== New Dialog ==
'''Town Crier'''

''Free Rumors''

{{Dialog|
|Town Crier tells you, "Tou-tou is entirely enveloped in Shadow!"
|Town Crier tells you, "I guess there will be "Shadow Diving" after all..."

|Town Crier tells you, "I've heard rumors of life-attuned Shadowfire Wands being available."<Br>
|Town Crier tells you, "Good timing, I guess. There are plenty more shadows around to use it on..."

''Pyreal Rumors''

|Town Crier tells you, "I've seen several Mhoire Undead sporting helms that were previously too flammable to be prominently displayed."

|Town Crier tells you, "News! The corruption of the Hopeslayer's Shadows has entirely enveloped the town of Tou-tou!"<Br>
|Town Crier tells you, "Both Asheron and Isin Dule have been sighted in the outskirts of the ravaged area."

|Town Crier tells you, "Access to the Derethian Combat Arena has both diversified and grown. As I personally don't engage in combat with other Isparians, you'll have to seek out the details on your own."

|Town Crier tells you, "I've heard several additional reports of strange statues that those who have given up Asheron's Protections are fighting over."

'''Ulgrim the Unpleasant'''

''Free Rumors''

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I tried out the changes to that Derethian Combat Arena. It is just no fun when the competition is so lousy. I can't believe these people even refer to themselves as warriors. More like fish if you ask me."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I ran into Lord Cynreft the other day and taught him how to not be such a push over. He's still far from any match for me, but then again, who is?"

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Asheron has called on my assistance with the mess in Tou-Tou. The toughest part will be trying to stay sober... Well I'm sure I'm still better than all those shadows when I'm drunk."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Cheers"
''Stout Rumors''
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's been a while since I've fought alongside Asheron."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You didn't know I fought with him? We stood back to back against many of the greatest threats in the history of Auberean."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Well I don't care if you don't believe me, but I do think you owe me another stout for being so rude."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hurnmel finally realized he was sitting on a gold mine and raised the price of those Spectral Rares."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "If you ask me, only the weak need the aid of something like that."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Can you believe that the Jester had no idea how to deal with Void Magic. I had to explain the secret to defending yourself against nether spells."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Man that guy is annoying to talk to for more than a few seconds. He made me have to start drinking early that day."

'''Ansar El-Kerdany'''

| Ansar El-Kerdany tells you, "Qumasha needs help in discovering how Varicci crafted the weapon, Heartbreaker."
| Ansar El-Kerdany tells you, "Help him figure out this information then return to me and I shall reward you."

'''Esmond Fielding'''

| Esmond Fielding tells you, "This month we have decided that you should retrieve a Frozen Black Crystal and bring it to Riordin Nightbane."
| Esmond Fielding tells you, "Return to me after you have aided him in this matter."

'''Niccolo De Luca'''

| Niccolo De Luca tells you, "This month we have decided that Xsao Lann needs help in finding her lost pet."
| Niccolo De Luca tells you, "Find her pet and return to me for your reward."
