Town Crier tells you, "I've heard rumors that the wedding ceremony has an interesting guest list."


Town Crier tells you, "I've seen many people sporting all new looks. I guess a Barber finally set up shop somewhere."


Town Crier tells you, "Lugian ore supplies are at an all time high. It would seem they found a rich new mine somewhere!"


Town Crier tells you, "The wedding is on! Not sure when the ceremony is though. Did I miss it?"

Pyreal Rumors:

Ulgrim Rumors

Free Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Aetheria, it's not for me unless you add the "l" back in."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Barbers and Tailors? Ah, the joys of vanity. All that effort, and just so everyone can look like me. I should be flattered."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Don't tell anyone but I've been supplying alcohol to miners."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Have you noticed how dazed the people at fishing holes look?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Just try talking to one of them. You'll be lucky if they even acknowledge you. More than likely they'll just stand there casting and casting and casting."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "They're Fishing Zombies! Fishing Zombies I tells you!"


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hrmph. Weddings. They always take longer to prepare than you think, and cost more than you're prepared for. You'd think people would learn by now.

Stout Rumors:

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I heard the wedding is finally on, so I wandered by the Pavillion, and found this poor, neglected wet bar, all alone. So, I did what any caring, compassionate, forthright man would do, and I packed it all up and took it home."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Poor little thing seems much happier now."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I went for a walk along the shore recently."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Generally these things turn out bad for me and I lose a scroll."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "This time I found what appears to be the den of a giant sand creature."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So I stepped inside to destroy this creature in the name of all that is frothy!"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Well, long story short. It's ANOTHER Lugian mine."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "These guys should get a job, a respectable one, like mine."


Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "This thought keeps entering my head... it's in the same place that's a different place."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I wonder what that means..."
