== Discoveries ==
=== [[Town Crier]] Rumors ===
'''UPDATE: The Viamontian Town Criers and Mainland Town Criers have merged together:'''
<font color=darkgoldenrod>
:Town Crier tells you, "Due to the recent detente between King Varicci and Queen Elysa, all the realm's town criers share the same news.  I applaud our ruler's wisdom for reaching across the Halaetan Straits to make peace with our neighbor, in this time of peril."
:Town Crier tells you, "The realm is united!  The realm of town criers, that is.  In light of improving relations between Queen Elysa and King Varicci, and with the realm riven by mysterious and powerful secret orders, the heraldic guilds have decided to merge, and deliver the news with one voice."</font>
----
''Free Rumors'':
<font color=darkgoldenrod>
:Town Crier tells you, "A great advancement!  Scholars report that they have made a breakthrough and can now cast eighth-level spells!  It may not be easy to learn how to cast them yourself, however..."
:Town Crier tells you, "There's a newly discovered island to the south of Dereth.  Rumors are that it's home to a bunch of Moarsmen, but very few people seem to know how to get there..."
:Town Crier tells you, "There's a newly discovered island off the southeastern coast of Dereth, but as yet we don't seem to know how to get there or what lives there."
:Town Crier tells you, "The Empyrean Graveyard of the Direlands seems to have... expanded, and the Societies are sending more and more of their scouts through the area.  A troublesome development, don't you think?"
:Town Crier tells you, "News!  There's been a lot of new activity on the Dark Isle.  It seems the three Societies are quite interested in that island."
:Town Crier tells you, "You've heard of the three new secret societies of Dereth, yes?  The Celestial Hand, the Eldrytch Web, and the Radiant Blood have started openly recruiting.  They've each sent a recruiter to one of the mainland capital cities.  I'd want to visit all three towns to speak to each recruiter and see what they're about."
:Town Crier tells you, "It seems even richer loot than ever before is available, but opportunities to get at this inconceivable level of loot seem scarce.  I wonder how to get a crack at some of that treasure?"
:Town Crier tells you, "Adventurers have come across a new strong castle in the northernmost mountains of Dereth.  It's called Northwatch keep, and apparently it is the site of some squabbling between the three new Societies."
:Town Crier tells you, "News!  A mysterious organization of smugglers and thieves has opened up a couple of black market trading posts.  They claim no allegiance to any ruler or society, but they offer their business to whichever society is strong enough to control their local town."</font>
''Pyreal Rumors'':
<font color=darkgoldenrod>
:Town Crier tells you, "Heard about that new island of Moarsmen to the south, eh?  I know it's south of the land bridge, but I think you have to be an advanced member of one of the Societies to get there."
:Town Crier tells you, "The three new clandestine Societies of Dereth have started recruiting!  The Celestial Hand's recruiter is stationed in Hebian-To, the Eldrytch Web's recruiter is in Cragstone, and the Radiant Blood posted their recruiter to Zaikhal."
:Town Crier tells you, "Have you heard about Northwatch Castle?  It's way up in the wild northern mountains, northeast of Mount Esper.  Apparently the three Societies are fighting over who gets to keep it, because whoever owns it gets access to the black market trading post there."
:Town Crier tells you, "That newly discovered Freebooter Isle, so I've heard, is home to Moars, Moarsmen, and terrifying armored Sclavus, among other things.  There's also some kind of fortress out there that the three Societies keep fighting over.  Even more interesting, there's a black market trading post attached to the fortress.  Too bad you have to be an advanced member of one of the Societies to get there."
:Town Crier tells you, "The Empyrean Graveyard of the Direlands is even busier than ever!  The grounds seem to have mysteriously expanded somehow, and new creatures have turned up... But most interesting, the three Societies have their newest acolytes scouring the grounds there for various items."
:Town Crier tells you, "The Dark Isle is alight with activity again!  The three societies are sending some of their newer recruits on missions to the island to make them prove their worth."
:Town Crier tells you, "The Black Market offers some incredible items that only they know how to get at their outposts on Freebooter Isle and in Northwatch Castle.  Unfortunately, your Society has to be in control of that location in order to gain access to the Black Market's amazing wares."
:Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that there's treasure and loot out there bearing even more powerful enchantments than we've ever seen, but it's all locked up in chests... I think the Societies have the best line on getting at that loot, but there are opportunities for the unaligned to get keys as well..."</font>
----
=== [[Ulgrim]] Rumors ===
''Free Rumors'':
<font color=darkgoldenrod>
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh ho!  So the town crier guilds of the mainland and of the Viamontian realm have decided to stop competing with each other, eh?  I don't trust consolidation in the media, kid, and neither should you.  This is the latest Virindi sneak attempt to turn our brains to applesauce."
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You tell me there's even richer loot than we've ever seen, sitting around Dereth locked up in chests?  Inconceivable!"
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Those new spells that everyone's going on about?  You can thank me for those.  Yep, I decided to finally get off my duff and write out a new set of spells.  I know, I know, I'm such a great guy... The kind of great guy who deserves a free mug of stout now and again, I dare say."
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh yeah, I'm starting a secret society of my own.  It's called the Ancient and Benevolent Knights of the Empty Mug.  We quest to empty every mug in Dereth.  The Celestial Hand, the Radiant Blood, the Eldrytch Web... those folks are all capable, I'm sure, but not a one of them can outdrink an Empty Mugger.  You can curry favor with our society by bringing me a mug of stout to empty."


:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "There's so much going on!  I almost can't keep track of the new developments, what with the Societies recruiting, the black markets opening, the new islands sprouting up, new spells... My old mind is overheating.  A cool mug of stout would sure cool me off.  That was a hint, kid."</font>
== Land Control ==
* [[Land Control]] introduced with players now able to take control of keeps.


''Stout Rumors'':
== Loot Tier 7 ==
<font color=darkgoldenrod>
* New higher stat weapons and armor added.
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know, right around the time the town crier guilds from the mainland and the Viamontian lands decided to merge, they invited me to join their new organization. I guess they think I'm one of them because I sit here and try to tell it like it is. But I'm not one of them.  I speak higher truths. They're all so tediously absorbed in 'reality' and 'truth' and nonsense like that."
* Found in [[Mana Forge]] and [[Faction Stronghold]] chests.
* New Olthoi loot armor styles available in the higher tier
** [[Olthoi Armor (Loot)]]
** [[Olthoi Alduressa Armor]].
** [[Olthoi Amuli Armor]]
** [[Olthoi Celdon Armor]]
** [[Olthoi Koujia Armor]]
* New loot [[Item Sets]] available
** [[Dedication Set]]
** [[Cold Proof Set]]
** [[Crafter's Set]]
** [[Soldier's Set]]
** [[Reinforced Set]]


:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I hear there's even more going on at the Graveyard these days.  I even heard that the Graveyard's borders have expanded.  Pretty scary, isn't it?  You wouldn't think that, in a land where everyone's kinda immortal, that mortuaries would be a growth industry."
== User Interface Updates ==
 
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ah, you've proven yourself worthy to join the Ancient and Benevolent Knights of the Empty Mug.  Feel free to go around and tell people that you're a Knight of the Empty Mug.  I'd show you our secret handshake, but really it only works when you're blind, stumbling drunk."
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Just kidding!  Boy, how gullible are you?  There's no such secret society!  Really, the very idea."
 
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Don't ask me how to get to Freebooter Isle.  It actually used to be my vacation home, before I lost the deed in a poker game.  I'm very bitter about it, and only the sweet sweet taste of stout makes me forget.  So no, I'm not going to tell you how to get there.  I'll tell you where to go, all right, but you won't like it."
 
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I talked to one of those Society recruiters the other day.  Asked him why he joined his Society.  He said something about wanting to secure Dereth for the greater good, defending against outside threats.  He babbled a lot.  Finally I asked him what kind of beer they serve in the Society tavern, and he had the effrontery to call me a useless drunk!  So I teleported him over Fort Tethana.  I'd rather be a useless drunk than a flattened pile of gore in the middle of Teth."
 
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Moarsman Island?  Yeah, I know how to get there.  You run west from here until you reach the coast, then take a left turn, follow the curve until it flattens out, then take a right and swim until you hit the shore of the new island.  Watch for the ziggurats.  Simple!  Why is it so hard for people to figure out?"
 
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh yeah, I went up to Northwatch Castle once.  Met that fella Oswald there.  We played dice and drank a few rounds together, but ultimately I decided I didn't want to hang out there too long.  All the factional violence was starting to get a little off-putting, especially when someone got blood on my nice new white pants."
 
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know my cousin MacTavish runs one of the black market outposts, right?  He's such a thief.  If it weren't for my other cousins MacDugal and MacNiall, MacTavish would be the black sheep of the family.  They're all black sheep too.  So maybe I'm the white sheep.  Or the grey sheep.  Yeah, my nephew Ardry would be the white sheep, if he weren't spattered with blood and mud all the time."
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Why are you so interested in sheep anyway?"
 
: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, "Oh yeah, you'll need a Mana Scarab to cast those fancy new spells.  Don't ask me how to get them.  Once I invented those new spells, I thought it would be too showy if I went around using them all the time, so I don't even carry a Mana Scarab with me.  I am the soul of moderation.  Now get me another drink, kid!"
 
:<br>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Feels like I've been here a hundred years.  The actual number is probably closer to 8 or 9 years, but yeah, it feels like a hundred years.  I think I'll perk myself up by trying to drink a hundred mugs of stout today.  A hundred stouts for a hundred years!  Doesn't that sound grand?"
:<font color=green>Ulgrim interrupts his quiet conversation and yells, "That's right!  A hundred!  Who else can say a hundred!  No one's got the fortitude I do, to stand up to a hundred beers!"</font>
 
:<br><font color=green>Grand Masterful Poobah Ulgrim has accepted <Player Name> into the Order of the Empty Mug and conferred the title Happy Hundredth upon the lucky supplicant!</font>
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ooh, you're a lucky one, and you know why?  You've given me my hundredth stout of the day!  Or close enough, anyway.  I stopped counting after about fifty.  You actually get to join the Knights of the Empty Mug.  Membership confers no bonuses other than a neat title."
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Here's a toast to you, kid."</font>

|Town Crier tells you, "Due to the recent detente between King Varicci and Queen Elysa, all the realm's town criers share the same news.  I applaud our ruler's wisdom for reaching across the Halaetan Straits to make peace with our neighbor, in this time of peril."
File:Tier 8 Loot - Ivory Jitte.jpg
 
File:Tier 8 Loot - Ruby Acid Dericost Blade.jpg
|Town Crier tells you, "The realm is united!  The realm of town criers, that is.  In light of improving relations between Queen Elysa and King Varicci, and with the realm riven by mysterious and powerful secret orders, the heraldic guilds have decided to merge, and deliver the news with one voice."

|Town Crier tells you, "A great advancement!  Scholars report that they have made a breakthrough and can now cast eighth-level spells!  It may not be easy to learn how to cast them yourself, however..."

File:Tier 8 Loot - Copper Slashing Staff.jpg
|Town Crier tells you, "There's a newly discovered island to the south of Dereth.  Rumors are that it's home to a bunch of Moarsmen, but very few people seem to know how to get there..."
File:Tier 8 Loot - Gold Tenassa Sleeves.jpg
 
File:Alduressa Olthoi Helm Live.jpg
|Town Crier tells you, "There's a newly discovered island off the southeastern coast of Dereth, but as yet we don't seem to know how to get there or what lives there."

|Town Crier tells you, "The Empyrean Graveyard of the Direlands seems to have... expanded, and the Societies are sending more and more of their scouts through the area.  A troublesome development, don't you think?"
----
 
|Town Crier tells you, "News!  There's been a lot of new activity on the Dark Isle.  It seems the three Societies are quite interested in that island."
 
|Town Crier tells you, "You've heard of the three new secret societies of Dereth, yes?  The Celestial Hand, the Eldrytch Web, and the Radiant Blood have started openly recruiting.  They've each sent a recruiter to one of the mainland capital cities.  I'd want to visit all three towns to speak to each recruiter and see what they're about."
 
|Town Crier tells you, "It seems even richer loot than ever before is available, but opportunities to get at this inconceivable level of loot seem scarce.  I wonder how to get a crack at some of that treasure?"
 
|Town Crier tells you, "Adventurers have come across a new strong castle in the northernmost mountains of Dereth.  It's called Northwatch keep, and apparently it is the site of some squabbling between the three new Societies."
 
|Town Crier tells you, "News!  A mysterious organization of smugglers and thieves has opened up a couple of black market trading posts.  They claim no allegiance to any ruler or society, but they offer their business to whichever society is strong enough to control their local town."
 
''Pyreal Rumors''
 
|Town Crier tells you, "Heard about that new island of Moarsmen to the south, eh?  I know it's south of the land bridge, but I think you have to be an advanced member of one of the Societies to get there."
 
|Town Crier tells you, "The three new clandestine Societies of Dereth have started recruiting!  The Celestial Hand's recruiter is stationed in Hebian-To, the Eldrytch Web's recruiter is in Cragstone, and the Radiant Blood posted their recruiter to Zaikhal."
 
|Town Crier tells you, "Have you heard about Northwatch Castle?  It's way up in the wild northern mountains, northeast of Mount Esper.  Apparently the three Societies are fighting over who gets to keep it, because whoever owns it gets access to the black market trading post there."
 
|Town Crier tells you, "That newly discovered Freebooter Isle, so I've heard, is home to Moars, Moarsmen, and terrifying armored Sclavus, among other things.  There's also some kind of fortress out there that the three Societies keep fighting over.  Even more interesting, there's a black market trading post attached to the fortress.  Too bad you have to be an advanced member of one of the Societies to get there."
 
|Town Crier tells you, "The Empyrean Graveyard of the Direlands is even busier than ever!  The grounds seem to have mysteriously expanded somehow, and new creatures have turned up... But most interesting, the three Societies have their newest acolytes scouring the grounds there for various items."
 
|Town Crier tells you, "The Dark Isle is alight with activity again!  The three societies are sending some of their newer recruits on missions to the island to make them prove their worth."
 
|Town Crier tells you, "The Black Market offers some incredible items that only they know how to get at their outposts on Freebooter Isle and in Northwatch Castle.  Unfortunately, your Society has to be in control of that location in order to gain access to the Black Market's amazing wares."
 
|Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that there's treasure and loot out there bearing even more powerful enchantments than we've ever seen, but it's all locked up in chests... I think the Societies have the best line on getting at that loot, but there are opportunities for the unaligned to get keys as well..."
 
'''Ulgrim the Unpleasant'''
 
''Free Rumors''
 
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh ho!  So the town crier guilds of the mainland and of the Viamontian realm have decided to stop competing with each other, eh?  I don't trust consolidation in the media, kid, and neither should you.  This is the latest Virindi sneak attempt to turn our brains to applesauce."
 
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You tell me there's even richer loot than we've ever seen, sitting around Dereth locked up in chests?  Inconceivable!"
 
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Those new spells that everyone's going on about?  You can thank me for those. Yep, I decided to finally get off my duff and write out a new set of spells.  I know, I know, I'm such a great guy... The kind of great guy who deserves a free mug of stout now and again, I dare say."
 
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh yeah, I'm starting a secret society of my own.  It's called the Ancient and Benevolent Knights of the Empty Mug.  We quest to empty every mug in Dereth.  The Celestial Hand, the Radiant Blood, the Eldrytch Web... those folks are all capable, I'm sure, but not a one of them can outdrink an Empty Mugger.  You can curry favor with our society by bringing me a mug of stout to empty."


=== Known Issues ===
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "There's so much going on!  I almost can't keep track of the new developments, what with the Societies recruiting, the black markets opening, the new islands sprouting up, new spells... My old mind is overheating.  A cool mug of stout would sure cool me off.  That was a hint, kid."
* The [[Promotions Officer]] uses code instead of speech for rank advancement:
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Commendations Officer tells you, "Please speak with <Rank 2 Gateway Quest NPC>, here in this Stronghold."</font><br>


*Globals for taking a PK land control area seem to be jumbled. For example taking the Northwatch fort gives a global for Freebooter Isle.
''Stout Rumors''


* Impen 8 spell appears to increase armor value by 220, which is the same as Impen 7.
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know, right around the time the town crier guilds from the mainland and the Viamontian lands decided to merge, they invited me to join their new organization.  I guess they think I'm one of them because I sit here and try to tell it like it is. But I'm not one of them.  I speak higher truths.  They're all so tediously absorbed in 'reality' and 'truth' and nonsense like that."


*NPC [[Shopkeeper Polly]] of the Celestial Hand Stronghold uses the dialog from the shopkeeper of Sanamar:
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I hear there's even more going on at the Graveyard these days. I even heard that the Graveyard's borders have expanded. Pretty scary, isn't it?  You wouldn't think that, in a land where everyone's kinda immortal, that mortuaries would be a growth industry."
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Shopkeeper Polly tells you, "Feel free to peruse my wares. But know this; one day the King will crush your weeping Queen. And you Bloodless will take your rightful place in the pits of the Eaters."</font>


*NPC [[Farnor the Archmage]] of the Celestial Hand Stronghold uses the dialog from [[Fadsahil al-Tashbi the Master Archmage]].
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ah, you've proven yourself worthy to join the Ancient and Benevolent Knights of the Empty Mug.  Feel free to go around and tell people that you're a Knight of the Empty Mug.  I'd show you our secret handshake, but really it only works when you're blind, stumbling drunk."
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Farnor the Archmage tells you, "You have traveled far...How can I serve thee?"</font>
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Just kidding!  Boy, how gullible are you?  There's no such secret society!  Really, the very idea."


* Burden does not drop with a full pack and usting. [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=39643 Link]
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Don't ask me how to get to Freebooter Isle.  It actually used to be my vacation home, before I lost the deed in a poker game.  I'm very bitter about it, and only the sweet sweet taste of stout makes me forget. So no, I'm not going to tell you how to get there. I'll tell you where to go, all right, but you won't like it."


* You can not turn in society gaunts or soles for coins as stated in Society Handbook.
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I talked to one of those Society recruiters the other day.  Asked him why he joined his Society.  He said something about wanting to secure Dereth for the greater good, defending against outside threats.  He babbled a lot.  Finally I asked him what kind of beer they serve in the Society tavern, and he had the effrontery to call me a useless drunk!  So I teleported him over Fort Tethana.  I'd rather be a useless drunk than a flattened pile of gore in the middle of Teth."


* Currently all NPCs beyond sollerets and gauntlets say you must be a Lord, contrary to the information contained in the [[Celestial Hand Initiate's Handbook|Initiate's Handbook]]. This appears to just be a dialog typo as a player was able to get the greaves after advancing to Adept.
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Moarsman Island?  Yeah, I know how to get there.  You run west from here until you reach the coast, then take a left turn, follow the curve until it flattens out, then take a right and swim until you hit the shore of the new island. Watch for the ziggurats.  Simple!  Why is it so hard for people to figure out?"


* The edge effects appear to be bugged with the spell component quill icons, they do not change when adding a mana scarab to infuse. It appears as if it was intended that they change (the Quill of Extraction has the standard black edge which I suspect was meant to be for all four quills as you find them, while the other three quills have a magic white edge effect which I suspect was intended for when they have been infused.) [[Image:Quill of Extraction Icon.png]] [[Image:Quill of Infliction Icon.png]]
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh yeah, I went up to Northwatch Castle once.  Met that fella Oswald there.  We played dice and drank a few rounds together, but ultimately I decided I didn't want to hang out there too long. All the factional violence was starting to get a little off-putting, especially when someone got blood on my nice new white pants."


* The Society armor chests seem to be weighted to generate armor with a certain racial requirement. Blood seems to generate more Gharu'ndim reqs, Web generate Aluvian, and Hand generate Sho.
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know my cousin MacTavish runs one of the black market outposts, right?  He's such a thief. If it weren't for my other cousins MacDugal and MacNiall, MacTavish would be the black sheep of the family. They're all black sheep too. So maybe I'm the white sheep. Or the grey sheep. Yeah, my nephew Ardry would be the white sheep, if he weren't spattered with blood and mud all the time."

[http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?&postid=420037#post420037'''Link''']<br>
We need to do a little more internal observation here, but it looks like this may be happening. If so, it was not intentional and has to do with how the armor profiles are specified in the chests, which is going to make it especially tricksy to fix.

* The dungeon by the Mage Academy is referred to as the Rogue Delvings by the keys inside it, but the portal is called the Corrupted Catacombs.
|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."


* The new intro music/splash plays even if sound is turned off.
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh yeah, you'll need a Mana Scarab to cast those fancy new spells.  Don't ask me how to get them.  Once I invented those new spells, I thought it would be too showy if I went around using them all the time, so I don't even carry a Mana Scarab with me.  I am the soul of moderation. Now get me another drink, kid!"


* The attribute beer (+50) are overrided by the attribute buff 8 (+45). I.E : Ivory Heavy Bracelet cast Incantation of Endurance Self on you, surpassing Hunter's Hardiness
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Feels like I've been here a hundred years.  The actual number is probably closer to 8 or 9 years, but yeah, it feels like a hundred years. I think I'll perk myself up by trying to drink a hundred mugs of stout today. A hundred stouts for a hundred years!  Doesn't that sound grand?"
|Ulgrim interrupts his quiet conversation and yells, "That's right!  A hundred!  Who else can say a hundred!  No one's got the fortitude I do, to stand up to a hundred beers!"


* When attempting to solve the riddle in the [[Lord Test]], if the answer results in 78, the quest is currently bugged.
|Grand Masterful Poobah Ulgrim has accepted <Player Name> into the Order of the Empty Mug and conferred the title Happy Hundredth upon the lucky supplicant!
<div style="background-color:#E0E0E0; border:2px solid #C0C0C0;width:80%;padding:30px;margin-bottom:20px;margin-left:5%;margin-right:10%;">
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ooh, you're a lucky one, and you know why?  You've given me my hundredth stout of the day!  Or close enough, anyway. I stopped counting after about fifty. You actually get to join the Knights of the Empty Mug. Membership confers no bonuses other than a neat title."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Here's a toast to you, kid."
If you get this riddle go over to where the other statue spawns and use the hollow numbered 150.


It will reference the correct hollow in the upcoming patch.

Town Crier

Town Crier tells you, "Due to the recent detente between King Varicci and Queen Elysa, all the realm's town criers share the same news. I applaud our ruler's wisdom for reaching across the Halaetan Straits to make peace with our neighbor, in this time of peril."

Town Crier tells you, "The realm is united! The realm of town criers, that is. In light of improving relations between Queen Elysa and King Varicci, and with the realm riven by mysterious and powerful secret orders, the heraldic guilds have decided to merge, and deliver the news with one voice."

Free Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "A great advancement! Scholars report that they have made a breakthrough and can now cast eighth-level spells! It may not be easy to learn how to cast them yourself, however..."

Town Crier tells you, "There's a newly discovered island to the south of Dereth. Rumors are that it's home to a bunch of Moarsmen, but very few people seem to know how to get there..."

Town Crier tells you, "There's a newly discovered island off the southeastern coast of Dereth, but as yet we don't seem to know how to get there or what lives there."

Town Crier tells you, "The Empyrean Graveyard of the Direlands seems to have... expanded, and the Societies are sending more and more of their scouts through the area. A troublesome development, don't you think?"

Town Crier tells you, "News! There's been a lot of new activity on the Dark Isle. It seems the three Societies are quite interested in that island."

Town Crier tells you, "You've heard of the three new secret societies of Dereth, yes? The Celestial Hand, the Eldrytch Web, and the Radiant Blood have started openly recruiting. They've each sent a recruiter to one of the mainland capital cities. I'd want to visit all three towns to speak to each recruiter and see what they're about."

Town Crier tells you, "It seems even richer loot than ever before is available, but opportunities to get at this inconceivable level of loot seem scarce. I wonder how to get a crack at some of that treasure?"

Town Crier tells you, "Adventurers have come across a new strong castle in the northernmost mountains of Dereth. It's called Northwatch keep, and apparently it is the site of some squabbling between the three new Societies."

Town Crier tells you, "News! A mysterious organization of smugglers and thieves has opened up a couple of black market trading posts. They claim no allegiance to any ruler or society, but they offer their business to whichever society is strong enough to control their local town."

Pyreal Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "Heard about that new island of Moarsmen to the south, eh? I know it's south of the land bridge, but I think you have to be an advanced member of one of the Societies to get there."

Town Crier tells you, "The three new clandestine Societies of Dereth have started recruiting! The Celestial Hand's recruiter is stationed in Hebian-To, the Eldrytch Web's recruiter is in Cragstone, and the Radiant Blood posted their recruiter to Zaikhal."

Town Crier tells you, "Have you heard about Northwatch Castle? It's way up in the wild northern mountains, northeast of Mount Esper. Apparently the three Societies are fighting over who gets to keep it, because whoever owns it gets access to the black market trading post there."

Town Crier tells you, "That newly discovered Freebooter Isle, so I've heard, is home to Moars, Moarsmen, and terrifying armored Sclavus, among other things. There's also some kind of fortress out there that the three Societies keep fighting over. Even more interesting, there's a black market trading post attached to the fortress. Too bad you have to be an advanced member of one of the Societies to get there."

Town Crier tells you, "The Empyrean Graveyard of the Direlands is even busier than ever! The grounds seem to have mysteriously expanded somehow, and new creatures have turned up... But most interesting, the three Societies have their newest acolytes scouring the grounds there for various items."

Town Crier tells you, "The Dark Isle is alight with activity again! The three societies are sending some of their newer recruits on missions to the island to make them prove their worth."

Town Crier tells you, "The Black Market offers some incredible items that only they know how to get at their outposts on Freebooter Isle and in Northwatch Castle. Unfortunately, your Society has to be in control of that location in order to gain access to the Black Market's amazing wares."

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that there's treasure and loot out there bearing even more powerful enchantments than we've ever seen, but it's all locked up in chests... I think the Societies have the best line on getting at that loot, but there are opportunities for the unaligned to get keys as well..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant

Free Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh ho! So the town crier guilds of the mainland and of the Viamontian realm have decided to stop competing with each other, eh? I don't trust consolidation in the media, kid, and neither should you. This is the latest Virindi sneak attempt to turn our brains to applesauce."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You tell me there's even richer loot than we've ever seen, sitting around Dereth locked up in chests? Inconceivable!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Those new spells that everyone's going on about? You can thank me for those. Yep, I decided to finally get off my duff and write out a new set of spells. I know, I know, I'm such a great guy... The kind of great guy who deserves a free mug of stout now and again, I dare say."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh yeah, I'm starting a secret society of my own. It's called the Ancient and Benevolent Knights of the Empty Mug. We quest to empty every mug in Dereth. The Celestial Hand, the Radiant Blood, the Eldrytch Web... those folks are all capable, I'm sure, but not a one of them can outdrink an Empty Mugger. You can curry favor with our society by bringing me a mug of stout to empty."

I almost can't keep track of the new developments, what with the Societies recruiting, the black markets opening, the new islands sprouting up, new spells... My old mind is overheating. A cool mug of stout would sure cool me off. That was a hint, kid."

Stout Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know, right around the time the town crier guilds from the mainland and the Viamontian lands decided to merge, they invited me to join their new organization. I guess they think I'm one of them because I sit here and try to tell it like it is. But I'm not one of them. I speak higher truths. They're all so tediously absorbed in 'reality' and 'truth' and nonsense like that."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I hear there's even more going on at the Graveyard these days. I even heard that the Graveyard's borders have expanded. Pretty scary, isn't it? You wouldn't think that, in a land where everyone's kinda immortal, that mortuaries would be a growth industry."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ah, you've proven yourself worthy to join the Ancient and Benevolent Knights of the Empty Mug. Feel free to go around and tell people that you're a Knight of the Empty Mug. I'd show you our secret handshake, but really it only works when you're blind, stumbling drunk."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Just kidding! Boy, how gullible are you? There's no such secret society! Really, the very idea."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Don't ask me how to get to Freebooter Isle. It actually used to be my vacation home, before I lost the deed in a poker game.

Yeah, my nephew Ardry would be the white sheep, if he weren't spattered with blood and mud all the time."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Why are you so interested in sheep anyway?"

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, "Oh yeah, you'll need a Mana Scarab to cast those fancy new spells. Don't ask me how to get them. Once I invented those new spells, I thought it would be too showy if I went around using them all the time, so I don't even carry a Mana Scarab with me. I am the soul of moderation. Now get me another drink, kid!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Feels like I've been here a hundred years. The actual number is probably closer to 8 or 9 years, but yeah, it feels like a hundred years. I think I'll perk myself up by trying to drink a hundred mugs of stout today. A hundred stouts for a hundred years! Doesn't that sound grand?"

Ulgrim interrupts his quiet conversation and yells, "That's right! A hundred! Who else can say a hundred! No one's got the fortitude I do, to stand up to a hundred beers!"

Grand Masterful Poobah Ulgrim has accepted <Player Name> into the Order of the Empty Mug and conferred the title Happy Hundredth upon the lucky supplicant!

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ooh, you're a lucky one, and you know why? You've given me my hundredth stout of the day! Or close enough, anyway. I stopped counting after about fifty. You actually get to join the Knights of the Empty Mug. Membership confers no bonuses other than a neat title."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Here's a toast to you, kid."
