* [[Jester Released]]
 
'''Mainland Town Criers'''
 
''Free Rumors'':
<font color=darkgoldenrod>
:Town Crier tells you, "There's a scholar in Zaikhal who is looking for information on Lord Rytheran of Dericost."
 
:Town Crier tells you, "Can it be?  Has the Tanada House of Pancakes re-opened its doors?"
 
:Town Crier tells you, "Looks like spring has come early this year!  I have to say, it's quite a relief.  Firewood is getting so expensive these days!"
 
:Town Crier tells you, "I heard a sad story the other day of a lover lost and a maiden's ghost who forever walks the land looking for him."
 
:Town Crier tells you, "It sure is a relief that Aerbax's awful plans have been defeated!  One wonders what danger threatens the realm next..."</font>
 
''Pyreal Rumors'':
<font color=darkgoldenrod>

:Town Crier tells you, "I have heard of a ghostly woman in white who wanders the Graveyard by day and sobbing. It's probably just a story though."
 
:Town Crier tells you, "Word is that the ley lines of Dereth, the paths of magical energy across the realm, have been disturbed by some cataclysmic shakeup.  What was the word Aliester the Loquacious used?  Oh yes.  'Higgledy-piggledy.'"</font>

=== [[Ulgrim]] Rumors ===
 
''Free Rumors'':
<font color=darkgoldenrod>
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I don't trust ghosts. Never have. Why just the other day this ghost comes up to me and asks if I've seen her husband. I could see right through her trickery. Heck, I could see right through her. She was looking for a husband to bring to her grave. I'm not falling for that one."
 
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "There's a what in the graveyard now?  A jester?  I'll believe it when I see it.  And if you get me a pint, kid, I'll be that much closer to being able to see your imaginary jester friend."
 
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Spring's come, hasn't it?  That's great.  My winter britches were getting a little gamey, if you know what I mean.  Now it's commando season!"
 
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Of course it was me who defeated Aerbax!  Haven't you realized by now that I'm the best in the world at smacking around Virindi?  I think that earned me a pint of stout, don't you?"<br>
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That was a hint, kid."
 
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Tanada House of Pancakes?  Oh no, you won't find me there.  They don't cook the bacon the way I like.  Come to think of it, when's the last time I had a proper piece of bacon?  Not since Ispar..."<br>
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Dang it!  Did no one think to bring pigs to Dereth?"</font>
 
''Stout Rumors'':
<font color=darkgoldenrod>
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Here, roll these three dice six times.  That's right, we're rolling one out for my old pal Gygax the Gamer.  Known him since our days at university on Ispar.  We spent a lot of late nights together working on a funny little game.  Figured we'd revolutionize the world with it.  I kinda feel like I wouldn't be here without him."
 
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh yes, of course, the jester in the graveyard!  A tragic story.  He told a joke that was so funny, it killed everyone, including him.  As it happens, I know the joke."<br>
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No, I won't tell you.  What are you, crazy?"
 
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The snows have receded, the baby animals are back, and the snowmen have gone away again.  Oh, I hated the snowmen, with their beady black eyes, and the smug looks on their faces!"
 
:Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Sure, Aerbax is in retreat, but I just know he'll be back to cause trouble in a few hundred years... Mark my words."</font>

=== [[Known Issues]] ===
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Sure, Aerbax is in retreat, but I just know he'll be back to cause trouble in a few hundred years... Mark my words."
* House of Pancakes quest broken - Gladys is not portalling players as she used to. ''I just confirmed that the problem with THOP is due to how the spell is being targeted. It would appear that more stringency is required now than when the quest was released last year, but I'll need to verify this with Severlin. However, for the time being, the quest does break about halfway through, and will probably be closed for the year. Sorry, folks. -  Lupus Argenteus AC1 Data Integrator'' [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=38169]
*Aerbax's popping back to full health bug still exists despite the fix for it.
*Those who were in the first group to kill Aerbax are not getting the girth when talking to the Emissary, unlike those not in the first group who have beaten Aerbax.
*The Jester Trap (that act much like Rolling Balls of Death) in the hallway in the Jester's dungeon become invisible to players under certain circumstances. This makes them impossible to avoid and makes it difficult getting through the hallway. Related to this behavior, a person running along the wall in a sliding fashion causes them to stick for a second then explode without harming the player. After exploding the player unsticks and continues sliding.
*After being rewarded with xp from Laylana (not freeing the jester), it's still possible to continue down and get the Dark Scarab, though not the war spell.
*Some people have gotten repeat rewards on Aerbax's Citadel (two helms). Supposedly the rewards issues will all be fixed in the April patch ([http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showpost.php?p=399051&postcount=4 Link]).
