Town Crier Rumors
Free Rumors:

- Town Crier tells you, "Apparently those new olthoi have become more resistant to magical attacks, do not underestimate them."
- Town Crier tells you, "Empyreans have returned to Dereth! Asheron still seems troubled by something. I figured he'd be happy."
- Town Crier tells you, "I've heard reports of several strange seers, who are testing those powerful enough to use their gifts. I wonder what that's about..."
- Town Crier tells you, "The snow has returned and along with it the snowmen. Such a lovely time of year."
Pyreal Rumors:

- Town Crier tells you, "I've heard rumors that another frightening creature may soon show up in the frozen north. I wonder what it could be."
- Town Crier tells you, "Those magical presents from winters past have returned, but they appear to have been moved. Who would do such a thing?"
Ulgrim Rumors
Free Rumors:
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "One of those new olthoi came by to visit me a week ago, I blasted his head off with only one spell. Another one came by today and for some reason it took more then one spell to blow him to pieces. I must be hungover."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "There's been a strange giant present in my house for what seems like years now. I finally opened it and all I got was a mana forge key. I can't drink a mana forge key."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I think this is the first winter in a long time that I didn't get snow blindness when I wandered through the woods. Now if I could just manage to make foot prints in the snow in a straight line."
Stout Rumors:
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Those mansions I've seen are pretty nice, but nowhere near as nice as the house I built for myself. I used to have a fortress on Asheron's Island, but the neighbors were too loud."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'm glad those harvest reapers have disappeared again. Every fall they try to raid my stash of stout, bunch of alcoholics that they are."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I hear if you lick a Burun you can see all sorts of cool stuff."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I followed some guy around the other day as he collected the presents from past winters. I asked him what he was doing and he replied that he was hiding the presents in new spots. I told him a great spot and he thanked me with a stout, seemed like a nice guy."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I was tired of having to run over hills just to kill a creature so I created the Arcing Spells. Now everyone is using them and nobody is giving me any credit! I think I deserve the title Archmage at least."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ulgrim the Archmage, Master of Time and Space, Leader of the Virindi Resistance, Master Tinkerer, Seer of Truths, Lord of the Jewelry, Supreme Peppermint Cook, Celebrations Advisor to the Queen, Chess Grandmaster, the Shadow Tested, Virindi Regulator and Beer Lord. Yes, that fits nicely with my other titles."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I ran into Deewain the other day, a good friend of mine from the olden days, and he seemed pretty angry. I asked him what he was whining about and he said that some of the Empyreans who had him destroyed have returned to Dereth. Those Empyreans better watch their backs, Deewain is almost as tough as me."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've drunk things you people wouldn't believe."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Burning Mana Blasts off the coast of the Caul."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've watched pint glasses glitter in the ephemeral light of portal space."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "All these memories will be lost, like stout from a keg..."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Time to drink."
