Town Crier Rumors

Free Rumors:

Town Crier tells you, "Popkin of the Gate, a researcher stationed in Cragstone, has sent word that she now has three dig sites in need of assistance. One in the Vesayen Isles, one in Neftet, and now one in the Valley of Death of all places..."

Town Crier tells you, "These A'nekshay seem to have a nose for trouble... Likely the reason why there are no A'nekshay Town Criers."

Ulgrim Rumors

Free Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Sounds like someone has been helping themselves to some of the goods in Linvak Tukal"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Those Lugians are just big soft carenzi pups and nothing else. A lot of bark, no bite."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I was enjoying a drink with Panhsj and he mentioned a new shipment of goods he was getting."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I offered to trade some stout for his wares, but apparently he isn't a big drinker."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I was thinking the other day that it feels like I've been on Dereth for a long time..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "When I think back it seemed to all get hazey many years ago."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I wonder why that is..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Well? Where is my stout?"

Stout Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The A'nekshay have been telling stories of some ancient Falatacot being who is wandering the desert and abducting their kin."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "If you venture out there, bring plenty of stout. It is thirsty work searching a desert."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Poor Al-Jalima. The undead rise and the undead fall."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Sometimes they rise again."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Why does anyone still live there?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The investigations into the Second of the Three Sisters is underway."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It seems they've located a cave where the essence of the Second Sister may still exist."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Search for Adrenkus if you're interested. If it were me, I'd stay out of it. Hoshino Kei is hunting for those involved in these affairs."
