New Dialog[]

Town Crier

Free Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "I've seen several fashionable members of the societies lately. I wonder if they'd let me join?"

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard several reports of disturbing shadow activity ramping up lately."

Town Crier tells you, "I don't know if you've noticed but the undead seem far more frightening lately."

Pyreal Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard reports that Isin Dule is seeking assistance with some vital task."

Town Crier tells you, "I hear the guards near the Lost City of Neftet have returned. I wonder where they went?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant

Free Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Seems that the baby animals around Dereth have begun to grow up. I hate waiting a year to have baby bunny stew again."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I went and collected all of those extra Prickly Pears out near Neftet. I don't think people realize what a powerful brew they can be turned into."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The Olthoi Brood Matrons seem like such push overs lately. It used to be fun to go play catch with them, but now they just don't seem so impressive."

Stout Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ler Rhan seems to be getting serious about his plans lately. I think he might try to bring The Hopeslayer back to cause havoc in Dereth. I don't even have a joke for that since if he succeeds, that would truly be a terrible thing."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Don't you worry about where Deewain went to. I'm taking good care of the big softy."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The collectors on Dark Isle have found a new item they are interested in, Corrupted Essences. They seem to be a bit more stingy than before though, as they only want 100 of these items a day. Well I am here to make a stand against such limits. From here on out I will accept as much stout per day as you wish to give me. Hand me another stout and I will show you my dedication to this mission."

Ansar El-Kerdany

Ansar El-Kerdany tells you, "There once was a great staff known as the Staff of the Nomads. The staff had been broken and the pieces hidden for safe keeping."

Ansar El-Kerdany tells you, "Visit Anadil's tomb to find clues on the pieces of this staff. Return the staff to its original glory and then return to me and I shall reward you."

Esmond Fielding

Esmond Fielding tells you, "This month we have decided that Sayuji Jina needs help in her quest to understand the Tanada Clan of the Nanjou Shou-Jen."

Esmond Fielding tells you, "Return to me after you have aided her and I will further reward you for your deeds."

Niccolo De Luca

Niccolo De Luca tells you, "This month we have decided that Suzuhara Baijin, in Stonehold, needs assistance in getting a care package to his sick brother."

Niccolo De Luca tells you, "Deliver that package for him and then return to me and I shall reward you."
