- Town Crier tells you, "Is snow still on the ground? By Asheron's bristly beard, it's been a long winter."
- Town Crier tells you, "It seems the Renegade Tumeroks have become agitated lately... Rumor is that they have found ways to fortify their weapons."
- Town Crier tells you, "My cousin dug out his old Noble Robe, said he was going out to get it specially tailored. I wonder what he meant by that?"

- Town Crier tells you, "Rand the Game Hunter has updated his bounty list!"
- Town Crier tells you, "The Dereth Explorers' society has marked ten more locations around the island! Seek them out, if you've got the legs for it!"
Pyreal Rumors

- Town Crier tells you, "I have heard that the specialty merchants at the Colosseum, Olthoi infestation, and the Mhoire Graveyard have kits to upgrade Noble Robes with."
- Town Crier tells you, "If you are a member of a secret society, you may wish to head to your vault and see if there are officers with new orders for you."
- Town Crier tells you, "Is it true? Have the renegade Virindi renewed their old alliances? There is a scholar named Aruq ibn Balthar in Zaikhal who spreads such tales."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant
Free Rumors
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I tell you kid, I can smell it on the air. Can't you? The smell of applesauce. It smells like terror."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No, I don't need to go to one of those godforsaken outposts and get a robe enhancing kit. I'm already wearing the highest grade of Enstoutened Robe possible."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That being said, I'm always game to push the boundaries. Bring me a stout, kid."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Of course I noticed that my war spells hit harder! I can also knock over a spittoon from two feet further away now! Must be something in the stout..."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, goody goody, Rand's updated his tag list to send people after Lugians, because there wasn't already enough trouble brewing with those big brutes..."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, I think I'm having another one of my visions... Virindi and Tumeroks and Lugians, oh my!"
Stout Rumors
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Don't crowd too close to me kid. The last person who got too close to me ended up spilling a little stout on my robe, and, well, they had to fish him out of the bushes behind Claude's tent. After he landed."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'm sorry, you want me to go to which tropical hellhole island and harvest what now? No, I think I'll stay here and enjoy my stout. I hate the tropics. Mosquitoes sucking the blood out me remind me uncomfortably of myself with a mug of stout."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Is it just me, or do you hear a quiet chuckling coming from Claude's tent? Oh, I hate those Virindi. With the smug looks on their faces..."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Mark my word, kid. Pack your stuff and go. When the Virindi roll back into town, they will spare no man, woman, or purple-cheeked Tusker."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "My pappy always used to say that courage, compassion and loyalty are the keys to getting your heart's desire. But, I figured out an easier way. Sometimes you just have to ask. So here goes."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Friend, can you spare a stout?"
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh boy, winter stuck around a little longer this year, huh? Well, at least Berkholt keeps the stout nice and tepid."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So you heard it too, eh? Virindi moved in on Mar'uun? That's not a bad omen or anything."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Sometimes you people forget... I'm not trapped on this island with you... You're trapped on this island with me."
- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'm sorry, what was I saying? Hurm."
