Town Crier Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "Antius Blackmoor offers his thanks to all who helped push the Viamontians back from Zaikhal. They are still a threat to that city, but not such a vital and impending one as they once were."

Town Crier tells you, "Do yourself a favor; if you run across a woman named Xsao Lann, stay away. That lady's crazy."

Town Crier tells you, "Have you seen one of those new Pitcher Plants? Frightening, hideous things, I say."

Town Crier tells you, "How's that Violet Ball treating you? Didn't I give you one a few months ago? I think I did, but I'm not sure. I talk to so many folks these days. It's hard to keep you all straight."

Town Crier tells you, "I have heard that the Hea town of Ahurenga is being plagued by thefts..."

Town Crier tells you, "I have seldom pitied a race of creatures more than I pity the Fiun. To hear their tale, oh it makes the heart weep. And let me tell you, if you have little

Town Crier tells you, "I just received a report from Einrik Gaul. It seems the Withered creatures near the Singularity Caul have expanded their base of operations. I certainly hope this expansion doesn't continue."

Town Crier tells you, "If you go out and about, I recommend you stay far away from the Singularity Caul. Rumor has it that the Order of the Raven Hand has moved in and set up shop."

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard reports that a crew of bandits have set up an impregnable fortress atop a spire in the Direlands. The Queen has asked her guard to confront those bandits for certain crimes they have committed against the realm, but none of them have yet figured out how to scale that spire."

Town Crier tells you, "Jin Ghao is stationed at Danby's Outpost. He needs people to help him find the truth of these rumors about Fort Tethana. If you desire to aid the Queen, you should speak with him."

Town Crier tells you, "Shadow Hunter Sarkin Killcrane of the Knights of the Golden Flame has been stationed in Wai Jhou. He has long been a friend of the realm, so I stopped by for a visit, but all he wanted to talk about was the happenings upon the Singularity Caul."

Town Crier tells you, "Speaking of crazy people, have you met Surloshen? I have seldom had a more uncomfortable conversation than the one I had with him."

Town Crier tells you, "There is a name I have heard whispered amongst those who study the occult histories of Auberean. I know not what it means, but everyone I have asked about it turns white with fear and cautions me to lower my voice. The name... the name is 'Grael'. See what you can find out about it."

Town Crier tells you, "There's a young man named Jacob who resides in Arwic. I hear he needs help retrieving an item from his corpse. I swear, it's a wonder these newcomers aren't all running around naked and weaponless."

Town Crier tells you, "There are tales of a Sclavus who has kept a ten thousand year vigil in the swamp by his master's tomb, somewhere in the Direlands. Ten thousand years! Imagine what the swamp air must do to the skin after all that time!"

Town Crier tells you, "There is a small gang of skeletons out by Arwic who have established a new outpost. I wonder what sort of assault they might be planning. Wait, do skeletons plan anything? Do they have brains? And how do they move?"
Town Crier tells you, "This certainly is a strange world."
Town Crier sighs.

Town Crier tells you, "Who would have thought plants would thrive on sausage? This certainly is a world of wonders."

Town Crier tells you, "Word has it the commander of Fort Tethana has been seen in strange company. The rumors are - and I hate to say this - that Viamontian Knights have passed freely through his lands. What could that man be planning?"
