:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I found a nicely packaged little gift box the other day.  I was tempted to open it, but I resisted the temptation. The last time I opened up a strange gift that some stranger had left for me, I ended up on this godforsaken world."</font><br>
{{Dialog|
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No, wait, that's how I ended up naked and penniless in Canfield with a big bruise on my forehead. I ended up here because I drunkenly stumbled into a portal, thinking it was a clever new kind of outhouse."</font><br><br>
|Town Crier tells you, "Is winter here yet? I mean, people are giving each other presents, but there's no snow yet... Is it because of the ley lines?"


:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I went out to Snowhaven the other day.  I magnanimously tried to share some stout with one of the snowmen out there, but he just kind of melted into a puddle of stouty goo.  Those snowfolk, just can't hold their liquor."</font><br><br>
|Town Crier tells you, "News! Some particularly rare and vicious beasts have been reported in the vicinity of Freebooter Isle and the Moarsman Island."


:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's a time for giving and I hear someone has left giant gift boxes around Dereth. Mine was full of ale."</font><br>

:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Of course it only lasted me a day."</font><br><br>
|Town Crier tells you, "The holiday season is a time for presents and giant well wrapped boxes containing presents."


:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "New, more powerful throwing phials?  Bad idea. It's hazardous enough with the phials people already carry around. Ever seen a bar fight when some phial-flinging macehead falls on his drunken behind?  I've gotten very practiced at using my mug to cover my pretty face, when the shards of glass go flying."</font><br><br>
|Town Crier tells you, "There is word from knowledgeable sources that the vile Falatacot Patriarchs serving T'thuun are planning something big..."


:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh ho, so there are supposed to be rare monsters stalking the societies' private hunting reserves, eh?  You know what that is?  It's a scam to keep people from wanting to visit there!  Just like how I tell everyone how terrible Berkholt's stout is, so there'll be more for me."</font><br>
''Pyreal Rumors''
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oops. Berkholt didn't hear that, did he?"</font><br><br>
|Town Crier tells you, "A close family friend of mine discovered some giant gift on his way to visit me for the holiday season. I wonder if there are more gifts around Dereth?"


:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, winter is my favorite time of year... Especially that magical night when good little boys and girls get delivered a gift of sausage by - no, wait, that's not it, I'm thinking of the wrong holiday."</font><br><br>
|Town Crier tells you, "Activity has picked up in the snowfolk village of Frosthaven again, even though the first winter snow has not yet arrived. Everything's out of sorts in Dereth! Won't someone fix the ley lines?"


:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "T'thuun's coming!  Bring it on!  I'm tired of running from him!  He can send whatever kind of patriarch goons he wants to collect my gambling debts!  I still say that match I bet on was rigged!  Never trust an archdemon to honestly promote a fight."</font><br><br>
|Town Crier tells you, "Have you heard? Alchemists are now able to create a newer, more powerful set of mana phials for use in combat. Speak with Janier al-Evv in the Arcanum compound near Xarabydun for more information."

|Town Crier tells you, "Scholars have commented that the movement of stars and the resonance of the ley lines points to some kind of major convergence of powers... Will the servants of T'thuun do something disastrous? We must all be vigilant..."


=== New [[Quests]] ===
|Town Crier tells you, "The new entertainment to be found at Sanamar is a monster arena! Place bets on fierce Derethian and non-Derethian wildlife as they fight to the death!"
==== [[Hidden Presents]] ====
:Locate 12 [[Gift Box|Gift Boxes]] hidden around Dereth for special gifts including [[Ancient Mhoire Coin]]s, [[Small Olthoi Venom Sac]]s, [[Colosseum Coin]]s, [[Grand Casino Key]]s and [[Mana Forge Key]]s. Find all twelve to earn a [[Pet Polar Ursuin Cub]]. More details [[Hidden Presents|here]].


==== [[Monster Fights]] ====
|Town Crier tells you, "Word is that the societies have taken particular interest in the powerful and elusive new creatures stalking Freebooter Isle and Moarsman Island. They may have set their recruits to hunting them. If you do belong to a society, wink wink nudge nudge, you may want to see about the rewards."
:Wager 5 [[MMD]] on the combatant of your choice in a free-for-all cage match just outside [[Sanamar]] for the chance at a [[Grand Casino Key]]. More details [[Monster Fights|here]].


==== [[Rare Island Trophies]] ====
'''Ulgrim the Unpleasant'''
:Collect rare trophies on [[Freebooter Isle]] and [[Moarsman City]] for the [[Factions]]. More details [[Rare Island Trophies|here]].


==== Live Events ====
''Free Rumors''
* [[12/11/08 - All Servers - Blight Summoner]] <font color=red>(one time only)</font>
* [[12/12/08 - All Servers - Summoning Ritual of T'thuun]] <font color=red>(one time only)</font>
* [[12/19/08 - All Servers - Dereth's Elite]] <font color=green>(continuing every Friday Night on a timer)</font>


<b> The Timed Events are occurring every Friday night after 8 pm. There will be a portal opening in [[Eastham]] and a global when the event occurs. The time differs from server to server based on the time at which the first event was triggered. Also the amount of time it takes to kill the bosses pushes the time back a little every week.</b>
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ayup, some kind of reckoning with that primitive demon is coming. Can't you feel the tension in the air?  Can't you hear the thrum of power coursing through the ley lines of Dereth?  Can't you taste the stink of catastrophic magic, building in the dark corners of the world?  Can't you smell the stink of dirty socks?"


Remember if you have already gotten the reward with a character this month that you cannot receive another reward with that same character. There is no level restriction on the portal or the NPC giving the rewards so you can even run a mule to the Eastham portal, whoever, be warned that you have to jump down a cliff to get to the reward NPC. This might be deadly to an overburdened mule so drop weight and get bludgeoning protection 7 cast on you. The mule may get crap xp because its percent based but you will get the 3 use Mana Forge Key and the pack doll.
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I, for one, welcome the new global warming that's come along with the higgledy-piggledy in the ley lines.  Let T'thuun and his gang of redheaded stepchildren keep widdling into the mana pool, as long as it keeps my robe from freezing to the ground again.  Of course, if they start messing with the stout supply, then I'll have to go and kick some tentacle butt."


* 1/9/09 - All Servers - [[T'Thuun's Marauders]] reactivated, T'thuun's Summoning event restarted
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'd go to Sanamar myself to bet on some of those monster fights, but there's a dangerous stout oversupply that is threatening the economic foundations of this town, and someone's got to suck a few up for the team."
On  1/9/09 Turbine reactivated the [[T'Thuun's Marauders]] quest for a special one night event. The raiders first returned to Tou-Tou, the Isle of Tears, and the Menhir Ring in Southern Osteth. They appeared at the other sites at an accelerated rate.
:<font color=green>A whisper carried on the wind catches your ear.
:"We are the Patriarchs of T'thuun. Do not interfere with our scouts or we will bring His wrath down upon your cities."</font>
The Summoning of T'thuun special timed event was also restarted this night, so the event would be occuring in the evening again and not on monday mornings. [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=41151 More information here]


==== Seasonal Quests ====
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, so the alchemists have made even more powerful throwing phials, eh?  Am I the only one who thinks it's a very bad idea to have even more destructive phials in the hands of people who aren't properly trained in the art of thrown weapons?"
* [[Harvest Reaper]]s, [[Pumpkin Lord]]s, [[Scarecrow]]s, and [[Old Gravestone]]s can still be found appearing on the landscape.
* The festival decorations and NPCs in Glenden Wood, including the [[Majestic Pumpkin]], are now gone. They were available only briefly after the patch went live. This means that, even though players can still find and kill Harvest Reapers, Pumpkin Lords, and Old Zombies, they cannot complete the quests because the NPCs are now missing.
* [[Undead Attack on Al-Jalima]] has also ceased. Like the festival stuff in Glenden Wood, it was still available briefly when the patch first went live.

Town Crier

Free Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "Is winter here yet? I mean, people are giving each other presents, but there's no snow yet... Is it because of the ley lines?"

Town Crier tells you, "News! Some particularly rare and vicious beasts have been reported in the vicinity of Freebooter Isle and the Moarsman Island."

Town Crier tells you, "News! The proprietors of the casinos have opened up a new gaming den! Go to Sanamar to see the exciting new game"

Town Crier tells you, "The holiday season is a time for presents and giant well wrapped boxes containing presents."

Town Crier tells you, "There is word from knowledgeable sources that the vile Falatacot Patriarchs serving T'thuun are planning something big..."

Pyreal Rumors

Town Crier tells you, "A close family friend of mine discovered some giant gift on his way to visit me for the holiday season. I wonder if there are more gifts around Dereth?"

Town Crier tells you, "Activity has picked up in the snowfolk village of Frosthaven again, even though the first winter snow has not yet arrived. Everything's out of sorts in Dereth! Won't someone fix the ley lines?"

Town Crier tells you, "Have you heard? Alchemists are now able to create a newer, more powerful set of mana phials for use in combat. Speak with Janier al-Evv in the Arcanum compound near Xarabydun for more information."

Town Crier tells you, "Scholars have commented that the movement of stars and the resonance of the ley lines points to some kind of major convergence of powers... Will the servants of T'thuun do something disastrous? We must all be vigilant..."

Town Crier tells you, "The new entertainment to be found at Sanamar is a monster arena! Place bets on fierce Derethian and non-Derethian wildlife as they fight to the death!"

Town Crier tells you, "Word is that the societies have taken particular interest in the powerful and elusive new creatures stalking Freebooter Isle and Moarsman Island. They may have set their recruits to hunting them. If you do belong to a society, wink wink nudge nudge, you may want to see about the rewards."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant

Free Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ayup, some kind of reckoning with that primitive demon is coming. Can't you feel the tension in the air? Can't you hear the thrum of power coursing through the ley lines of Dereth? Can't you taste the stink of catastrophic magic, building in the dark corners of the world? Can't you smell the stink of dirty socks?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I, for one, welcome the new global warming that's come along with the higgledy-piggledy in the ley lines. Let T'thuun and his gang of redheaded stepchildren keep widdling into the mana pool, as long as it keeps my robe from freezing to the ground again. Of course, if they start messing with the stout supply, then I'll have to go and kick some tentacle butt."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I'd go to Sanamar myself to bet on some of those monster fights, but there's a dangerous stout oversupply that is threatening the economic foundations of this town, and someone's got to suck a few up for the team."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, so the alchemists have made even more powerful throwing phials, eh? Am I the only one who thinks it's a very bad idea to have even more destructive phials in the hands of people who aren't properly trained in the art of thrown weapons?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The only giant gift box I want would be full of ale!"

Stout Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Easy guys, I drink my stout just like the rest of you - one sip at a time. Except, once my mug's empty, I make gold gromnies."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I found a nicely packaged little gift box the other day. I was tempted to open it, but I resisted the temptation. The last time I opened up a strange gift that some stranger had left for me, I ended up on this godforsaken world."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No, wait, that's how I ended up naked and penniless in Canfield with a big bruise on my forehead. I ended up here because I drunkenly stumbled into a portal, thinking it was a clever new kind of outhouse."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I went out to Snowhaven the other day. I magnanimously tried to share some stout with one of the snowmen out there, but he just kind of melted into a puddle of stouty goo. Those snowfolk, just can't hold their liquor."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's a time for giving and I hear someone has left giant gift boxes around Dereth. Mine was full of ale."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Of course it only lasted me a day."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "New, more powerful throwing phials? Bad idea. It's hazardous enough with the phials people already carry around. Ever seen a bar fight when some phial-flinging macehead falls on his drunken behind? I've gotten very practiced at using my mug to cover my pretty face, when the shards of glass go flying."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh ho, so there are supposed to be rare monsters stalking the societies' private hunting reserves, eh? You know what that is? It's a scam to keep people from wanting to visit there! Just like how I tell everyone how terrible Berkholt's stout is, so there'll be more for me."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oops. Berkholt didn't hear that, did he?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, winter is my favorite time of year... Especially that magical night when good little boys and girls get delivered a gift of sausage by - no, wait, that's not it, I'm thinking of the wrong holiday."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "T'thuun's coming! Bring it on! I'm tired of running from him! He can send whatever kind of patriarch goons he wants to collect my gambling debts! I still say that match I bet on was rigged! Never trust an archdemon to honestly promote a fight."
