| |
| === [[Town Crier]] Rumors ===
| |
| ''Free Rumors'':
| |
| :<font color=darkgoldenrod> Town Crier tells you, "I've heard rumors that there is now more than one of Asheron's Emissaries mobilizing adventurers against the Apostate Virindi."</font><br>
| |
| | |
| :<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "It seems the Archons may have succeeded in their quest to destroy the Black Pool. It is strange, though, that they seem to be missing or in hiding."</font><br>
| |
| | |
| :<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "News! The Festivus time is once again upon us!"</font><br>
| |
| | |
| ''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>
| |
| | |
| :<font color=darkgoldenrod>Town Crier tells you, "Asheron seems to be even more concerned now that the the ground has been damaged by the Archons magic. What is below the surface of this world that could worry him in this way?"</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>
| |
| | |
| :<font color=darkgoldenrod> Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Asheron seems ticked at these new, Blue Applesauce Virindi. They must've gotten into his stout stash..."</font><br>
| |
| | |
| :<font color=darkgoldenrod>Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hmmph. Some stupid glowy-thing tried to get me to go on an adventure. What's with those things? It wouldn't even get me something to drink as a reward...</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>

| === [[Known Issues]] ===
| |
| * Gearknights can't wear the new robes.{{notes|http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t{{=}}47999}}
| |
| * Using the [[Glowing Apostate Shard]] near the turbulent portal can give the success message without actually spawning the portal.

| :<font color=green>The crystal glows brightly for a moment when you activate it, and a Portal appears!</font><br>
| |
| | |
| ==== [[Typos]] ====
| |
| * Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Interesting. This is similar to the Apostate Shards being found in the area of the Iron Blade Gear Knights, but there seems to be some sort of '''supression [sic]''' effect or ward upon it."
| |
| * Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Here you go. Don't waste time, however, as it seems somewhat unstable. Head back to the steam vents near the Freebooter Isle Volcano, find an '''anomoly [sic]''' that looks similar to the destroyed portals, and use it next to the '''fluxuations [sic]''' you see."
