Town Crier Rumors

Free Rumors:

Town Crier tells you, "I've seen many people sporting new hairdos lately."
Town Crier tells you, "Shadow activity continues to rise. Whatever they're up to, it can't be good."
Town Crier tells you, "I've seen several fashionable members of the societies lately. I wonder if they'd let me join?"

Pyreal Rumors:

Town Crier tells you, "News! Societies are now offering tailorable robes and shield covers! What will they think of next?"
Town Crier tells you, "Isin Dule continues to seek aid in thwarting whatever it is the Shadows are up to."
Town Crier tells you, "Barbers across Dereth have begun offering new and far more fashionable hairstyles to their clientele."

Ulgrim Rumors

Free Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "How do you like my new hair cut? Pretty stylish huh?"
Ulgrim squints at you.
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Well I don't care what you think, you're way too ugly to talk about my looks."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I went up to visit Aun Javhalrea the other day and he just stood there and ignored me. I couldn't believe he was so rude, no more stout for him."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'm seeing a lot fewer corpses around these days. It is a shame really, I used to make my drinking money by robbing the corpses of their pyreals. Now I have to rely on people walking by to randomly decide to give me stout. Strangely enough that seems to happen a lot."

Stout Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It seems the Shadow Generals are collecting ley line data around Tou-Tou. I don't know about you but everytime I've heard of something messing with the ley lines, terrible things have followed."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I went up to Asheron's Island and visited Deewain. While I was there I said hey to my old pal Asheron too. I challenged him to a duel but as usual he turned it down because he knows I can beat him with 4 stouts in me and one hand tied behind my back."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I must have been pretty drunk the last time I went down into the Frozen Cave up north. When I took the path I thought I had before I ran into a stone wall. Oh well, I will just have to get some other ice for my drinks instead of chipping pieces of off Ordas, although that is the best ice around."
