Discoveries

Town Crier Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "What are we to do? Asheron helped us so much without us even knowing. Perhaps it's time to strike a blow against Martine and Gaerlan in the places we know their minions dwell."

Town Crier tells you, "Why, I am having such a great time utilizing my new Tinkering Skills, I was almost late for work today!"

Town Crier tells you, "Gaerlan's Citadel is on the move! They say it is heading towards Crater Village!"

Town Crier tells you, "The Arcanum has been expanding some of the existing cottage and villa settlements. Mostly in Middle and West Osteth, a few in Northeast Osteth."

Town Crier tells you, "Asheron is gone...can it be true? Were you there? My cousin said that Martine tore a hole open in Asheron's chest. This Empyrean, Gaerlan, and Martine were in league all along. Now Asheron is gone and we are all alone against these madmen."

Town Crier tells you, "Hard at work the Arcanum has been, building new Residential Quarters! They are accessible from Glenden Wood, Qalabar and Baishi."

Town Crier tells you, "Some more mansions have been built! Ten new ones, I believe."

Town Crier tells you, "I got my UST! Do you have an UST? You MUST get an UST! Or your backpack may bust! Available in most towns."

Town Crier tells you, "They pay me to say that. I hate it too."

Town Crier tells you, "A Fletcher acquaintance of mine was able to make me some new Deadly Atlatl Darts. I love my Atlatl even more now. Even though I still have trouble pronouncing "Atlatl"."

Pyreal Rumors:

Town Crier tells you, "I heard a secret, but it'll cost you more than that."

Town Crier tells you, "Why would monsters steal stamps from the Arcanum Storehouse? And certain monsters seem to have particular stamps. Some of the creatures just don't seem intelligent enough to have taken the stamps, let alone picked a favorite."

Town Crier tells you, "I heard of a couple new mansions North of the Lithaenean River, near the river mouth. Also, two West of Sawato!"

Town Crier tells you, "Hey, so here's a tip. Use Tinkering to clean out some of that junk you carry with you. That loot you'll never use can be converted to salvageable material!"

Town Crier tells you, "I heard tell of a secret city beneath Rithwic. If it's true, who lives there? And why? Who wants to live beneath the ground anyway?"

Town Crier tells you, "I heard of a couple new mansions North of the Lithaenean River, near the river mouth. Also, two West of Sawato!"

Town Crier tells you, "A passerby told me of a couple new mansions on the Southern land bridge. I shudder to think how close to the Direlands that is."

Town Crier tells you, "Psst! There are some new houses Northeast of Arwic, or East of Bandit Castle, whichever direction you prefer."

Town Crier tells you, "Hey, so here's a tip. Use Tinkering to clean out some of that junk you carry with you. That loot you'll never use can be converted to salvageable material!"

Town Crier tells you, "Nuhmudira isn't there anymore. Not a soul knows where she has gotten off to, but she is no longer in her prison but her cries remain. It's spooky, or so those that have been there have said."

Ulgrim Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's so good to be back! I had a fine time bar hopping across Dereth, but I missed this sandy burg."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Good to see the Virindi didn't kill everyone. I was a bit worried they might get ideas with me gone."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I would have been back sooner but I had to stop by my house to look for a piece of paper."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I visited that new island for a bit before coming home. It was great tossing those little tuskies around and convincing the bigger ones that sand is made of nanners."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "But, what's with the name Aphus Lassel? Like a tusker could pronounce that! I was tempted to call it Flying Monkey Island II, but I finally settled on Boboland instead."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The Tusker King seemed to like the name. That big fellow can really knock 'em back."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I don't trust that Virindi, Claude, he's hiding something from the rest of us."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Late at night I hear noises and see blue flickering lights coming from his tent."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "What's he doing in there?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "What the heck is he doing in there?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've drunk things you people wouldn't believe."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Burning Mana Blasts off the coast of the Caul."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've watched pint glasses glitter in the ephemeral light of portal space."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "All these memories will be lost, like stout from a keg..."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Time to drink."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I challenged Bobo to a drinking contest the other day. We were having those silly umbrella drinks and he gave me a run for my money, but he eventually gave in. He doesn't like loosing so I accepted his challenge to a banana eating competition."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I never want to see another banana again!"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Let's just say he won."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Lee of the stone!? How do you know about that!?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You stay away from my stash or I'll have to get nasty! Arrr!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Elysa moving closer to Asheron's Isle? Uh-huh, yeah, you know what's going on."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "New house decorations? I've seen them, but who needs decorations when you have stout." Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ooooo the colors!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Don't trust Ketnan! He's always mixed up in something bad. How did he get into that volcano anyway? They probably sacrificed him."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Bah! I told you so!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Yeah, I roll my own healing kit's too."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Smooth."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "A lot of people asked me how I did such a fine job tinkering my amazing sword here."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Come in closer and I'll tell you."
Ulgrim looks around to see if anyone is listening.
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "First I salvaged 100 ingots of orichalcum to make a bar of orichalcum. Herds of Griner often drop orichalcum weapons. Then I used my Ust and..."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "What do you mean you've never heard of orichalcum! Look I can't be troubled to explain everything to you. Go ask a Lugian or something!"
