''Pyreal Rumors:''
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "Another of Asheron's Emissaries has been sighted just south of Cragstone.  In all my time on Dereth, I've never seen Asheron so active.  Dark times ahead, I tell you."</font><br>

=== [[Ulgrim]] Rumors ===
 
''Free Rumors'':
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's a shame those Archons went out of their way to get rid of that Black Pool. A drink of that substance gave me a buzz like I've never felt before."</font><br>

''Stout Rumors:''
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Asheron seems to be doing a lot of work lately to get some pile of lost Empyreans back.  I hope at least one of them is a brewer, or a barkeep even."</font><br>
 
:<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Geraine causing trouble. The Archons causing trouble. Asheron worried about the consequences of the actions from those Archons. Sounds like another day in Dereth to me. I'll be here drinking, let me know if anything interesting happens like a giant winged creature were to show up and start laying waste to the land. Now that would be worth checking out."</font><br>
