Town Crier Rumors
- Town Crier tells you, "Bold adventurers have slain the leaders of the Gelidite Cult! The ancient corpses of the undead Lords Frisander, Fenngar, Ferundi, and Frisirith now lie broken in the halls of the Lost City of Frore."
- Town Crier tells you, "The Great Work of the Gelidite Cult has been shattered by intrepid explorers! With this fiendish magical artifact destroyed, the world has warmed again, and the snows have receded. I also accept money, if you want more news."
- Town Crier tells you, "The Hoary Mattekar that were discovered in the mountains north of Neydissa Castle appear to have been hunted to extinction by overzealous adventurers. Who knows if Dereth shall see the likes of those magnificent creatures again?"
