“Gods, the untold depravity... it is unprintable. I'll be out of syndication if I publish your gore-smut confessional.„
Overview[edit]
He claims to be close with Lord Gortash and abuses his position of power in journalism to print propaganda for him.
Involvement[edit]
Talking to Ettvard will start the quest 
if the party had not already started it elsewhere. After conversing with him, Ettvard calls the guards to evict the party from the Baldur's Mouth, which makes the entire building a restricted area, making it harder to complete the quest. The quest also ONLY becomes time sensitive after the party has spoken to Ettvard.
If Gortash is dead, Ettvard loses interest in the party and exclusively publishes articles about Gortash's death, which makes the quest unavailable. Ettvard even calls the party "old news" and shoos them away, but this does not make the building a restricted area.
If Ettvard is killed, Malek Stones is promoted to editor in chief. If Malek Stones is also killed, then a new character called Syril Valdemar takes their place after a long rest.
According to the Sword Coast Couriers address book, Ettvard has requested a full-time courier for shipping purposes.
