Town Crier Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "I hear that the people in Wai Jhou have been busy with some new project."

Town Crier tells you, "I love the roadway from Arwic to Glenden Wood, the Obsidian Span, the run along the river and the gorgeous valleys, remind me of Ispar."

Town Crier tells you, "Who would have ever thought that Jaleh was married?"

Town Crier tells you, "The High Queen is concerned about what she heard from Knorr regarding the Olthoi."

Town Crier tells you, "Ahurenga Tumeroks recently ran a crazy Tumerok out of town. I think he lured an olthoi into town."

Town Crier tells you, "Wai Jhou towns folk claim to have learned humility or something."

Town Crier tells you, "What happened to those Virindi? Did you see them? I've never been so scared!"

Town Crier tells you, "You know that old igloo, way up north, used to hold a mysterious shivering stone? You don't want to go there now. Trust me on this one."

Town Crier tells you, "Sorry -- no time to talk! I'm getting ready for a party at my monarch's villa!"

Town Crier tells you, "I heard the Black Death Catacombs have become much more dangerous."

Town Crier tells you, "You know--It's possible that Jaleh was mixed up with the wrong element. He did just appear as a town owner a couple years back. Of course there was the fact that he is on Elysa's council. I wonder what she thinks about this."

Town Crier tells you, "What's red and blue and green and black and gold and white and… Oh just go visit the Obsidian Plains."

Town Crier tells you, "The Olthoi Horde Nests are among the lairs the High Queen would like investigated."

Town Crier tells you, "With the seasons come greater changes. I've never seen so many different types of Drudges

Town Crier tells you, "I donated a bunch of metal salvage to the collectors in Wai Jhou. Let's take back Dereth! Well, I guess we never had it to begin with, but... you know.

Town Crier tells you, "Did you hear about the crazy Tumerok who rides olthoi? I think he should start a road show where he does various olthoi riding tricks."

Town Crier tells you, "Wai Jhou vendors are selling high and buying low now. I got some really good deals there. They say they don't want pyreal to distract them from the path."

Town Crier tells you, "Apparently Jaleh had some meetings during the day that his wife knew about, but he never came home that night? I wonder what happened."

Town Crier tells you, "I hear that Ciandra took on an apprentice. Nice looking girl. I wonder if she gets lonely out there in Xarabydun? Maybe I'll stop by on my day off."

Town Crier tells you, "Oh just like everyone else, my advice is only good enough for a single pyreal! Well thank you, Mr. Pyrealbags this'll go a long way toward providing for my family. I'm sure that an egg will feed me, my three kids and my wife."

Town Crier tells you, "Oh you just don't know..."
