Discoveries
Town Crier Rumors
Viamontian Town Criers
- Town Crier tells you, "The rebel wench Eleonora thought she could slay the King as she did his brother. Now her heart rests in the dungeons of the Ferran Torturers. Such is the price of defiance."
- Town Crier tells you, "The Fiun on the northern shore of Vanguard Isle have aligned themselves with the rebels of Silyun. Do they truly believe their feeble alliance stands a chance against the power of Sanamar?"
- Town Crier tells you, "Newcomers to Dereth may wish to speak with Elena du Furza or Lorca Sammel. Those two always seem to need some sort of assistance."
- Town Crier tells you, "If you are looking for some sort of task to occupy your time, you would do well to speak with the barkeeper, Vaden."
- Town Crier tells you, "When we first arrived on this land, a great red bull stood atop this plateau. We took that bull's presence as a portent of great things. We quickly established the city of Sanamar."
- Town Crier tells you, "The Bloodless Queen shall soon know the might of Viamont. You would do well to align yourself with our glorious King."
- Town Crier tells you, "If you have an attuned item you no longer need, feel free to donate it to a Town Crier."
- Town Crier tells you, "If you are looking to prove your loyalty to the King, speak with the Grand Knight."
- Town Crier tells you, "Have you spoken to Rand yet? He makes the most incredible brews!"
- Town Crier tells you, "The King has recently perfected his extraction technique on the Fiun. The Eaters will soon be unleashed on the lands of the Bloodless. And when that happens, there will be no stopping the ascension of Viamont!"
- Town Crier tells you, "The Thrungus of the surrounding forests have been stealing from the King's own quarters! If you have some time on your hands, go out and slaughter a few of those vile creatures. Such crimes must not go unpunished."
- Town Crier tells you, "Have you tested your abilities against the maddened Sir Bellas? From time to time, we like to enter his dungeon and torment the crazed rebel. Unfortunately, you have to deal with Fiun Scorus in order to gain access to that dungeon. But it's a small price to pay for such wonderful sport!"
- Town Crier tells you, "The outpost of Westwatch is well-suited for new arrivals. The outpost of Eastwatch serves as a base of operations for only the hardiest of warriors."
- Town Crier tells you, "Need a vassal? I won't ask for much just some tinkered armor and maybe a tinkered weapon. Oh and maybe a few MMD trade notes, or maybe some golem hearts, wasp wings, armoredillo spines, lugian sinews, dark revenant thigh bones, full sturdy iron key rings, full singularity key rings, or anything else that you don't need."
- Town Crier tells you, "Some of the creatures you hunt will drop special items, such as beaks or claws. You would do well to see if the Collector has need of those items."
- Town Crier tells you, "The outpost of Westwatch is well-suited for new arrivals. The outpost of Eastwatch serves as a base of operations for only the hardiest of warriors."
- Town Crier tells you, "Sanamar contains several portals to the cities of the Bloodless. We encourage our citizens to venture into those portals and learn the layout of the rest of Dereth. That information may well prove important to us in time."
- Town Crier tells you, "The Lugians of Geth Tukora met their doom when the King unleashed his Eaters upon them. They still make their homes deep beneath the Isle of Ruin. If you are up to the task, you should venture out there and remind them just who rules the surface of these lands."
- Town Crier tells you, "Surely you can spare more than that. Do I look like a common beggar to you?"
Mainland and Marae Lassel Town Criers
- Town Crier tells you, "As I understand it, King Varicci has declared Sanamar open to all heritages, though his brutish Knights will slay any they come across in the wilds, blue-skin or no."
- Town Crier tells you, "I hope the Queen has a plan. She'll know what do. Won't she?"
- Town Crier tells you, "When the barrier around the Halaetans shattered, there was a crash that knocked me to the ground, and a great wind rushed down from the north. I must confess, I feared it was the second coming of Bael'Zharon."
- Town Crier tells you, "As I understand it, King Varicci has declared Sanamar open to all heritages, though his brutish Knights will slay any they come across in the wilds, blue-skin or no."
- Town Crier tells you, "We town criers owe a debt to Brayden Von Grohl for saving one of our fellows from that vicious Eater attack. Sure, we're all lifestoned, but who wants to meet their end - however temporary - in the belly of an Eater?"
- Town Crier tells you, "The Viamontian raids have been nothing more than exploratory probes up to this point. We thought their attacks scattered and random. But now it appears they were just testing our defenses all along."
- Town Crier tells you, "Zaikhal has long been a center of knowledge and learning in Dereth. If the Viamontians take that city, I fear they will plunder its libraries as they have long plundered the libraries of Tirethas."
- Town Crier tells you, "Where is Asheron when you need him?"
- Town Crier tells you, "The Shadow Lugian threat seems to have dissipated. The Lugians of Linvak Tukal are most grateful for the assistance we gave them. I hear they even presented a special war bow to Queen Elysa as a token of thanks."
- Town Crier tells you, "The rebels of Silyun may be aligned against King Varicci, but they're still just as haughty and imperious as any Viamontian I've ever met."
- Town Crier tells you, "Where did Carlo di Cenza go? Perhaps he went back to the Halaetans to help his fellow rebels in their struggle against Varicci."
- Town Crier tells you, "Antius Blackmoor seeks brave warriors to aid him in the defense of Zaikhal! Seek him out! The fate of our realm is at stake!"
- Town Crier tells you, "As I understand it, the Viamontian Anton Sillezi seeks to create a trade agreement with the merchants of Shoushi, Yaraq, and Holtburg. Is this some underhanded plot of Varicci's, or are the merchants of Sanamar breaking ranks?"
- Town Crier tells you, "At first, I thought the Thrungum were the cutest little guys I'd ever seen. But a faceful of acid certainly cured me of that thought."
- Town Crier tells you, "The portals to the Halaetan islands can be found in Shoushi, Yaraq, and Holtburg. The King of Sanamar allows all heritages to enter Sanamar, though the Queen's Royal Guard are slain on sight."
- Town Crier tells you, "I heard a secret, but it'll cost you more than that."
- Town Crier tells you, "I know what you are thinking. You want to enlist in the Queen's army against the Viamontian threat. I feel the same way. But the Queen has declared that she will not strengthen her forces as of yet. Perhaps she seeks some alternate method of dealing with this foe."
- Town Crier tells you, "Finally, I can make my own beer! If you see Rand, tell him I just love his Amber Ape!"
