Town Crier Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "Another one of Nuhmudira's students is in a tower in Arwic's walls."

Town Crier tells you, "Arwic is quite fortified now! Let those Shadows try again and they shall shatter against the stout walls. I hope. Hmm, can Shadows shatter?"

Town Crier tells you, "Every once in a while snowmen drop coal."

Town Crier tells you, "Have you been to the marketplace yet? I wish I could get stationed there - I bet I'd get great tips."

Town Crier tells you, "I guess those collectors have finally wised up. There's no such thing as a free lunch -if you want rat tails you have to pay people for them!"

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard whispers that a new Virindi construct has been found at the very heart of the Singularity Caul. Is it true? And what heinous acts and atrocities are being committed there."

Town Crier tells you, "I've noticed that the creatures all over Dereth seem to be on the move, almost as though they are trying to get back to where they once lived. Wonder if they'll get there?"

Town Crier tells you, "It's true, there are marble and granite keys. At least that is what I've heard."

Town Crier tells you, "Kids these days.. When I was young, there was no way to change your skills around, and if you were a weakling then you were always a weakling! Kids these days have it too easy."

Town Crier tells you, "My cousin told me about a valley north and east of the Obsidian Plains. He said he saw three eyes towering over the edge of some trees before he ran for his very life. Thundering footsteps pounding behind him, he ran into a group of banderlings he had never seen before and found himself at a lifestone."

Town Crier tells you, "My cousin told me about something happening on that Island that the Virindi took over a while back. Why all the interest in the Islands around Dereth recently?"

Town Crier tells you, "My friend Kayna says that her house has been much busier lately. That's odd, too, because she's way out in the desert east of Samsur."

Town Crier tells you, "Nuhmudira is still doing research into Lifestones. Her students in towns are requesting help. There is also one in Arwic but I already helped her before."

Town Crier tells you, "The valley to the northeast of the Obsidian Plains seems to be inhabited by the most vile creatures of their race. I wouldn't travel through there without many of my closest and most able friends around."
