Located in almost every town, Town Criers are excellent sources for recent news and happenings such as clues to new Quests. Criers have things to share just talking to them, but the more interesting tidbits are reserved for those who make donations (in cold hard pyreal coins). Be warned though, Town Criers consider anything given to them as a gift, so should you accidentally pass your shiny new Celdon Breastplate of Uberness to a Town Crier, it will never be seen again. The benefit to their avariciousness is it allows the disposal of unwanted items that cannot otherwise be dropped because they are attuned. Indeed the name has become a verb, meaning to get rid of something in this manner.
The Town Criers were not always equal with the rumors they share, some had unique information, such as those found in Sanamar and on Marae Lassel. This was changed during two events:
During the Pillars Made of Sand event, the town criers in Bluespire, Greenspire, Redspire and Timaru started to report the same news as the town criers on the mainland. The static Marae-specific rumors can now be found on local barkeeps.
During the Ancient Powers event, the Viamontian Town Criers began to share the same rumors as those given by the criers on Marae Lassel and the mainland.
During the The Madness of Men event, the mainland Town Criers awarded tokens to players on the Darktide server as an apology for the server downtime and rollback a week prior.
