''Free Rumors''

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "What?"
 
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I hear Farelaith has created a Shadownether stone to empower those Isparian weapons with the forces of nether. What weak little people need a wand to help them try and compete with my power?"

''Stout Rumors''
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Only one stout?  It takes more then that to have an effect on me these days. Wonder if that means I have a problem..... nah probably not."
 
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I hear that hunter, Hunter... what a ridiculous name... is finally rewarding people for killing Snow Tusker Leaders. It is amazing what skills a person doesn't need, like basic math, to become a successful hunter. I explained to Hunter.... seriously what a ridiculous name... that 20 was greater than 10, there shouldn't be any confusion from now on."
 
| Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Deewain is holed up pretty well in that cave he created. He did tell me that if I wanted to visit him the rocks would guide my path."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ya, I don't know what that means either."
