=== [[Town Crier]] Rumors ===
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "Are you able to recall to the Singularity Caul? If you are, you might consider yourself lucky. I've heard that the island has become much more deadly. What can it all mean?"</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "Have you been to the island that the Virindi invaded a few years back? No? Well from everything that I have been hearing, the Virindi have fled, and something else has taken their place. Something...not very nice."</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "I'll never get to that island in the southwest now. Why do I have to stand here and never hunt?"</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "I'm thinking that the island in the southwest is a diversion or something. But don't quote me on that. I've been parked here for over four years, and though I may talk about taking myself out into the wilderness to hunt, I think that we all know that I am more suited toward the art of talking more than fighting."</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that a great warrior lost his way in the wilderness. I've also heard tell that he found his way again. It's said that his journey began in a place that bore two names."</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that an enigmatic sage has moved onto a mountaintop outside of Kara. I wonder if there is any truth to it?"</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that Ecorto has been a little more talkative than usual."</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "I've heard that the Virindi have reinforced their hold on the dungeon that leads to the Singularity Caul. Why would they do that?"</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "If you're looking for the bracelet that Nuhmudira needed while trying to face down the Olthoi Queen, don't bother with the Singularity Caul. I've been told that the portal is now located on the Obsidian Plains. What caused that to happen?"</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier Tells You " It Blew up! Huge columns of smoke blew into the sky and dropped hot ash from miles around....and....Okay...It didn't really "Blow Up" it just kind of Imploded"</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "It sat beneath the cover of brush. Stone still, until I approached, then it lunged at me, screaming and taunting me! I nearly died! What was it, you ask? I'm not certain, but it was terrifying!"</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "My little sister tells me that on her recent travels through the Shoushi she ran across several encampments of creatures guarding runed chests. I wonder what's going on?"</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "My brother said he was standing on the coast south of Ayan Baqur when a bright flash of light rose from the horizon followed by a billowing black cloud. He wasn't close enough to be harmed by it, but I wonder what occurred in the ocean down there."</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "Rumors are pouring in the the Singularity Caul has been transformed. If the things that I have been hearing are true, portals disappeared and reappeared here on Dereth, the Virindi have shored up the access way with much stronger residents...but...they fled the island. Are they trying to keep whatever is there hidden?"</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "The undead seem to be armoring up. For as old as it is, their armor appears to have held remarkably well through the ages."</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "They say in the Sho city that's rumored to have been an Aluvian settlement a great warrior removed his armor and left to find himself again."</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "Yes, it's true. We saved all of those pyreals that you've been handing to us for years and we finally had enough to buy ourselves a little slice of the world. Now we just need to get more people to take notice. Think you can give us a hand?"</font><br>

Town Crier

Town Crier tells you, "Are you able to recall to the Singularity Caul? If you are, you might consider yourself lucky. I've heard that the island has become much more deadly. What can it all mean?"

Town Crier tells you, "Have you been to the island that the Virindi invaded a few years back? No? Well from everything that I have been hearing, the Virindi have fled, and something else has taken their place. Something...not very nice."

Town Crier tells you, "I'll never get to that island in the southwest now. Why do I have to stand here and never hunt?"

Town Crier tells you, "I'm thinking that the island in the southwest is a diversion or something. But don't quote me on that. I've been parked here for over four years, and though I may talk about taking myself out into the wilderness to hunt, I think that we all know that I am more suited toward the art of talking more than fighting."

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that a great warrior lost his way in the wilderness. I've also heard tell that he found his way again. It's said that his journey began in a place that bore two names."

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that an enigmatic sage has moved onto a mountaintop outside of Kara. I wonder if there is any truth to it?"

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard tell that Ecorto has been a little more talkative than usual."

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard that the Virindi have reinforced their hold on the dungeon that leads to the Singularity Caul. Why would they do that?"

Town Crier tells you, "If you're looking for the bracelet that Nuhmudira needed while trying to face down the Olthoi Queen, don't bother with the Singularity Caul. I've been told that the portal is now located on the Obsidian Plains. What caused that to happen?"

Town Crier Tells You " It Blew up! Huge columns of smoke blew into the sky and dropped hot ash from miles around....and....Okay...It didn't really "Blow Up" it just kind of Imploded"

Town Crier tells you, "It sat beneath the cover of brush. Stone still, until I approached, then it lunged at me, screaming and taunting me! I nearly died! What was it, you ask? I'm not certain, but it was terrifying!"

Town Crier tells you, "My little sister tells me that on her recent travels through the Shoushi she ran across several encampments of creatures guarding runed chests. I wonder what's going on?"

Town Crier tells you, "My brother said he was standing on the coast south of Ayan Baqur when a bright flash of light rose from the horizon followed by a billowing black cloud. He wasn't close enough to be harmed by it, but I wonder what occurred in the ocean down there."

Town Crier tells you, "Rumors are pouring in the the Singularity Caul has been transformed. If the things that I have been hearing are true, portals disappeared and reappeared here on Dereth, the Virindi have shored up the access way with much stronger residents...but...they fled the island. Are they trying to keep whatever is there hidden?"

Town Crier tells you, "The undead seem to be armoring up. For as old as it is, their armor appears to have held remarkably well through the ages."

Town Crier tells you, "They say in the Sho city that's rumored to have been an Aluvian settlement a great warrior removed his armor and left to find himself again."

Town Crier tells you, "Yes, it's true. We saved all of those pyreals that you've been handing to us for years and we finally had enough to buy ourselves a little slice of the world. Now we just need to get more people to take notice. Think you can give us a hand?"
