Though not seen in-game, new pieces of lore are often delivered, via The Lodestone, in the form of articles from Eorzea's various newspapers. The Raven is published in Gridania and most commonly deals with issues that arise in, or directly affect, The Black Shroud.

Gridania's leading tabloid, The Raven prides itself on its fleet-footed troupe of correspondents who travel far and wide to cover news as it happens. Driven by a tenet of timely tidings, it issues extra editions with uncommon regularity. Known to pull no punches in its reporting, The Raven has earned a reputation for delivering all angles of the story to readers.
