== New Dialog ==
;Town Crier
{{Dialog|

|Town Crier tells you, "The Arcanum has built new Residential Quarters. Give me some money and I may tell where they are."

|Town Crier tells you, "To arms! To arms! It's time that we take this fight where it belongs."

|Town Crier tells you, "If you're into the arts and crafts thing, you might want to check out the pacifist group that's set up in Glenden Wood. They're a bit odd, but they seem generous to like-minded people."

|Town Crier tells you, "You might be glad to hear that I lost my contract for saying the UST jingles. But I am trying to get another one with Telk the Addlepated, advertising the Horn of Vigilance!"

|Town Crier tells you, "Be careful if you venture near Yanshi. My cousin, once he stopped screaming like a madman, said that the ground has been trembling at night."

|Town Crier tells you, "I overheard some spotters talking about Gaerlan's Citadel, it sounded like they were saying it crashed!"

|Town Crier tells you, "Rumor is that the High Queen has been in Yanshi helping Antius and Asheron's Emissary for a couple of weeks now. I've even heard tell that she's been getting her hands dirty."

|Town Crier tells you, "I hear some enterprising tinkers found a use for ivory. Sure, it lightens their load but how am I going to get equipment now, eh? Hunt for it?"

|Town Crier tells you, "Hrmph. At least the elementals have fled Osteth. Too bad the moment they dissolved, the other creatures started coming out of their hiding places."
|Town Crier tells you, "Where did they go anyway? I thought we had explored most of this Island."

|Town Crier tells you, "The High Queen took a contingent of men and women into caverns below Yanshi. They've been working there day and night trying to clear a path into a deep cavern where Gaerlan sacrificed those Elemental Lords."

|Town Crier tells you, "Apparently the tower separated from Gaerlan's citadel and landed safely. What kind of magic is that?"

|Town Crier tells you, "Did you see Martine when he fought? Oh it was amazing. Fire, and acid raining from the sky. Martine was even imprisoned for a time within an elemental shield. Then he was gone in a flash of brilliant light. When the light died out he was gone, and the portal home with him."

|Town Crier tells you, "I heard a secret, but it'll cost you more than that."

|Town Crier tells you, "If you see Asheron make sure you wish him well for me."

|Town Crier tells you, "The Arcanum has built new Residential Quarters. They are accessible from Lytelthorpe, Uzis and Tou Tou."

|Town Crier tells you, "They say that there was a sizable earthquake when the Citadel came down. Who? Oh never mind who."

|Town Crier tells you, "I for one hope that we get to find this fool and teach him a lesson. He thinks he's so much better than us Isparians. Well he has another thing coming if you ask me."

;Ulgrim the Unpleasant

During the Verdict event, Ulgrim was found in [[Aino Lunnan-Shin]]'s tent in [[Xarabydun]].

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, it's only you. Do me a favor and let me know if you see anything strange. I'm a little worried by what I've been seeing in the mana tides. And if you have any stout you might spare I would love a drink."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Why doesn't Asheron just portal that troublemaker to the Olthoi World? Hehe, bet he wouldn't like it when he's surrounded by big nasty bugs with extra mouths and pincers and nasty bits."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant says, "Hey you, do me a favor and let me know if you see a tall man in a red robe coming."

|Aino Lunnan-Shin says, "Ulgrim, please do not bug my patrons. Thank you."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The Citadels crashed... I felt the battle raging in the northeast for nearly half a day. At the end I blacked out, but I think Martine must have used some terrible magics against Gaerlan. When I came to I couldn't sense either of them. I don't see how Martine could have survived the energies he unleashed."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Xara has always been a home away from home for me. Besides if things go badly it may have the last tavern in all of Dereth."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I hope no one takes my sword. I had to leave it behind in Ayan Baqur."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've been informing Aino here about the importance of having a planned escape route in case of a fire or something. So far it just involves running for the Xarabydun portal, but I'm sure we should duck and cover or something."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, a new island, huh? You're all excited about it, huh? Here's one important question you have to ask yourself| Does it have Ulgrim on it? That should tell you all you need to know."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Why don't you make yourself useful and go find out what's happening with Gaerlan."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Martine's gone. He stood up to that bastard Gaerlan and brought down his citadel. We need to insure that his sacrifice wasn't in vain. May you find your peace Martine."

''Stout Rumors''

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Does that portal look any different to you?"
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No?"
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hmmm..."
|Ulgrim watches the portal for any changes.
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant says, "Son of a Mule!"

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Bah! I told you so!"

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "They said to me"
|Ulgrim says in a funny voice| Ulgrim, you just drank your one-millionth stout. What are you going to do now?
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "...and I said 'I'm going to Xarabydun!'"

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I love Xarabydun! It's always nice this time of year. I figured I should take a much needed vacation out here. I'm sure they will need my help below if anything should happen."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Well, I decided to come out here and visit my good friend Aino."
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "She's been a bit worried about all of the Elemental activity."
|Aino Lunnan-Shin looks at Ulgrim with an incredulous expression.
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant says, "What?!"

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've got a secret stash of stout. I'm not telling you where, but if anything should happen to me give this message to Celcynd in Rithwic."
|Look for it there in the lee of the stone.
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "He'll know what I mean."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I stopped dancing here in Aino's tent since I broke one of her tables."
