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

''Free Rumors''

{{Dialog|
|Town Crier tells you, "A long lost city has reappeared in the deserts of Dereth."

|Town Crier tells you, "I don't know if you've noticed but the undead seem far more frightening lately."

|Town Crier tells you, "It is said that the A'nekshay were a peaceful race of elementals... before the Mu-miyah got a hold of them."

''Pyreal Rumors''
|Town Crier tells you, "A long lost city has reappeared in the deserts of Dereth."

|Town Crier tells you, "I hear of a new prismatic arrow that changed damage based on the bow used to fire them. Amazing the new things that show up in this world.""

|Town Crier tells you, "There are rumors that Geraine and Asheron knew of the existance of Neftet. The question is, why has the city reappeared now?"

'''Ulgrim the Unpleasant'''

''Free Rumors''

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I got a contract for ya... go get me a stout."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Is it just me or do all the undead walking around here look... well a bit more undeadish I guess. I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Neftet? I used to hang out there all the time back before the Mu-miyah made a mess of things out there. Those A'nekshay are some good folks."

''Stout Rumors''

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Don't you worry about where Deewain went to. I'm taking good care of the big softy."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I wouldn't call it the Lost city of Neftet. It was simply hidden by those too weak and unworthy to find it. Since I am sure you are one of those, you can find it east of Yaraq."

|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "So there is a new Empyrean who is willing to show people how to unlearn all of their skills to focus on new ones now huh? Then there's the guy who will let you adjust your augmented resistances, and the people who will go into your head and mess with your natural talents. I remember back when people had to actually prove themselves and had to work to be good at something..."
