The Daily Mail & Telegraph of Eliria was formerly the oldest extant newspaper in Elwynn, founded in 1605 as a merger of the tabloid Daily Mail (founded in 1527) and the conservative Eliria Telegraph (itself founded in 1498). Despite its name, it was published and widely read all across Elwynn. Its political leanings since the merger were "independent, nationalist, and humanist" (note the Oxford comma). From its beginnings as a tabloid, it developed into being Elwynn's newspaper of record. It was the active voice of dissent during the Vanic era which brought Ayreonists and other liberals into its readership. This drift leftwards continued during the second independence period after 1672 AN, in line with the Ayreonist values of Upper Elwynn.

The final edition of the newspaper was published on 19.XIV.1694 AN, the day before the "Scouring" which pressaged the fiery demise of Eliria and the Old Elwynn that ancient city represented.
