=== New Dialog ===
== Shadow Armor Update ==
==== [[Town Crier]] Rumors ====
* [[Shadow Armor]] has received a major update.
{{Dialog|
* Old Alduressa, Amuli, Celdon and Koujia Shadow Armor suits retired. See also [[Retired Shadow Armor]].
''Free Rumors''
|Town Crier tells you, "I've heard reports of strange Virindi being spotted in the desert of Osteth."


|Town Crier tells you,  "I've heard rumors of strange Virindi sightings in Marae Lassel.  What're the Virindi up to now?"
== New Quests ==
 
|Town Crier tells you,  "I swear I just saw someone run by in prismatic sedgemail.  Is that even possible?"
 
''Pyreal Rumors''
|Town Crier tells you,  "News!  The crafters of Shadow Armor have made significant advancements in their craft!"
 
|Town Crier tells you, "I have several reports of unusual Virindi in Greenspire, who seems interested in the recent activity on Marae Lassel."
}}
 
==== [[Ulgrim]] Rumors ====
{{Dialog|
''Free Rumors''
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Shadow armor is coming back in style. Can't you tell I'm wearing some under this robe?"
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Just kidding, I'm not wearing anything under this robe."
 
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Each year around this time I wonder the same thing|"
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Why are there so many baby animals but no children?"
 
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "There's a new vicious Olthoi Queen lurking in Dereth."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Whispers suggest nature may not be at play here."
 
''Stout Rumors''
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "I had the Master Armorers over for drinks the other night."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "I told them their skills had not kept up with the times. They needed to craft far better armors to be of any relevance."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "So I let them in on some of my smithing secrets from back in the day."
|Ulgrim squints at you.
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Oh it's so tough to think that I could craft armor? It's so easy even a drudge could do it."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Anyway, I taught them how to make better equipment. Well, almost all of them."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Alduressa couldn't get past my little golems so I told him to go home."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "I'm still not sure why anyone would want that armor. Nothing beats a robe."
 
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "A lot of strange Virindi activity lately."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Well stranger than they normally are."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Even I don't like to mess with those unnatural "creatures"."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "I hear that if you're drunk they can't mess with your brain."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Are you not listening? Give me some more stout!"
 
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "A new Olthoi Queen in this day and age?"
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  ""That doesn't seem odd to you?"
|Ulgrim's head falls limp before snapping up back up as he stares into your eyes.
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Something unnatural is afoot. Such meddling forces can create an imbalance."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "And when there is an imbalance, disaster always follows to correct it."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Heed these words, for they will resonate with you in the times to come."
|Ulgrim's head falls once again. He slowly raises it.
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Who are you? Oh right, we were talking about the Olthoi Queen."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you,  "Man, I think I blacked out. Quick, give me another stout before my buzz wears off."

Stout Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I had the Master Armorers over for drinks the other night."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So I let them in on some of my smithing secrets from back in the day."

Ulgrim squints at you.

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh it's so tough to think that I could craft armor? It's so easy even a drudge could do it."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "A new Olthoi Queen in this day and age?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, ""That doesn't seem odd to you?"

Ulgrim's head falls limp before snapping up back up as he stares into your eyes.

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Something unnatural is afoot. Such meddling forces can create an imbalance."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "And when there is an imbalance, disaster always follows to correct it."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Heed these words, for they will resonate with you in the times to come."

Ulgrim's head falls once again. He slowly raises it.

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Who are you? Oh right, we were talking about the Olthoi Queen."
