New Dialog[]

Town Crier

Town Crier tells you, "To furnish the houses built by the Arcanum, furniture vendors have appeared in Zaikhal, Hebian-To, and Cragstone!"

Town Crier tells you, "News! Cooks have created new sweets based on a strange, sweet food carried by Monougas!"

Town Crier tells you, "News! Agents of an organization called the Arcanum have built houses that they will rent out to Derethians in exchange for some very specific quest item.

Town Crier tells you, "The great armorsmiths of each race have developed new, fabulously ornate regalia masks!"

Town Crier tells you, "News! Alchemists of Dereth have developed their craft further! They can now brew health and mana elixirs that are a little different, and maybe a little better, than the ones available from merchants!"

Town Crier tells you, "I think Ill go ahead and buy myself some furniture... But first, I suppose, I have to figure out what it is those Arcanum agents want. They're so picky about what they'll take!"

Town Crier tells you, "Those new regalia masks sure are impressive..."

Town Crier tells you, "My cousin the alchemist is much more in demand with his monarchy now that hes learned how to make those handy trade elixirs!"

Town Crier tells you, "Have you tried one of those tasty candy bars? Chocolate and a scrumptious gooey filling!"

Town Crier tells you, "My cousin the archmage got himself a new Ursuin mask! I've never seen him looking so shaggy!"

Town Crier tells you, "I hate this time of year. I always get pumpkin stains on my robe..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I've been to Steiner's Recliners. Nice wares. Versatile solutions to pre-urban living."

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."
