| Altar of T'thuun
Atop one of the high cliffs overlooking Mayoi, Nithruvis the Cruel stood with arms crossed. Here in charge of a scouting party, he had left his followers and servants behind to spend a few moments in solitude, considering the land before them.

He looked over the hills, the sea, and the little valley in which the human town had been built. He let his thoughts wander to the days when all this land, the whole wartorn island of Dereth, had been ruled by his people, the watchers and witches of the Falatacot.  The domains of the Falatacot had been wiped away by war, cataclysm, and climactic change thousands of years ago, the lands re-settled by their cousins and then re-settled by a seemingly endless supply of squalling, fearful, fragile humans. It was enough to make Nithruvis sick with rage at all that had been stolen from his people.

He closed his eyes and let his thoughts wander back through the ancient memory that he and other powerfully blessed Falatacot shared.  Even as his eyes surveyed the sandy cliffs and sloping grassy hills of this region, he could see within his mind the verdant jungle that had once stood here.  Though he gazed upon the wooden hovels of the human interlopers, he could still see the glorious stone temples that his people had once raised.  When he sniffed the air, he could smell the bread and meats in the cookfires of the human settlement mixing with the heady smell of the sacred herbs and living flesh that his people had sacrificed to their dark gods, millennia ago…

He was broken from his reverie by an excited shout from the valley below, where all his followers were still searching for something… To his ears, it sounded like they’d found something, possibly the thing that he and his counterparts around had been scouring all of Dereth for.  Soon enough, as expected, his chief messenger Ssissanak came dutifully trotting up the hill.  Nithruvis kept his eyes closed, listening to the Sclavus’s labored breath wheezing through the metal faceplate it wore over its snake-shaped head.

“Commander,” the snake hissed, “the scouts have recovered this.  We think it is the stone you seek.”  Bending low in reverence, the Sclavus presented him with a chunk of iridescent stone, glowing faintly in the light of dusk.  It still had clumps of mud clinging to it, but the power present within the stone could not be concealed by mere dirt.

Nithruvis held the hunk of stone close to his face, examining its every feature and facet.  He ran his long, elegant fingers over its oddly smooth surface, delighting in the tingle of magic he felt from it.  He sniffed it and found something familiar and comforting in it.  Finally comforted, he smiled softly and looked down at the Sclavus, who took a wary step back.  Ssissanak was well familiar with this infamous Falatacot noble’s vicious mood changes, and he could not tell if Nithruvis was genuinely pleased with the piece of stone or if he was merely taking pre-emptive pleasure in yet another outburst of sadism.

'''Town Crier'''
{{Dialog|
''Free Rumors''


|Town Crier tells you, "Another festival season, another offering from Dereth's mask makers... I wonder what the fashion will be this year?"


“It will serve,” Nithruvis told the messenger curtly.  “Dispatch four messages for me.  Tell my masters, the Patriarchs, that I have chosen this location for a base.  Inform my three fellow commanders of the choice we have made.  Direct the sorcerers to re-route the fortress accordingly.  And tell the taskmasters that the time is upon us, and they must open the breeding pens and the dungeons to assemble a raiding party.  Quickly, now.”
|Town Crier tells you, "Festival season is upon us! The leaves are turning, the weather is cooling, and of course the pumpkins have taken over Glenden Wood."


Ssissanak bowed quickly and hurried off to make all the necessary arrangements.  As he joined the crowd below, another one of Nithruvis’ retinue came trotting up the hill.  This time it was the herald, Dhissikh.
|Town Crier tells you, "News! The proprietors of the casinos have opened up a new gaming den! Go to Sanamar to see the exciting new game!"


|Town Crier tells you, "News! The six ley line pyramids that Asheron cleansed are active again! More powerful monsters found, new rewards offered by Asheron! Go visit the six sites to see!"


“Master, is it true?” the smaller snake asked him.  “We found the stones of the summoning circle?”
|Town Crier tells you, "News! The young Deru trees of Marae Lassel are under attack by some infestation sent by T'thuun!"


|Town Crier tells you, "News! Those vile patriarchs that T'thuun raised up are scouring all Dereth for mysterious objects."


Nithruvis nodded.  “We have found the site of one of the great temples of our lost age.  As the Wheel of All Things brings destruction and renewal, so will we gather up the bones of that which was destroyed and infuse them with the blood of that which still lives.  We will complete the circle once more, and so raise the temple to serve our lord once more…”
''Pyreal Rumors''


|Town Crier tells you, "Dereth's mask makers have rolled out their new designs, and they are quite impressive!  Be on the alert for snake hides, they can be made into particularly impressive trophies..."


The insolent herald interrupted him.  “But it is a new lord!  A different lord!  The Matriarchs did not speak of T’thuun with kindness or fondness!  Master, I ask you again to reconsider your allegiance to these upjumped Patriarchs!  They are ignorant of the Lore of Blood and Bone, and do not know the Old Ways! By turning our backs on the Matriarchs, we risk our very --”
|Town Crier tells you, "Happy festival season!  Enjoy the treats from the festival merchants, and enjoy the anniversary celebration!"


|Town Crier tells you, "It's true, the three young Deru trees of Marae Lassel are in a precarious state, being threatened by the demon T'thuun's corrupting touch.  Dire consequences for us all if they were to be engulfed.  Seek out Aun Kimintari in Timaru if you can help."


Whatever else Dhissikh meant to say was lost when Nithruvis spun and grabbed his throat with one large, strong hand.  The ancient noble lifted the small, struggling Sclavus into the air and shook him like a rag doll.
|Town Crier tells you, "Not only are Pristine Mana Shards more common in wilderness hunting now, but also the keys you could get from trading them in now open a wider range of chests."


|Town Crier tells you, "That's right, there are more powerful creatures hidden in lairs underneath those pyramids. Asheron has established a gatestone at each that allows adventurers into the hidden lairs, but beware! It is not an easily repeated passage."
|Town Crier tells you, "Visit the pyramids in the Halaetan Islands, A'mun Desert, Linvak Mountains, Esper Mountains, Obsidian Plain, or Aerlinthe Island to see."


“The Old Ways are lost! The Matriarchs failed us and their hoary hidden masters failed us!  It is time we turned to a new power to reclaim what is rightfully ours!  Your prattling about loyalty to those who have failed us, over and over again, has grown tiring, little snake. You are a slave!  A creature entirely of our creation!  It is not for you or the rest of your simple-minded brood to question my judgment or the judgment of the Patriarchs. To speak as you have spoken about the Lord of the Creeping Blight is blasphemy.”
|Town Crier tells you, "T'thuun's Patriarchs are raiding all over Dereth! Have you seen them and their awful minions here yet? There must be some method to their madness..."


'''Ulgrim the Unpleasant'''


Dhissikh hissed and gurgled protest as Nithruvis tightened his grasp.  Finally, there was a crack and a final long hiss, and the little herald stopped struggling.  Nithruvis looked over his shoulder.  Down in the valley, all his servants had seen this confrontation, and the price Dhissikh paid for his insolence and presumption.  He sneered at them and flung the small, reptilian corpse into the sea.  Laughing in wicked pleasure, Nithruvis wiped his hands and started walking down the hill to rejoin his newly chastened minions.

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Patriarchs?  Where?  Don't try and scare me like that, kid.  Yeah, their raids are pretty scary.  I'm afraid they may be after my secret stash of stout.  No, wait, I don't have a secret stash, because I drink it all as it comes in.  But if I did have one, I'd be pretty afraid of the Patriarchs taking it."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I had no idea that they were needed for these mana forge contraptions so I just gave them to my little Merwart friends, who like to bash them into powder and sprinkle them on food. I think it keeps their teeth and coats shiny... Or was I thinking of something else?"

<font color=green>You give Ulgrim the Unpleasant Stout.</font><br>
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Does it strike you as unseemly that Asheron has given over all the node-cleansing work at those six pyramids to we frail humans?  I thought that was his specialty, defeating archdemons with the power of the light and whatnot.  I think Asheron's getting lazy in his old age."
<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Happy ninth anniversary!  Ninth anniversary of what?  You can't mean that.  The ninth anniversary of my presence on this benighted island, of course.  And, you know, humanity's freedom from Olthoi enslavement and things like that."</font><br>

Woowee, what a mess."</font><br>

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I saw Claude wander past the other day, wearing one of those new masks.  Seeing that disembodied snake head dangling above the floating, cloaked void of a Virindi body is almost enough to put one off the drink.  Almost."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Something even juicier's been lurking underneath those six ley node pyramids, eh? Fascinating... I could have cleaned those tunnels out, if there had been enough stout in it for me. Blighted Mana shards aren't really what gets me going."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Everybody's on the hunt for those Pristine Mana Shards! I haven't had the heart to tell anyone that I found a great big chest full of those things on my last visit to Vissidal Island."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I had no idea that they were needed for these mana forge contraptions so I just gave them to my little Merwart friends, who like to bash them into powder and sprinkle them on food. I think it keeps their teeth and coats shiny... Or was I thinking of something else?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Seen the masks from this festival season? Scary! Intimidating! They'll haunt my dreams! While I'm sober, that is."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That was a hint to get me some stout, kid."

Stout Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Does it strike you as unseemly that Asheron has given over all the node-cleansing work at those six pyramids to we frail humans? I thought that was his specialty, defeating archdemons with the power of the light and whatnot. I think Asheron's getting lazy in his old age."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Fall has come! See the leaves turn, see the pumpkins sprout around Glenden Wood, see the kids wandering past on their way to the disco... Eh, what was that?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Happy ninth anniversary! Ninth anniversary of what? You can't mean that. The ninth anniversary of my presence on this benighted island, of course. And, you know, humanity's freedom from Olthoi enslavement and things like that."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I do love the turn of the seasons. Cider's particularly tempting this time of year. And if I were the sort of sot who drank cider, I'd be particularly tempted to have some. Bring me more stout!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I saw Claude wander past the other day, wearing one of those new masks. Seeing that disembodied snake head dangling above the floating, cloaked void of a Virindi body is almost enough to put one off the drink. Almost."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, a cool mug of delicious stout, how kind of you..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hey, there was a Pristine Mana Shard in here! What luck!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No, of course I was kidding. There wasn't any Pristine Mana Shard in my stout, that would just be unbelievable. Actually it was a whole Mana Forge Key."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, the Deru Trees this, and the Deru Trees that. Dang Deru Trees, always fainting and wilting as soon as a ravening archdemon with acid for blood and a heart full of rot starts gnawing on their roots... what a bunch of nervous nellies!"
