 * Town Crier tells you, "If you are a member of a secret society, you may wish to head to your vault and see if there are officers with new orders for you."


 * Town Crier tells you, "Is it true? Have the renegade Virindi renewed their old alliances?  There is a scholar named Aruq ibn Balthar in Zaikhal who spreads such tales."


 * Town Crier tells you, "It's true, our field testing proves it... War spells have got a little more kick to them lately. I wonder what's in the air?"


 * Town Crier tells you, "Scouts report that the new substance Renegade Tumeroks have been using on their weapons can be used by Isparians too..."

Ulgrim Rumors
Free Rumors:
 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I tell you kid, I can smell it on the air. Can't you?  The smell of applesauce.  It smells like terror."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No, I don't need to go to one of those godforsaken outposts and get a robe enhancing kit. I'm already wearing the highest grade of Enstoutened Robe possible."
 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That being said, I'm always game to push the boundaries. Bring me a stout, kid."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Of course I noticed that my war spells hit harder! I can also knock over a spittoon from two feet further away now!  Must be something in the stout..."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, goody goody, Rand's updated his tag list to send people after Lugians, because there wasn't already enough trouble brewing with those big brutes..."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, I think I'm having another one of my visions... Virindi and Tumeroks and Lugians, oh my!"

Stout Rumors:
 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Did you ever wonder where the eggs we eat come from? And what about the supposed chicken our cooks make? I don't eat either of them... just in case."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Did you know my face is on the Soul Staff?"
 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Yup, I'm immortalized! It's the third face down. Some people may claim it's the guy who created the staff, but he's nobody and I'm famous."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Don't crowd too close to me kid. The last person who got too close to me ended up spilling a little stout on my robe, and, well, they had to fish him out of the bushes behind Claude's tent.  After he landed."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'm sorry, you want me to go to which tropical hellhole island and harvest what now? No, I think I'll stay here and enjoy my stout.  I hate the tropics.  Mosquitoes sucking the blood out me remind me uncomfortably of myself with a mug of stout."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Is it just me, or do you hear a quiet chuckling coming from Claude's tent? Oh, I hate those Virindi.  With the smug looks on their faces..."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Let me give you a bit of advice my friend. Never look up a magician's robe, it ruins the surprise. Wait, or was it a magician's sleeve?"


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Mark my word, kid. Pack your stuff and go.  When the Virindi roll back into town, they will spare no man, woman, or purple-cheeked Tusker."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "My pappy always used to say that courage, compassion and loyalty are the keys to getting your heart's desire. But, I figured out an easier way.  Sometimes you just have to ask.  So here goes."
 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Friend, can you spare a stout?"


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh boy, winter stuck around a little longer this year, huh? Well, at least Berkholt keeps the stout nice and tepid."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So you heard it too, eh? Virindi moved in on Mar'uun?  That's not a bad omen or anything."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Sometimes you people forget... I'm not trapped on this island with you... You're trapped on this island with me."
 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'm sorry, what was I saying? Hurm."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You doubt my chess abilities? Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Yuri, Bobby, Trumper, Blue?"
 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Morons."
