Town Crier Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "Students of Nuhmudira are in some of the towns. Humans, Tumeroks and Lugians, learning and working peacefully together... Imagine that!"

Town Crier tells you, "Every year it's the same thing. The first snowfall brings those animated snowballs down from the mountains. My brother's wife's sister's cousin said they can't be trusted. Says they threw him out of his own house the other night and were freezing the place over when they happened across his hearth and melted clean away. Good thing he had a roaring fire going! To be fair though, I hear it's mostly the two-headed ones that are causing all the trouble."

Town Crier tells you, "I would love to take a look at one of those giant gift boxes that appeared in a number of the towns. But no, I'm stuck here and talking to you."

Town Crier tells you, "I heard an odd story from a hunter today. He says that he came across a blind snowman in the northern woods. Said the thing was too pitiful to kill. If you hear of anything that might help it you should head out there."

Town Crier tells you, "If you go talk to one of Nuhmudira's students in some of the towns they may tell you how you can get something nice out of those giant gift boxes."

Town Crier tells you, "The Furniture Vendors are selling some nice new items for houses and the Woodsmen who have been busy preparing for Winter have some new items as well."

Town Crier tells you, "They say that a woman trafficking in dark magic lives inside that cottage and that she knows something of the King of the Tuskers. Seek her out if you dare."

Town Crier tells you, "Some have said that Ketnan did not move to Aphus Lassel of his own accord, that there was something or someone that drove him there. Sometimes I almost feel for him."

Town Crier tells you, "The Winter winds have blown in a strange new flower. If you are interested in seeing one I was told they can be found in the mountains. They seem to flourish in the chill air."

Town Crier tells you, "I heard that a cottage mysteriously appeared on the second island of Aphus Lassel. Only those strong enough to survive there should go though."

Town Crier tells you, "I don't know if it's true, but I did hear that High Queen Elysa is rebuilding her home somewhere near Asheron's island."

Town Crier tells you, "Can't beat a nice cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter day."

Town Crier tells you, "Want to know what makes it even better? I bet you do."

Town Crier tells you, "Students of Nuhmudira are in some of the towns. Humans, Tumeroks and Lugians, learning and working peacefully together... Imagine that!"

Town Crier tells you, "I never realized some of my items could be hooked in my house. Why, it's as if they just became hookable all of a sudden."

Town Crier tells you, "I heard that a cottage mysteriously appeared on the second island of Aphus Lassel. Only those strong enough to survive there should go though."

Town Crier tells you, "Do you really think that the tuskers have a King? What would he be like? I know I certainly wouldn't want to meet him if he is anything like those Annihilators."

Town Crier tells you, "I hear tell that a few vendors you don't normally see selling house items are doing just that. They say they need to make up for some of the income they lost to people vacationing on Tusker Island. Even the Tumeroks and Lugians have felt the pinch and are selling souvenirs."

Town Crier tells you, "I found this scroll a while back and copied the words down because the parchment was too old to move. I've been trying to translate it for a while now but I finally figured out what it said. 'It eats all starting with their bottom.' What does that mean?"

Town Crier tells you, "Have you seen Arwic? It's looking like a real town again! I'm checking with the Crier's Guild to see if I can get a position there."
