|Town Crier tells you, "Summoning Essences can be purchased in Holtburg, Shoushi, Yaraq or Sanamar, or can be found in the wilds."

'''Ulgrim the Unpleasant'''

''Free Rumors''

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Finally, I just might be able to teach one of those golems to keep my tankard full of stout."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Why would I need to do that? Oh I don't know..."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Maybe because my usual sources have been pretty lacking lately."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Did you get that? I don't think you did because I don't see a stout going from your hand to mine."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "People are running around everywhere to create new suits of armor."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Or is it a step to them regaining power over all of these lands?"
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I know I'd be safe, but what about you?"

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've had a full set of Mystical gear for years now."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh you think Legendarys are good? You have no idea..."


|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Necromancers, Primalists, Naturalists; what is this world coming to?"
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Warriors can no longer fight for themselves?"
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'd rather summon Pancake Golems."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Nothing goes better with a good stout than a stack of pancakes."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That's a hint since clearly you aren't good at figuring those out."
