Town Crier Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "Some olthoi hunters claim to have seen lugians moving through the mountains that border the Olthoi infested North."

Town Crier tells you, "Did you hear what happened at the last council meeting? Someone tried to assassinate High Queen Elysa!"

Town Crier tells you, "Have you seen the new masks that the mask makers have crafted? I think that they have outdone themselves this time."

Town Crier tells you, "No one knows who it was that stabbed Elysa. Asheron hasn't been seen outside of his tower. Antius hasn't left Elysa's side since the attempt on her life... The only person that seems to be willing to lead us is Nuhmudira."

Town Crier tells you, "The townsfolk of Zaikhal have been talking about increased visits from Nuhmudira recently."

Town Crier tells you, "A traveler along the western shore of the Direlands reported seeing cowled figures chanting at the crest of a building that peaked out of the water. From what I hear they were undead... but nothing like we have ever seen."

Town Crier tells you, "The leader of the town criers left, fortunately one of the old leaders came back to take their place."

Town Crier tells you, "With all the Olthoi around, I hadn't notice the increased undead activity in the Direlands. I?ve never seen those undead before, have you?"

Town Crier tells you, "Who is this undead mechanic I've been hearing about? I hear he lives on Marae Lassel, perhaps someone should find out some more about him."

Town Crier tells you, "I've seen her! 30 feet tall, three heads?magical powers, she breathes fire, lightning, frost and acid! She devours her own young and lives in a pool of sweltering acid? at least that?s what I?ve heard about the Olthoi Queen."

Town Crier tells you, "Nuhmudira has pledged to bring an end to the Olthoi Queen, I believe she can. She's much more powerful than Elysa!"

Town Crier tells you, "I'm not surprised that Asheron is cowering away in his tower. I agree with Nuhmudira, we're always doing his dirty work!"

Town Crier tells you, "An explorer reported seeing Renegades carving a path in the mountain shortcut. Why don't they just go take that island from the tuskers?"

Town Crier tells you, "An ancient structure crested through the surface of the water along the western shore of the Direlands. I've heard that some travelers believe it is the top to a much larger structure that lies beneath the sea."

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard that the Renegades have been having trouble with the Olthoi too. Maybe the Olthoi aren't so bad after all... oh, never mind."

Town Crier tells you, "Did you know that they moved us to a new pay schedule? We only get paid once a month, and only on the first day of the month. But I'm expected to be at my post the same amount of hours... Oh sure the town crier is here for you, but where's the love for us, huh?"

Town Crier tells you, "So I'm sure you've noticed that I haven't left this spot in nearly four years. Yeah it's a tough life, standing here all day. Sure... sometimes people are nice enough to give me Shackles of Obedience. But I was wondering... Need a patron?"

Town Crier tells you, "The Gotrok lugians seem to be moving toward the north, and the borders of the Olthoi North."

Town Crier tells you, "So I'm sure you've noticed that I haven't left this spot in nearly four years. Yeah it's a tough life, standing here all day. Sure... sometimes people are nice enough to give me Shackles of Obedience. But I was wondering... Need a patron?"

Town Crier tells you, "The wound that struck High Queen Elysa down nearly killed her. But the blow was laden with some mysterious poison, one that attacked not only her physical being, but her spirit also. If she had died she may have been gone forever. Good riddance, I say!"

Live Events

Nuhmudira Appears in Zaikhal

Nuhmudira tells you, "The Olthoi Queen is calling her children to the landscape once again. We will not lose ground in this battle. We must drive them back underground."
Nuhmudira clenches her fist.
Nuhmudira tells you, "I cannot waste the final poison on this task, so I rely on you to find a means for spreading the lesser poisons we have collected. If we can find a substance that will attract her brood to the poison I believe it will kill them -- or at the very least drive them from the surface once and for all."
Nuhmudira tells you, "Spread out and search for this substance. I have many things to attend to, and must concentrate on the greater battle to come."
