Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The creatures of the Frozen Valley seem to be fortifying their position."

Stout Rumors

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "One thing that is sure to be bad is if their problems spill over onto these lands."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The Vision of Horror was looking for some help to take care of those issues, but if you ask me, in the middle is the worst place to be."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I was tired of having to run over hills just to kill a creature so I created the Arcing Spells. Now everyone is using them and nobody is giving me any credit! I think I deserve the title Archmage at least."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Ulgrim the Archmage, Master of Time and Space, Leader of the Virindi Resistance, Master Tinkerer, Seer of Truths, Lord of the Jewelry, Supreme Peppermint Cook, Celebrations Advisor to the Queen, Chess Grandmaster, the Shadow Tested, Virindi Regulator and Beer Lord.
