35 new articles, written by members of the community and me. Most articles are quest-related and can be read/obtained upon the associated quest\'s completion. Combined with the original articles, you get 55 Black Horse Courier broadsheets to find and read. Some quests have different outcomes, so do the articles. If you botch a Dark Brotherhood quest, the BHC article you\'ll read the next day will focus on your bloodthirsty actions. On the other hand, if you perform the quest as requested, the BHC article will not have the same details. It also applies to other questlines other than the Dark Brotherhood. Since the Black Horse Courier is funded by the Empire, note that some articles might not be written from a neutral point of view. Lies and propaganda from the Empire may be found within the lines written by the Black Horse Courier. Praise the Nines! Praise the Empire! You can obtain the new articles the following ways: - Speaking to the couriers on horse (In the wilderness) - Speaking to the couriers in the Imperial City (Tertius Fa
