Town Crier Rumors

Town Crier Tells you, "Watch Out! I hear the northern forests and mountains are more dangerous these days!"

You Give Town Crier Pyreal.

Town Crier Tells you, "Those who have sworn to Bael'Zharon and kill their fellow humans are gathering in specially designed dungeons to do battle. I wonder who put those arenas there?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,"Oswald was sighted in Hebian-To yesterday!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,"The strongest bowstrings are made from hoary mattekar guts. Makes bloody big bows, though, so you have to use their horns too."
