You can now move previously un-movable popup or confirmation windows that appear on screen, such as Warfront or Dungeon queue join/decline notifications. There is now a "Take All" button when reading mail with attachments. Also touched up the Mail UI buttons in general. Added a button that allows you to "take all attachments from all mail items" in your inbox. The Abilities panel now sorts by category and in alphabetical order. A warning icon will now appear on your pet portrait if your pet is capped at a lower level than your character. On-screen messages for quests, errors, raid warnings, and broadcasts are now moveable via the Edit Layout system. Fixed buff/debuff tooltips not displaying a description of the effect. Added new quest indicators for daily PvP quests and World Event quests - including minimap icons, overhead icons, cursors, all that jazz! Fixed guild quest icons showing up as low level quests . New characters will have all minimap icons enabled except for Show Low Level Quests by default. Calling Trainers for other Callings will no longer be displayed on your minimap. Character window sections will now only become visible once your character has something to show in that section, to prevent information overload with a bunch of sections that aren t relevant to your character at the time. Ex Gaining Notoriety will cause the Notoriety section to appear, adding a companion pet will trigger the Companions section to appear. etc. Added a help button to the Soul Tree window to bring up the Soul Tree tip window at any time. When you have a Notoriety capped, the bar now actually looks full rather than empty. Opening the split stack option now hides item tooltips to prevent overlap. Fixed tooltips appearing in the top left corner if you teleported while a tooltip was being displayed. Auction House Fixed a bug in the Usable Only checkbox so that auction results are displayed correctly (less blank pages and half-filled pages all around). Optimized the Guild Roster pane to handle showing offline members for very large guilds without breaking things. I m looking at you, Epic. The Achievement window now properly updates for exploration achievements when entering new areas. Using the ESC key to cancel an in-progress chat window message no longer cancels the resurrection confirmation window. Chat messages for bonus Favor awards have been removed to cut back on chatspam. Bonus Planarite earned is still displayed. Escort quests no longer have the share button shown in the quest log - these are handled by sharing to the group when the quest is first accepted. Quests that require you to collect or craft single items as quest objectives no longer display "0/1" at the end of the objective. Added new loading screen tips to better highlight many new features added since launch. Auction House "no results" messages now shown in the search results area when no items are listed matching the search term. Error messaging is now more descriptive when you fail to use an ability because you lack a required item. Fixed a rare case where the client would always select the same player when mouse-picking targets. Map waypoints are now cleared on logout. CLIENT When combat logging to a text file is enabled, the Rift client will no longer open and close the log file for every line written. Instead, it will leave the file open and flush new data every half second. The interval for flushes can be tuned in rift.cfg with the CombatLogFileFlushInterval value.

tourism is now turning into a booming enterprise in many nations.it is obvious that it results in the improvement of motels and purchasing facilities, and this creates jobs for the area people—jobs which might not in any other case exist. for the reason that site visitors are in particular keen on examples of local crafts, a number of recent industries tend to be developed to fulfill this call for.still, the advent of site visitors continually ends in upgrades in ports, airports and roads. nearby humans then gain from these upgrades themselves, and in the meantime, the leisure parks, zoos and different amenitiesgradually expand to draw more and more vacationers. regrettably, giving every pupil a laptop method we want a whole lot of computer systems. right now, the ratio of computers to college students is one to twelve. this indicates students most effective get to paintings on the computer systems 3 or 4 instances a week. but if each student had a computer, we ought to use it every time we wanted. ingesting at domestic is higher for you, too. food at eating places are regularly high in fat and calories, and they serve big plates of meals--a whole lot greater food than you want to devour at one meal. if you prepare dinner meals at domestic, you have got greater control over the ingredients. you can use margarine as opposed to butter for your potatoes, or no longer placed a lot cheese on pinnacle of your pizza. at domestic, you could manipulate your portion size. you can serve your self as low as you want. in a restaurant, you can eat a complete plate of food due to the fact you paid for it . voip phone

Hammer of the Cyclops 野良サイクロプスの槌。持ち主を問わない絶大な威力と鍛造ボーナスを持つ Hammer of the Cyclops 両手武器 研究Lv 属性 属性2 内部ID 299 12 5 威力 攻撃補正 攻撃回数 長さ 37 0 1 3 防御力 防御補正 回避率 重さ -1 射程 弾数 特殊 腕力非依存 その他 鍛造ボーナス：50% ゲーム内解説文 This well-crafted hammer was made by the mighty Cyclops, Polyperchon. There can be no better tool than this when crafting magic items. 和訳 この上質な槌は、強力なCyclops、Polyperchonによって製造されました。魔法の品を製造する際に、これ以上に良い道具は存在しません。 注記 何の因果か腕力非依存な、特殊中立軍のCyclopsが持つ大槌。もっとも、その機能の本命は鍛造ボーナスのほうにある。 鍛造ボーナス50%と言えばアーティファクトであるHammer of the Forge Lordに匹敵するボーナスであり、それが序盤からでも手に入り得るというのは素晴らしい。序盤からでもどんどんアイテムを作っていけるだろう。 武器としてもそこそこ強いが、うっかり敵に取られるとたまったものではないので、入手後は速やかに首都あたりに送っておきたいところ。 入手は不確実なため、これを最初から戦略に入れるのは不可能に等しいが、たまたま手に入った場合は十分に活かしたい。Gemに余裕の無いうちに手に入った場合は正に最高の品となり得る。 中盤以降でも高コストの品の製造がわりと気軽にできるようになるので、その影響力は決して失われない。1本しかないとはいえ、高級品は製造に必要なスキルも高いもの。何人もで一気に作れることは少ないだろう。 なお、腕が4本あればこれとHammer of the Forge Lordを同時装備して鍛造ボーナス100%という冗談のようなものが見られる。ただし、残念ながら効果は80%あたりで限界になる様子（コスト10→2、コスト15→3）。 コメント 名前 コメント

str_comment_cunning_fierds_hall|I hope you come with good intentions. Then we can speak further. str_comment_cunning_fierds_map|You look hardened by war and if you are hardened, all that fighting can lead to more than just scrapes and petty loot. str_comment_cunning_sar_hall|You show promise, and under my tutelage you might become more than a thug. str_comment_cunning_sar_map|You have the look of someone with strong will but of no purpose. I can give you that purpose. str_comment_cunning_empire_hall|Unlike some of my peers, I am not at all above making use of the odd stranger. str_comment_cunning_empire_map|A stranger may have hidden motivations, but those motivations just might coincide with my own. str_comment_cunning_dshar_hall|I welcome you, if you support the cause of the D'Shar. str_comment_cunning_dshar_map|It may be that your presence here could be of use to me. str_comment_cunning_rav_hall|This is no fat land for a politician such as meself. The people are simple, the loyalties are written in stone. An outsider such as yourself though, well, you could change the game. str_comment_cunning_rav_map|They say that a stranger might prove useful in strange times -- let's hear what you've got to say. str_comment_upstanding_fierds_hall|Dear friend, what a seldom honor to be in your presence. str_comment_upstanding_fierds_map|What an honor! I know about your many triumphs and consider you my tutor in the art of war. str_comment_upstanding_sar_hall|My friend, what a joy to have you near. My men were cheering as they saw you heading towards us. str_comment_upstanding_sar_map|I am honored to bask in the light of your presence. str_comment_upstanding_empire_hall|While you may aspire to citizenship in the Empire, it is rarely granted to those such as you. I'd advise you go elsewhere. str_comment_upstanding_empire_map|By the by, here's a friendly bit of advice should you see the Noldor - run, don't walk! str_comment_upstanding_dshar_hall|Greetings, stranger. State your business here. str_comment_upstanding_dshar_map|I shall permit you to travel across my territory in peace, but raid my villages or harm my tribesmen and I shall kill you! str_comment_upstanding_rav_hall|We meet here to plan the destruction of our enemies. But still, one must pray for their immortal souls. str_comment_upstanding_rav_map|Well met, friend. Pass in peace and my men will not accost you. str_comment_martial_fierds_hall|With that arrogance, you just be glad my weapon is sheathed! Now say what you want and leave the area. str_comment_martial_fierds_map|You may be a skilled warrior, and if I could be sure that only our enemies feared you, I would say Willkommen. str_comment_martial_sar_hall|The fact that you do not hold a weapon in your hand shows your recklessness -- and how easily I could crush you. str_comment_martial_sar_map|My scouts informed me you were coming, but I took no precautions, seeing as it is only you. str_comment_martial_empire_hall|In the Empire, transgressions by strangers are not taken lightly. I'd advise you heed my advice while you're here. str_comment_martial_empire_map|Hail. Who crosses my lands without my permission? str_comment_martial_dshar_hall|If it is trouble you seek in D'Shar lands, I think you have found it. str_comment_martial_dshar_map|We D'Shar do not take lightly encroachments into our territory. str_comment_martial_rav_hall|Ah, these walls inspire me. I would rather meet an enemy here than a friend! str_comment_martial_rav_map|State your business quickly or stand aside! str_comment_sadistic_fierds_hall|I see you have some bruises from battle. If I cared for your well-being, I'd have my surgeon look at you -- but I don't. str_comment_sadistic_fierds_map|Yes, what is it? Speak fast before I have my men use you for target practice. str_comment_sadistic_sar_hall|You look weary from your journeys and could use a drink, I suspect. There's a lake near here. You're welcome. str_comment_sadistic_sar_map|Please, no more challenges today! I squash people like you as easily as flies. str_comment_sadistic_empire_hall|As long as you're here, why not go and fight the Snake cult? At least then you'd be of some use to the Empire. str_comment_sadistic_empire_map|If you're here as a spy for those damned D'Shar savages, I shall kill you where you stand. str_comment_sadistic_dshar_hall|You may have heard that I impale those who rob or raid in my territory. Keep that in mind. str_comment_sadistic_dshar_map|What, precisely, do you seek here? str_comment_sadistic_rav_hall|Ah, you missed the hunt this morning. I rode out on my finest steed with my finest dogs. Would you believe it, though? The girl got away! str_comment_sadistic_rav_map|I suppose you found me by following the trail of burning villages, eh? Well, my men were cold. str_comment_pitiless_fierds_hall|So, you are the one roaming the countryside like a thug. Can you speak? str_comment_pitiless_fierds_map|I heard about your last battle and I'm surprised to see you standing without support. str_comment_pitiless_sar_hall|The stables are over there. And while you're at it, muck out my jakes as well. str_comment_pitiless_sar_map|My time is precious. When you arise in the morning, I've already eaten a hearty meal and trained my men, so be brief. str_comment_pitiless_empire_hall|Should you elect to cause trouble in the Empire, our Legionnaires will see to your punishment -- promptly. str_comment_pitiless_empire_map|You look brave enough now. I wonder how you'll look when the Snake cult and the Noldor have done with you. str_comment_pitiless_dshar_hall|And who are you, who enters my hall uninvited? str_comment_pitiless_dshar_map|I trust you have an excellent excuse for your presence here? str_comment_pitiless_rav_hall|I've grown weary. Even abusing the servants fails to cheer me. str_comment_pitiless_rav_map|I suppose you've come to beg help like any other refugee? str_comment_quarrelsome_fierds_hall|I have killed many boars! In comparison, you are weak and cannot run as fast. str_comment_quarrelsome_fierds_map|They say I kill for fun, but do you hear me laughing? str_comment_quarrelsome_sar_hall|You are not one to be trusted and I am not one to be tricked. State your errand and begone. str_comment_quarrelsome_sar_map|Maybe we'll meet in a tournament someday. I do more harm with blunt weapons than you'd care to know. str_comment_quarrelsome_empire_hall|We of the Empire have a low tolerance for listening to riffraff. State your business and leave. str_comment_quarrelsome_empire_map|You have my leave to depart the Empire. We don't want your kind polluting our land. str_comment_quarrelsome_dshar_hall|If you spy here for the Empire, your life will be very short. str_comment_quarrelsome_dshar_map|Why do you trespass in D'Shar territory? str_comment_quarrelsome_rav_hall|It reminds me of how far we've slipped towards barbarism, when I see the likes of you addressing a lord. str_comment_quarrelsome_rav_map|Don't waste my time, peasant! If I felt the need of useless talk, my wife would be beside me. str_comment_goodnatured_fierds_hall|May Thallo ver Shures follow you and bring beauty and life wherever you go. str_comment_goodnatured_fierds_map|You look healthy, my friend, and have many teeth left! str_comment_goodnatured_sar_hall|Welcome, dear ally. What say you? str_comment_goodnatured_sar_map|I see your health is strong and your eyes have fervor. Speak freely. str_comment_goodnatured_empire_hall|I'll not go so far as to say your presence here is entirely welcome, but do no harm in my territory and I'll do none to you. str_comment_goodnatured_empire_map|I've more of a predilection for peace than war, but that does not mean I will tolerate any incursions into my territory. str_comment_goodnatured_dshar_hall|As a lord of the D'Shar, I bid you welcome. str_comment_goodnatured_dshar_map|We of the D'Shar treat our guests well -- when they do not bring harm to our people. str_comment_goodnatured_rav_hall|Conclaves of war are not my usual pastime, I must admit. Ah, I wish we could get more ale in here. str_comment_goodnatured_rav_map|Well met, the ride here is lonely, eh? Have ye time to stop and share a wee dram? str_comment_intro_liege_affiliated|I am told that you are pledged to one of the pretenders who disputes my claim to the crown of Pendor - but we may still talk. str_comment_intro_famous_liege|Your fame runs before you! Perhaps it is time that you sought a liege worthy of your valor. str_comment_intro_famous_martial|Your fame runs before you! Perhaps we shall test each other's valor in a tournament, or on the battlefield! str_comment_intro_famous_badtempered|I've heard of you. Well, I'm not one for bandying words, so if you have anything to say, out with it. str_comment_intro_famous_pitiless|I know your name. It strikes fear in men's hearts. That is good. Perhaps we should speak together, some time. str_comment_intro_famous_cunning|Ah, yes. At last we meet. You sound like a good {reg63?man woman} to know. Let us speak together, from time to time. str_comment_intro_famous_sadistic|I know your name -- and from what I hear, I'll warrant that many a grieving widow knows too. But that is no concern of mine. str_comment_intro_famous_goodnatured|I've heard of you! It's very good to finally make your acquaintance. str_comment_intro_famous_upstanding|I know your name. They say you are a most valiant warrior. I can only hope that your honor and mercy matches your valor. str_comment_intro_noble_liege|I see that you carry a {reg63?nobleman's noble's} banner, although I do not recognize the device. Know that I am always looking for good {reg63?men warriors} to fight for me, once they prove themselves to be worthy of my trust. str_comment_intro_noble_martial|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. No matter -- a brave {reg63?man's warrior's} home is all the world, or so they say! str_comment_intro_noble_badtempered|I don't recognize the device on your banner. No doubt another foreigner come to our lands, as if we didn't have so many here already. str_comment_intro_noble_pitiless|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. Another vulture come to grow fat on the leftovers of war, no doubt! str_comment_intro_noble_cunning|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. Still, it is always worthwhile to make the acquaintance of {reg63?men women} who may one day prove themselves to be great warriors. str_comment_intro_noble_sadistic|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. Perhaps you are the bastard {reg63?son daughter} of a puffed-up cattle thief? Or perhaps you stole it? str_comment_intro_noble_goodnatured|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. Please forgive my ignorance! It is good to make your acquaintance. str_comment_intro_noble_upstanding|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. No doubt you have come to Pendor in search of wealth and glory. If this indeed is the case, then I only ask that you show mercy to those poor souls caught in the path of war. str_comment_intro_common_liege|You may be of common birth, but know that I am always looking for good men to fight for me, if they can prove themselves to be worthy of my trust. str_comment_intro_common_martial|Perhaps you are not of gentle birth, but even a commoner, be {reg63?he she} of sufficient valor, may make something of {reg63?himself herself} some day. str_comment_intro_common_badtempered|Speak quickly, if you have anything to say, for I have no time to be bandying words with common soldiers of fortune. str_comment_intro_common_pitiless|You have the look of a mercenary, another vulture come to grow fat on the misery of this land. str_comment_intro_common_cunning|Well... I have not heard of you, but you have the look of a {reg63?man woman} who might make something of {reg63?himself herself}, some day. str_comment_intro_common_sadistic|Normally I cut the throats of impudent commoners who barge into my presence uninvited, but I am in a good mood today. str_comment_intro_common_goodnatured|Well, you look like a good enough sort. str_comment_intro_common_upstanding|Peace to you, and always remember to temper your valor with mercy, your courage with honor. str_comment_intro_female_famous_liege|I have heard much about you. Some men may fear a woman who is versed in the art of war, but I will not scorn one who can wield a sword, should she be brave and loyal. str_comment_intro_female_famous_martial|I have heard much about you. They say that you are the equal of even the bravest of men in your prowess at arms. Perhaps one day I shall try my valor against yours, either in a tournament or on the battlefield! str_comment_intro_female_famous_badtempered|I've heard of talk of you -- the woman who fights like a man - and thinks like one. str_comment_intro_female_famous_pitiless|I know your name. It strikes fear in men's hearts. That is good. Perhaps we should speak together, some time. str_comment_intro_female_famous_cunning|Ah, yes. At last we meet. You sound like a good woman to know. Let us speak together, from time to time. str_comment_intro_female_famous_sadistic|I know your name -- and from what I hear, I'll warrant that many a grieving widow knows too. But that is no concern of mine. str_comment_intro_female_famous_goodnatured|I've heard of you! It's very good to finally make your acquaintance. str_comment_intro_female_famous_upstanding|I know your name. They say you are a most valiant warrior. I can only hope that your honor and mercy matches your valor. str_comment_intro_female_noble_liege|It is not often that I meet a woman who leads men into battle. But these are dark and troubled times, and I will not scorn one who can wield a sword, should she be brave and loyal. str_comment_intro_female_noble_martial|I do not recognize the device on your banner, but clearly you are a lady of rank. Please consider me your most humble servant. str_comment_intro_female_noble_badtempered|I don't recognize the device on that banner. Clearly another foreigner come to our lands, bringing their strange ways. str_comment_intro_female_noble_pitiless|I see that you carry a noble's banner, but I do not recognize the device... You should know, lady, that in Pendor it is the men who ride to war, and if you seek to overturn the natural order of things, you will find your fair head stuck on a pike - like any other rebel! str_comment_intro_female_noble_cunning|It is not unheard-of for a woman to seek her fortune on the battlefields of Pendor, but neither is it usual. I shall be most interested in your progress. str_comment_intro_female_noble_sadistic|You appear to be of noble rank, but I don't recognize your banner. Clearly, another foreigner come to our shores -- no doubt from a land where men are weak, and the women ride to war in their place! str_comment_intro_female_noble_goodnatured|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. Forgive my ignorance, my lady! It is good to make your acquaintance. str_comment_intro_female_noble_upstanding|It is not every day that we see a woman caparisoned for war. Please do not take this amiss, my lady, for you have every right to protect yourself, but I cannot pretend to be fully comfortable with your decision to fight in battle. I would prefer that women be untouched by these wars, as I believe the female to be the custodian of what little gentility and tenderness remains to us. str_comment_intro_female_admiring_liege|It is not often that I meet a woman who aspires to lead men into battle. But these are dark and troubled times, and I shall not scorn one who can wield a sword, should she be brave and loyal. str_comment_intro_female_admiring_martial|Greetings, my lady. Although I see from your demeanor that you are a warrior woman, not a conventional maiden, I hope that you are not averse to a declaration of admiration from me, your most humble servant. str_comment_intro_female_badtempered_admiring|Hah. Fancy this - a lady equipped for war. Well, it's a strange sight, but in your case, I can imagine that it might grow on me. str_comment_intro_female_pitiless_admiring|It is unusual to see a woman girded for war. Be careful, my lady - it is a harsh world, and it would be a shame to see such beauty marred by a sword-blow. str_comment_intro_female_cunning_admiring|Greetings, my lady. Please do not think it forward, if I say that it is unusual to see a woman caparisoned for war. I hope that one day I may be the father of a daughter possessed of such bravery and spirit. str_comment_intro_female_sadistic_admiring|What have we here! A woman, caparisoned for war! Well, I dare say that one as fair as you could lend a touch of femininity even to a mail hauberk. str_comment_intro_female_admiring_goodnatured|My lady, if you are skilled as arms as you are fair in countenance, then your enemies should indeed fear you! str_comment_intro_female_admiring_upstanding|Greetings, my lady. Even with the dust of the march upon your clothes and gear, I can see that you are not lacking in the graces of your noble sex. str_comment_intro_female_common_liege|It is not often that I meet a woman who aspires to lead men into battle. But these are dark and troubled times, and I for one will not turn away hands that can grip a sword, should their owner be brave and loyal. str_comment_intro_female_common_martial|I suggest, my lady, that you take care how you ride about this dangerous land. If you ever wished to seek a more... em... settled life, I'm sure I could find you a worthy husband from amongst my men. str_comment_intro_female_common_badtempered|By the way, girl -- does your husband know that you nicked his weapons and armor? I'll bet you're in for a right old beating when you get home! str_comment_intro_female_common_pitiless|These are fallen times indeed, when even women turn brigand, to pick the leavings from the wreckage of war. str_comment_intro_female_common_cunning|It is not unheard-of for a woman to seek her fortune on the battlefields of Pendor, but neither is it usual. I shall be most interested in your progress. str_comment_intro_female_common_sadistic|A woman, caparisoned for war! Well, I suppose that you're no more womanly than most of those in my service who call themselves warriors. str_comment_intro_female_common_goodnatured|From the look of you, I suppose you can handle yourself, but do be careful out there, my lady. str_comment_intro_female_common_upstanding|It is not every day that we see a woman caparisoned for war. Please do not take this amiss, my lady, for you have every right to protect yourself, but I cannot pretend to be fully comfortable with your decision to fight in battle. I would prefer that women be untouched by these wars, as I believe the female to be the custodian of what little gentility and tenderness remains to us. str_rejoinder_intro_female_common_badtempered|I won my weapons in battle. Care to test their - and my - mettle? str_rejoinder_intro_female_noble_sadistic|Never mind my country. Here in Pendor, overtly drooling cretins lead men to war. str_rejoinder_intro_female_common_sadistic|And you, sir, have manners as polished as any Jatu. str_rejoinder_intro_female_noble_pitiless|Your words come from your arse - try using your mouth for a change. str_rejoinder_intro_female_common_pitiless|These are parlous times, when ill-mannered idiots call themselves 'Lord'. str_rejoinder_intro_noble_sadistic|Perhaps now I'll take your banner, your castle - and your life. str_rejoinder_intro_female_pitiless_admiring|I'd be delighted to rearrange your face into a more pleasing visage, sir. str_rejoinder_intro_female_common_upstanding|Would you care to experience the tenderness of my steel? str_rejoinder_intro_female_noble_upstanding|Would you care to experience the tenderness of my steel? str_rejoinder_intro_female_common_martial|How dare you? I don't go fishing in the jakes. str_rejoinder_intro_female_sadistic_admiring|If you had on a horse's harness, I'd be hard put to tell your face from your arse. str_rejoinder_intro_female_badtempered_admiring|If you're disturbed by the sight of me, I'd be pleased to put out your eyes. str_comment_you_raided_my_village_enemy_benevolent|You raided peasants under my protection in the village of {s51}.

Do it again and I'll gut you like a fish. str_comment_you_stole_cattles_from_my_village_friendly|I have heard that you have stolen cattle from my villagers living at {s51}. This will place a grave strain on our friendship. str_comment_you_stole_cattles_from_my_village_default|I have heard that you have stolen cattle from my villagers living at {s51}.

Try it again, and see what happens. str_comment_you_accosted_my_caravan_enemy|You have raided caravans in my demesne.

You accosted caravans traveling under my protection, bearing my sigil. You will cease this robbery immediately! str_comment_you_helped_villagers_benevolent|The Elder of {s51} told me you helped them when they were in need. I must admit, I've neglected my duties as lord, so I greatly appreciate your aid to them. str_comment_you_helped_villagers_friendly_cruel|I heard that you gave charity to my tenants in the village of {s51}. I appreciate your efforts, but remember that it's my duty to protect and help them.

As amusing as it is to picture you groveling for favor amongst my peasants, I ask that you mind your own business in future. str_comment_you_helped_villagers_cruel|The people of {s51} sing your praises. As their rightful lord and master it is my duty to assist them in times of hardship. You may mean well, but your actions undermine my authority. In future, mind your own business, {reg63?sir madam}. str_comment_you_helped_villagers_default|I hear you recently assisted my peasants at {s51}. Times have been better, the gods know, and I suppose you meant well, but do not make a habit of it.

Well, save your wine. It will take more than wine to wipe out the stain of your earlier disgraces.

We made his army a feast for the crows! Ha! He'll think twice before he fields an army against us again. str_comment_we_defeated_a_lord_quarrelsome|I won't forget how we whipped {s54}! I enjoyed that. The little prick deserved worse than defeat. Next time, I hope we kill him. str_comment_we_defeated_a_lord_upstanding|The gods be praised for our victory over {s54}! Let us bow our heads and pray we don't grow too proud and entreat the gods to continue to favor our cause. str_comment_we_defeated_a_lord_default|Wasn't that an enjoyable defeat of {s54}? We cut through them like a reaper in a field of barley! str_comment_we_fought_in_siege_unfriendly_spiteful|Don't suggest raising a toast to our success over {s51}.

The memory of our joint fight at {s51} is much sweeter if I forget you were there. str_comment_we_fought_in_major_battle_unfriendly|Bah! I remember watching you in the battle of {s51}. My infant son could have done better with a paring knife. str_comment_we_fought_in_major_battle_cruel|The wound I took at {s51} has healed properly and is scarcely scarred. I should have seen that blow coming! Still, we broke through their lines and sent them running, eh?

Let us praise the gods and never forget that victories are achieved only with their favor. str_comment_we_fought_in_major_battle_default|Honored friend, I will not forget our battle at {s51}. It warms my heart to have fought by your side. str_comment_you_defeated_a_lord_allied_liege|So, you crossed swords with that rascal, {s54}, and actually emerged victorious. I am very happy to hear that; it served him right. str_comment_you_defeated_a_lord_allied_unfriendly_spiteful|A peddler told my captain of guard that you fought and defeated {s54}. Remember that day well, for it was a very lucky one for you! str_comment_you_defeated_a_lord_allied_spiteful|I heard a rumor that you engaged and defeated that flea-ridden dog, {s54}. Ah, if only I could have heard him whimpering for mercy. I would have pissed myself laughing! str_comment_you_defeated_a_lord_allied_unfriendly_chivalrous|You had a great victory over {s54}. I hope there isn't anything to the rumor that treachery played a part in your victory. str_comment_you_defeated_a_lord_allied|In camp last night, I learned that you defeated {s54}. I hope you treated him chivalrously when you captured him. str_comment_you_defeated_me_enemy_chivalrous|Last time we met, I found your tactics equal to those of a seasoned commander. Therefore, I do not begrudge you your victory, but I wish to restore my good name. Let us test our strengths once more! str_comment_you_defeated_me_enemy_spiteful|I have been looking forward to meeting you again, trickster. Your shifty little ruses will not deceive me a second time. I will relish hearing your cries for mercy once I've defeated you. str_comment_you_defeated_me_enemy|The last time we engaged one another, you had the better of me. However, {playername}, be assured that it will not happen again, for the gods favor my cause! str_comment_i_defeated_you_enemy_spiteful|Back for more?

Are you sure you're equal to such an audacious challenge? str_comment_i_defeated_you_enemy_benevolent|Once again you come at me? Will you never learn? Wasn't last time humiliating enough for you? str_comment_i_defeated_you_enemy_coldblooded|You are a persistent nuisance. I'll be rid of you as easily as I crush a louse. str_comment_i_defeated_you_enemy|How many times must I chastise you before you learn to keep your distance? You should beg the gods to knock some sense into that thick head of yours! If they don't oblige, I certainly will! str_comment_we_were_defeated_unfriendly_spiteful|The last time I saw you, you had been struck down by the men of {s54}. The blame for that disaster is entirely yours and it's a pity you survived that debacle. str_comment_we_were_defeated_unfriendly|My men reported that you were captured and led off the battlefield by {s54}'s men. Got away, did you? str_comment_we_were_defeated_cruel|Bad luck that {s54}'s men struck you down back there, {playername}. Don't worry - we'll find him and make him choke on his victory. str_comment_we_were_defeated_default|I feared the worst when I saw you struck down by {s54}'s men. It is good to see you alive and well. str_comment_you_were_defeated_allied_friendly_spiteful|My steward told me last night that {s54} gave you a hard time. Don't worry, my friend - I'll track him down and make you a gift of his head. str_comment_you_were_defeated_allied_unfriendly_cruel|When I heard reports of {s54} slaughtering your men like sheep, I laughed myself sick at the thought of your demise! Damnit, now you turn up alive. What a disappointment! str_comment_you_were_defeated_allied_spiteful|A fortnight ago I heard news that {s54} crushed you. Hah! Children should not meddle in games meant for grown-ups, little {reg63?boy girl}! str_comment_you_were_defeated_allied_pitiless|The dozen men I hanged last week wore your colors. Given that {s54} scattered your forces all over Pendor, I suppose they were reduced to banditry. That is most disappointing... str_comment_you_were_defeated_allied_unfriendly_upstanding|Someone told me {s54} defeated you. No doubt your defeat was sent by the gods as punishment for your misdeeds, {playername}. I beg you, ask the gods to forgive your sins! str_comment_you_were_defeated_allied_unfriendly|A couple of the lads from my fief, whom you enlisted, returned with the news that {s54} defeated you. Do try not to get too many of our men killed, won't you? Dead men can't harvest my grain or pay my taxes. str_comment_you_were_defeated_allied|On my journey here, I heard the news that {s54} defeated you. Don't take it to heart - the tables will soon be turned! str_comment_you_helped_my_ally_unfriendly_chivalrous|{s54} told me you saved him from likely defeat. Whatever else I think of you, I must at least commend you for aiding him. str_comment_you_helped_my_ally_unfriendly|[relevance should be zero, and this message should not appear] str_comment_you_helped_my_ally_liege|{s54} told me you rescued him from sure defeat and turned the battle in your favor. I appreciate such a noble and successful deed. str_comment_you_helped_my_ally_unfriendly_spiteful|I heard that you rode to the rescue of our poor {s54}. Did you think him a damsel in distress? Quit fancying yourself a knight in shining armor - heroes always come to a bad end. str_comment_you_helped_my_ally_spiteful|My castellan told me that you saved {s54} from a whipping. You should have left him to learn the lesson he richly deserves. str_comment_you_helped_my_ally_chivalrous|Reports claim that you helped {s54} out of a tight spot. That was a noble deed, {reg63?sir madam}. str_comment_you_helped_my_ally_default|I heard that you got {s54} out of a tight spot. Good work! Our side needs more {reg63?men women} who don't hesitate to intervene where needed! str_comment_you_abandoned_us_unfriendly_spiteful|You bloody little coward! You left us to face {s54} on our own, while you ran for your life! I'll spit upon your grave, as I spit in your face right now! str_comment_you_abandoned_us_unfriendly_pitiless|You abandoned me in the midst of the battle with {s54}. I'll see you stripped of your titles and land, and buried in a traitor's grave, you honorless turncoat. str_comment_you_abandoned_us_spiteful|You left me in the middle of the battle with {s54}, like a rat abandoning a sinking ship - I trust you have a good explanation. Were you shaking too much to hold your weapon? Did your teeth chatter too loudly for you to hear my commands? Well? str_comment_you_abandoned_us_chivalrous|What happened to you in the middle of that battle against {s54}? I needed you to reinforce my men, and you just left. I hope it was because you were carried off the field badly wounded, for I would be ashamed to have gone into battle alongside a coward. str_comment_you_abandoned_us_benefitofdoubt|Why did you leave the battlefield just when I expected you to lead the charge into {s54}'s ranks? Were you wounded? str_comment_you_abandoned_us_default|For the gods' sake, what happened? One moment you were fighting beside us against {s54}, and the next moment you were nowhere to be found! Where the hell did you go? str_comment_you_ran_from_me_enemy_spiteful|Last time we met, you ran from me like a whipped dog. Have you come back to snarl at me again or just to whine for mercy? str_comment_you_ran_from_me_enemy_chivalrous|At our last encounter, you galloped off in the opposite direction. Learn to stand and fight like a true warrior! str_comment_you_ran_from_me_enemy_benevolent|When you fled from me, the last time we crossed swords, I had high hopes I'd never see you again. str_comment_you_ran_from_me_enemy_coldblooded|Fleeing me was a wise decision, the last time ill luck led you to cross my path. Perhaps you should turn tail and run again, you sniveling coward. str_comment_you_ran_from_me_enemy|You might have escaped the last time we crossed paths, but next time I'll not let you get away so easily! str_comment_you_ran_from_foe_allied_chivalrous|Your enemies boast that you fled from {s54}, leaving your men behind to cover your retreat. I pray that is not true, for such behavior dishonors us all. str_comment_you_ran_from_foe_allied_upstanding|{s54} said you ran from him, leaving your men behind to buy your escape with their lives. Desperate times inspire desperate measures, but you'd best look to your good name. Men will not fight in our armies if they think we'll abandon them on the field of battle. str_comment_you_ran_from_foe_allied_spiteful|By the way, I hear you ran away from {s54} like a squeaking rat fleeing a terrier, leaving your men behind to be butchered. Hah! I'm damned sorry I missed that delightful sight! str_comment_you_defeated_my_friend_enemy_pragmatic|Trickster! You may have bested {s54}, but you cannot defeat us all! I shall not be deceived by your clever little tricks! str_comment_you_defeated_my_friend_enemy_chivalrous|Rumor has it that you were lucky enough to defeat {s54}. Ever since I heard that, I have wished to avenge him. str_comment_you_defeated_my_friend_enemy_spiteful|Your fame runs before you, {playername}. {s54} may have fallen for your tricks, but if you fight me, you'll find me a much more slippery foe. str_comment_you_defeated_my_friend_enemy|I hear you defeated {s54}. I will be a truer test of your skill at arms, since only sheer luck can give you victory over me. str_comment_you_captured_a_lord_allied_friendly_spiteful|I understand you were able to capture {s54}. I hope you squeezed him for every denar in his treasury. str_comment_you_captured_a_lord_allied_unfriendly_spiteful|I heard that you captured {s54}. Your coffers must be well-filled with ransom by now. Too bad that money alone cannot transform a low-born cur into a {reg63?gentleman gentlewoman}! str_comment_you_captured_a_lord_allied_chivalrous|Rumor has it that you managed to capture {s54}. Well done! I trust you treated him with the courtesy due his rank? str_comment_you_captured_a_lord_allied|So you captured that old scalawag, {s54}? Despite the fact that he's a worthless piece of dung, his ransom should bring a pretty penny, given his rank and title. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied_chivalrous|It came to my ears that you captured {s54}, but then let him go. Such chivalry is laudable. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied_upstanding|I had a report that you captured {s54}, but released him without a ransom. Your action was honorable, but also rather stupid. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied_coldblooded|I heard whispers that you captured {s54}, but allowed him to go free, which was certainly most chivalrous of you. You may wish to keep in mind that chivalry does not win wars. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied_unfriendly_spiteful|So you were able to get your hands on {s54}. Why did you let him go? How very chivalrous of you! No doubt the widows and orphans he'll leave in his wake will want to thank you in person. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied|Funnily enough, I heard that you captured {s54}, then released him without ransom. Well, I won't advise you on how to treat your prisoners, but you'd have done better to keep him under guard. str_comment_you_let_me_go_spiteful|You had me at your mercy, yet allowed me to go free when I was unlucky enough to fall into your hands. I hope you enjoyed toying with me as a cat plays with a mouse. Soon I will have you at my mercy, to slay or humiliate according to my fancy. str_comment_you_let_me_go_enemy_chivalrous|Despite my capture, you did not take advantage of the situation to enrich yourself, and allowed me an honorable leave. That was kind of you, and I will not forget it. Still, I must remember and keep the oath I gave to my liege, and our kingdoms are still at war. str_comment_you_let_me_go_enemy_coldblooded|You were very stupid to allow me to go free when you captured me. We remain enemies, and I cannot promise to repay your mercy in kind. str_comment_you_let_me_go_enemy|I thank you for sparing me humiliation and the payment of a hefty ransom when you had me at your mercy. That was kind of you, but we are still at war, and must remain enemies. str_comment_you_let_me_go_default|You released me when you had the better of me and I was unlucky enough to fall into your hands. That was kind of you and I am glad that our kingdoms no longer war against one another. I may be able to repay that debt now. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_martial_unfriendly|My liege lord, {s54}, sent a messenger saying you had joined our cause. I trust you'll not disgrace us by behaving in a cowardly fashion. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_martial|The King sent a runner with the news of your pledge of fealty. I look forward to fighting alongside you against our foes. Together, we will crush them. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_quarrelsome_unfriendly|Hmmpf...

Do yourself a favor and stay out of my way. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_quarrelsome|I hear you swore allegiance to {s54} and were rewarded for your fealty. Fight hard against our foes but respect your betters.

Were I in his place, I would not trust you to clean the jakes. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_selfrighteous|I was informed that you pledged fealty to our lord, {s54}. Fight bravely and you will be well-rewarded. Betray us and we'll make a sufficiently fine example of you that future oathbreakers will think twice before betraying us. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_cunning_unfriendly|I heard that you joined our cause and {s54} took your oath. I do not pretend to be happy about his decision, but perhaps it is better to have you inside our tent pissing out, rather than outside pissing in. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_cunning|My lord {s54} tells me you pledged yourself to him. That is good. The more skilled fighters we have with us in these troubled times, the better ・though I will watch your progress closely. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_debauched_unfriendly|I was told you swore yourself to {s54}.

I am sure that you and I will become very good friends. Betray us, however, and you'll face deadly consequences. You will quickly regret such a huge mistake. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_goodnatured_unfriendly|I was informed you pledged yourself to our lord, {s54}. Well, I can't say that I would have trusted you that much, but perhaps you deserve the benefit of the doubt. I hope you'll prove yourself worthy of his trust. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_goodnatured|{s54}, sent news he had accepted your oath of allegiance. Good {reg63?man woman}! Our lord is generous, and rewards loyalty and valor. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_upstanding_unfriendly|News is that you pledged yourself a vassal to {s54}. Alas, from what I know of you, you will disgrace our side quite shortly. Mind you, I'll not complain if you prove me wrong. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_upstanding|I heard you gave an oath of vassalage to {s54}.

Keep in mind that pride ever goes before a fall. str_comment_our_king_granted_you_a_fief_allied_unfriendly_spiteful|It seems fortune favored you when {s54} granted you the fief of {s51}. I suspect, however, that fate has raised you up merely to humble you the more when you fall. It will be a pleasure to see you thrown back onto your dungheap. str_comment_our_king_granted_you_a_fief_allied_spiteful|So {s54} has assigned you the fiefdom of {s51}? Let's hope you merit his generosity. str_comment_our_king_granted_you_a_fief_allied|I heard that {s54} granted you {s51}. You seem to be doing very well for yourself.

I hope you are brave enough to face your trial and execution for high treason with fortitude. str_comment_you_renounced_your_alliegance_unfriendly_moralizing|I was disgusted to hear that you renounced your allegiance to {s54}.

Very well, help yourself to the spoils of my victory. I shall not stop you. str_battle_won_unfriendly_cunning|{playername}...

What do you hope to gain by this ridiculous challenge? str_unprovoked_attack_sadistic|What's this? Do you want all your men slaughtered? If so, I'll gladly oblige you. str_unprovoked_attack_goodnatured|Why do you challenge me? We've no quarrel, {reg63?Sir Madam}, nor any reason for one - yet. str_unprovoked_attack_upstanding|I consider this an unprovoked assault and will protest to your King. What is the meaning of this? str_unnecessary_attack_default|I will not hesitate to cut you down if need arises. But I offer you the chance to ride away now. str_unnecessary_attack_martial|I am eager to take up your challenge, {reg63?Sir Madam}, although I will give you a minute to reconsider it. str_unnecessary_attack_quarrelsome|Bah! I'm in no mood for this nonsense today. Get out of my way. str_unnecessary_attack_pitiless|Since I'm in a merciful mood today, I'll pretend I did not hear you. str_unnecessary_attack_cunning|I don't see what you hope to gain by making an enemy out of me. Perhaps you should reconsider your words. str_unnecessary_attack_sadistic|I have no time to waste on you. Give way and crawl back into your hole. str_unnecessary_attack_goodnatured|I don't see what you could possibly gain by picking this fight, {reg63?Sir Madam}. Leave now, and live to see another day. str_unnecessary_attack_upstanding|If a fight is what you wish, {reg63?Sir Madam}, a fight you shall have. Still, I offer you the chance to back down and leave peacefully. str_lord_challenged_default|As you wish. Prepare to die! str_lord_challenged_martial|So be it. Defend yourself! str_lord_challenged_quarrelsome|You impudent whelp! I'll crush you! str_lord_challenged_pitiless|If you wish to die so badly, I have no choice but to oblige you. str_lord_challenged_cunning|Well, since you leave me no choice... str_lord_challenged_sadistic|You impudent dog! I'll make you curse the day your mother whelped you! str_lord_challenged_goodnatured|Very well, I had hoped that we might avoid coming to blows but I see that I have no choice in the matter. str_lord_challenged_upstanding|So be it. It saddens me that you will not listen to reason. str_lord_mission_failed_default|Well, I am very disappointed in you. But I am sure that you will have other chances to redeem yourself. str_lord_mission_failed_martial|There is no honor in failing a quest, but I will accept your word that you tried. str_lord_mission_failed_quarrelsome|You failed? Bah! I should have expected as much from the likes of you. str_lord_mission_failed_pitiless|You failed? You disappoint me, which is most unwise. Those who disappoint me seldom live long str_lord_mission_failed_cunning|Well, I am disappointed, but no one can guarantee that the winds of fortune will always blow their way. str_lord_mission_failed_sadistic|Indeed? Those who fail me generally do not live to regret it. str_lord_mission_failed_goodnatured|Oh well, it was a long shot, at best. Thank you for trying. str_lord_mission_failed_upstanding|So be it. I am sure that you gave it your best effort. str_lord_follow_refusal_default|Follow you? You forget your station, {reg63?Sir Madam}. str_lord_follow_refusal_martial|On the day you prove yourself a true warrior, I may consider following you. But not today. str_lord_follow_refusal_quarrelsome|Follow someone like you? I don't think so. str_lord_follow_refusal_pitiless|Lords do not follow commoners, {reg63?Sir Madam}. str_lord_follow_refusal_cunning|First demonstrate that you will not lead me into disaster. Then, I may consider following you. str_lord_follow_refusal_sadistic|I think not! Those of your station follow those of mine, rather than the reverse. str_lord_follow_refusal_goodnatured|Uhmm, no.

Although I gave my oath to {s46}, it does not bind me to support him if he usurped the throne illegally. str_rebellion_dilemma_quarrelsome|Hmm. {s46} has never given me my due, hence I don't owe him much. However, {s45} will be no better, and {s46} has shown himself a leader, at least. str_rebellion_dilemma_pitiless|Hmm. {s45} says {reg3?she he} is the rightful heir to the throne. That is good - it absolves me of my oath to {s46}. Still, I must weigh my decision carefully. str_rebellion_dilemma_cunning|Hmm. I gave an oath of fealty to {s46}, yet the highborn are not bound by their oaths as are ordinary people. Our highest duty is to bring order and and justice to our people. str_rebellion_dilemma_sadistic|Hmm. In this mercenary world, a wise man must think of himself, for no one else will. So - what's in it for me? str_rebellion_dilemma_goodnatured|I do not know what to say. I gave an oath to {s46} as my lawful ruler. But... if he is not the lawful ruler, I don't know whether I am still oathbound or not. str_rebellion_dilemma_upstanding|This is troublesome. It is a grave thing to declare my fealty to {s46} null and void, to dissolve the bonds which keep our land from sinking into anarchy. Yet I am pledged to support the legitimacy of the succession to the throne as well, and {s45} holds a valid claim. str_rebellion_dilemma_2_default|[liege] str_rebellion_dilemma_2_martial|On the other hand, {s46} has led us in war and peace and I am reluctant to renounce my allegiance, for he leads us well. str_rebellion_dilemma_2_quarrelsome|Do tell me, why should I turn my back on the devil I know in favor of the devil I don't know? str_rebellion_dilemma_2_pitiless|It is a most perilous position, and the question of whom I would make {reg3?ruler king} of this land needs careful attention. Yet this presents an opportunity as well, and I may reap many rewards if I choose correctly. str_rebellion_dilemma_2_cunning|{s46} has been challenged and thus will never be able to rule as strongly as one whose claim is unquestioned. Yet if {s45} takes the throne by force, {reg3?she he} will not be as well-supported nor be as strong as one who succeeded peacefully. str_rebellion_dilemma_2_sadistic|Perhaps if I join {s45} while {reg3?she he} is still weak {reg3?she he} will enrich me. On the other hand, if I bring {s46} your head, he will reward me with a large sum as well. str_rebellion_dilemma_2_goodnatured|{s46} has always treated me decently, yet he did wrong {s45}. I hesitate to renounce my fealty to {s46}, but my heart tells me I must not support injustice. str_rebellion_dilemma_2_upstanding|I feel that I must do whatever is best for the realm, to keep it from being ravaged by civil war or torn apart by its enemies. str_political_philosophy_martial|My sword is at the disposal of my rightful liege, so long as he upholds his duty to me. str_political_philosophy_quarrelsome|Bah. They're all a bunch of bastards. I try to make sure that the ones who wrong me learn to regret it. str_political_philosophy_pitiless|Men will always try to cheat others of their rightful due. In this faithless world, each must remain vigilant of his own rights. str_political_philosophy_cunning|Well, it's a harsh world, and it is our lot to face harsh choices. Sometimes one must serve a tyrant to keep the peace, but sometimes a bit of rebellion keeps the kings honest. Circumstance is all. str_political_philosophy_sadistic|My philosophy is simple it is better to be the wolf than the lamb. str_political_philosophy_goodnatured|Well, you should keep faith with your promises, and not do injustice to others. Sometimes it's hard to balance those. Stick with people you trust, I think, and it's hard to go far wrong. str_political_philosophy_upstanding|Kingship and lordship have been instituted to keep the peace and prevent the war of all against all, yet that must not blind us to the possibility of injustice. str_political_philosophy_roguish|Hmm... I guess I'm thinking that it's good to be a lord. str_political_philosophy_benefactor|A good ruler makes sure all are treated justly. Personally, I intend to use my authority to better the lot of those who live in my demesne. str_political_philosophy_custodian|A good ruler creates the proper conditions for people to prosper. Personally, I intend to use my wealth to create more wealth, for myself and for the common benefit. str_rebellion_prior_argument_very_favorable|I have already heard some arguments for supporting your candidate for the throne and I tend to agree with them. str_rebellion_prior_argument_favorable|I have heard some quite convincing arguments for supporting your candidate so far and I tend to agree. We'll have a new {reg63?King Queen}. str_rebellion_prior_argument_unfavorable|So far only weak arguments for supporting your candidate have come to my ears. I do not find those reasons convincing at all. str_rebellion_prior_argument_very_unfavorable|Anyone begging for support, employing such weak arguments as yours, is bound to fail, especially when discussing the royal succession. str_rebellion_rival_martial|{s49} your ally {s44} once questioned my honor and bravery.

I have always detested the creature. str_rebellion_rival_cunning|{s49} {s44}, who has already joined you, is headstrong, quarrelsome and will assuredly prove a liability to your cause. str_rebellion_rival_sadistic|{s49} I have no desire to fight alongside your ally, {s44}. His nauseating displays of virtue revolt me. str_rebellion_rival_goodnatured|{s49} I'd be reluctant to be on the same side as {s44}, who has quite a reputation for cruelty. str_rebellion_rival_upstanding|{s49} your ally, {s44}, is a dangerous, unreliable, and highly unprincipled man. I despise him. str_rebellion_argument_favorable|I respect your line of argument. str_rebellion_argument_neutral|To be frank, I find your arguments compelling. str_rebellion_argument_unfavorable|I haven't heard a less convincing line of argument since my sire's father died. str_rebellion_persuasion_favorable|you eloquently state your case. str_rebellion_persuasion_neutral|you make a reasonable case. str_rebellion_persuasion_unfavorable|you have failed to make your case in a convincing manner. str_rebellion_relation_very_favorable|I hold you in great respect. str_rebellion_relation_favorable|I know and respect you as highly as I esteem your cause. str_rebellion_relation_neutral|I do not know you as well as I would like.

Nonetheless, str_rebellion_agree_martial|I have decided to support {s45} as the rightful heir. str_rebellion_agree_quarrelsome|Ahh, I've thought long enough. I never did like {s46} much anyway. Let's take his throne and give it to someone more appealing. str_rebellion_agree_pitiless|You are fortunate indeed. I have decided to join your cause. Please do not give me reason to regret my decision. str_rebellion_agree_cunning|This is a most dangerous decision, but after careful consideration I have decided to join you. Let's hope everything turns out well. str_rebellion_agree_sadistic|I have decided to back your {reg3?woman man} {s45}. You'd best make sure that {reg3?she he} rewards me well or you'll curse the day I joined you! str_rebellion_agree_goodnatured|I think your {reg3?woman man} will be a good and worthy ruler. I'll join you. str_rebellion_agree_upstanding|So be it. My first and foremost duty is to this realm. To save it from lawlessness I will back {s45} and renounce my homage to {s46}. May the gods forgive me if I do wrong. str_rebellion_refuse_martial|Sorry, {s45} may have a good claim but it's not enough for me to turn my back on {s46}. I remain loyal to my liege and will fight his enemies wherever I encounter them. str_rebellion_refuse_quarrelsome|Your whelp {s45} doesn't have what it takes to rule this realm. I'm sticking with {s46}. str_talk_later_martial|Now is not the time to talk politics! Today I am accompanied by my fellow lords and armed for battle. You'd do better to prepare to fight, rather than wasting your time on useless words. str_talk_later_quarrelsome|Do you expect me to discuss betrayal of my liege while we are surrounded by his army? What do you take me for, a bloody idiot? str_talk_later_pitiless|Hold your tongue! Whatever I may have to say on this matter will not be said here, in the midst of our army. str_talk_later_cunning|This is hardly the time or the place for such a discussion. Perhaps we can talk about this matter at a later time and in a different place, but for now we still are foes. str_talk_later_sadistic|You should have your mouth sewn shut! Imagine what will happen if the other vassals see me talking to you about committing high treason! str_talk_later_goodnatured|So you wish to discuss your rebellion with me? Try again, when we aren't surrounded by my liege's army, and I may decide to listen. str_talk_later_upstanding|Whatever my thoughts on the legitimacy of the succession, I am not willing to discuss them here and now. If we meet again and can speak in privacy, I will hear what you have to say on the matter. For now, consider me your enemy. str_rumor_lord_generic_1|The gossip is that {s6} doesn't like anyone but himself. str_rumor_lord_generic_2|A neighbor has heard that {s6} admires his appearance greatly. He ordered his knights to polish their armors brightly enough for him to see his own reflection. str_rumor_lord_generic_3|A tavern drunk said that {s6} eats so much garlic that he must employ retainers without a sense of smell. str_rumor_lord_generic_4|I heard the gossip is that the local girls fear {s6}, not for their virtue, but that he will steal their dresses and undergarments. str_rumor_lord_generic_5|I was told that {s6} once mounted his knights on cows, after someone stole his horses. His mooing warband actually won an engagement! He is now known as the cowherd knight! str_rumor_lord_generic_6|My brother understands that {s6} is so paranoid that he has a personal spy watching him lest he attempt to form a plot against himself. str_rumor_lord_generic_7|A neighbor said his steward says that {s6} is quite a loner. He seldom talks with even his best friends, thus no one really knows him. str_rumor_lord_generic_8|I heard that {s6} is so fearful after that last assassination attempt that he ordered his guards to attack anyone, lord or peasant, who gets too close to him! str_rumor_lord_generic_9|A town guard says the gossip is that {s6} loves music so much that he sings for his men, and even convinced two young knights join his concert during a festival. str_rumor_lord_generic_10|I heard {s6} is looking for someone to teach him the Noldor language, so he can insult them properly during their next engagement. str_rumor_lord_generic_11|I heard that those who serve under {s6} say he is greatly enamored of his own good looks, and constantly buys new helmets because of his fear of facial scars. str_rumor_lord_generic_12|Someone said that {s6} is a heavy drinker who bears no love for warfare, and often after a battle holes up in his castle to enjoy a solitary drink. str_rumor_lord_generic_13|A tavern drunk said that a soldier once told him that {s6} crossed a great river alone, when his army refused to attempt it. He wanted to prove that obstacles can be overcome by willpower. After he crossed, his shamed men followed. str_rumor_lord_martial_1|I heard that {s6} loves nothing more than war, because he cannot perform as a man except on a battlefield. str_rumor_lord_martial_2|A town guard said that {s6} sometimes whistles while speaking. People say that {s6} visits taverns, not for drinks and good company, but rather to fight. He lost several teeth brawling, hence his whistled words. str_rumor_lord_martial_3|A neighbor said that tavern gossips say that {s6} once rode up to a large band of the Order of the Dragon and proceeded to challenge the lot to a duel. He was left minus one eye, half a leg and seven fingers, but he is admired by the Order for his bravery. Or his stupidity, perhaps! str_rumor_lord_martial_4|My sister told me about that 'wife' of {s6}'s. He married a scarred-up Mystmountain barbarian, supposedly because he prefers rough trade to real women. str_rumor_lord_martial_5|I heard that {s6} broke his arm in a wrestling contest with a berserker. Now, after beating him, his opponent is now his most trusted friend. str_rumor_lord_martial_6|I heard that even women in the fief of {s6} are required to attend weekly archery practice. str_rumor_lord_martial_7|I heard that {s6} lost his balls in a duel in his youth. Left him with a maiden's voice! He has dedicated his life to the art of war, since he could not sire an heir, poor sod. str_rumor_lord_martial_8|I heard that {s6}, despite being surrounded by Noldors, managed not only to defeat them, but also personally killed at least five. str_rumor_lord_martial_9|I once heard that {s6} is very prone to outbursts of anger when faced with the possibility of defeat. His anger frequently leads him to victory! str_rumor_lord_martial_10|I heard a mercenary say that, despite begin a good strategist, {s6} often chooses poor commanders unable to execute his complex plans, and thus comes to ruin. str_rumor_lord_martial_11|I heard people say that the secret to the victories {s6} achieves is his collection of old military treatises from strategists of the old Kingdom of Pendor. str_rumor_lord_martial_12|I heard that {s6} is a very conservative man. In battle, he will use only old tried and true tactics, despite what his officers advise. str_rumor_lord_martial_13|My brother says the word is that, during a siege, {s6} raced up the ladder to open a breach for his men to storm the castle. str_rumor_lord_martial_14|A town guard told me about the time {s6} besieged a castle in his younger days. His commander was killed. The young lord donned the bloody armor his commander no longer needed and took control of the siege. He ordered a night attack, which took the castle off guard. He won the siege but lost an eye in the battle. str_rumor_lord_quarrelsome_1|A town guard said that {s6} almost came to blows with another lord lately because the man made a joke about his nose. If you ever talk to him, best avoid mention of eagles, hawks, ducks, or anything else with a beak. str_rumor_lord_quarrelsome_2|I was told that {s6} has been banned from all Pendorian debating societies for arguing too vehemently, and drawing his blade! str_rumor_lord_quarrelsome_3|A neighbor said he once woke up to hear {s6} having a shouting match with a rooster. The strange thing was that he actually won! str_rumor_lord_quarrelsome_4|My sister said that rumor has it {s6} once bit a dog who had bitten him. Puts new meaning into the term 'hair of the dog,' heh, heh. str_rumor_lord_quarrelsome_5|I was told that {s6} is just as likely to lose his temper daily as that the sun will rise tomorrow morning. str_rumor_lord_quarrelsome_6|Someone said that {s6} keeps a philosopher in his hall to guarantee himself a good debate every day. str_rumor_lord_quarrelsome_7|My brother once heard {s6} complain about the excessive fixation people have with the old days. He thinks the best times are now, and he will offer passionate debate to anyone who states otherwise. str_rumor_lord_quarrelsome_8|A tavern drunk said {s6} often complains that he has yet to meet someone who can offer him a good challenge. He regularly annoys the knights he meets in his crusade to find his equal at combat. str_rumor_lord_quarrelsome_9|A neighbor said he once woke in the middle of night to the sound of {s6} bellowing to some unfortunate officer that he refuses to use cowardly tactics such as an ambush. He prefers to face enemies head on. str_rumor_lord_quarrelsome_10|Someone said a merchant told him that he saw {s6} inform a young lady that her dress did not match her shoes and her hat was unfashionable for this season. str_rumor_lord_quarrelsome_11|I heard from a Knight that ever since {s6} was cheated by a merchant, he shows them no mercy. Still, who knows exactly what the merchant did...? str_rumor_lord_quarrelsome_12|My brother said that bastard {s6} managed to turn a diplomatic mission into a war! The king was late to the meeting where he was to present the peace treaty, so {s6} mouthed off to one of the king's guards while he waited. When the king arrived, he flung some choice insults at him, as well. That was the end of the peace offer! str_rumor_lord_selfrighteous_1|I heard that {s6} executed a squire for killing a deer in his preserve. I fear the poachers hunting in his forests will bring down vengeance upon their villages. str_rumor_lord_selfrighteous_2|A town guard said he had seen the sheriffs of {s6}, and claims they are equipped as well as the Knights of the Lion. str_rumor_lord_selfrighteous_3|I heard that {s6} once forced a father to execute his own daughter for adultery. str_rumor_lord_selfrighteous_4|A neighbor said a good friend told him that {s6} will carry out any sentence he thinks just, and says if his justicar will not order proper punishment, he'll do it himself. str_rumor_lord_selfrighteous_5|I heard that {s6} was once a Knight of the Dawn before coming into his inheritance. str_rumor_lord_selfrighteous_6|My brother said that {s6} once acquitted a man for murder. The plaintiff had stood on one leg and shot an arrow at the apple he placed on the victim's head. {s6} let him off because of some obscure law legalizing this particular scenario. str_rumor_lord_selfrighteous_7|I heard that {s6} automatically hangs any man in his army who deserts his post. str_rumor_lord_selfrighteous_8|I heard from a friend that {s6} spends an unhealthy amount of time writing and enacting new laws. Those who serve him complain that they can only sleep when he is occupied with his studies or writing. str_rumor_lord_selfrighteous_9|My sister said she refused to believe that {s6} once ordered an artist to create a lot of portraits of him and then distributed them to all the taverns in his fief. Having a mug of ale with your lord's image glaring down at you must be quite disturbing! str_rumor_lord_selfrighteous_10|The rumor is that {s6} is looking for a new way to mark time. He theorizes that he could get more work out of his peasants if he can regulate time. Heh, next he'll try telling the sun when it should rise! str_rumor_lord_cunning_1|My brother says {s6} must have had a weasel in his ancestry, as he is a very cunning opponent. str_rumor_lord_cunning_2|I heard that {s6} comes up with more cunning plans than a fox trying to get into a henhouse. str_rumor_lord_cunning_3|I heard rumors that the Snake Cult want to recruit {s6} to make use of his sly and clever tactics. str_rumor_lord_cunning_4|I was told that very few survive a battle against {s6} because his soldiers apply poison to their weapons before each battle. str_rumor_lord_cunning_5|A neighbor said the current gossip is about young {s6}. While at university he adopted the philosophy Power corrupts. Knowledge is power. Study hard. Be evil. str_rumor_lord_cunning_6|A town guard said that {s6} is a true fox. He was being pursued, told his men to drop their weapons and armor and retreated into a swamp. He and his men got away with a few mosquito bites, but his pursuers in heavy armor sank into the bog's quicksand and perished to the last man. str_rumor_lord_cunning_7|Rumor has it that {s6} was besieged by a army four times as big as his garrison. Damned if he did not open the gates wide for them. You'd think him a fool, but the besieging lords thought it a trap and promptly retreated. str_rumor_lord_cunning_8|An upstart noble called Black Snake or something said that {s6} comes up with more cunning plans than a fox who has just been appointed professor of cunning at Janos University. str_rumor_lord_cunning_9|I heard them say {s6} is stirred to a frenzy by the sight of his own blood. str_rumor_lord_cunning_10|I was told that {s6} continued to fight with at least three Snake Cultist bolts in him! He did not even slow down until all the Cultists were dead. str_rumor_lord_cunning_11|A neighbor says rumor is that {s6} often throws himself into desperate situations because he loves the thrill of the moment. People call him 'The Boar' - when cornered, he is just as dangerous. str_rumor_lord_cunning_12|I was told that during a fierce battle, where he almost faced defeat, {s6} ordered his men to kill all their prisoners to prevent the enemy from rescuing them. str_rumor_lord_cunning_13|I heard that {s6} is so paranoid about plots against him, he will send off members of his own family to far lands to prevent them from plotting against him! str_rumor_lord_cunning_14|My brother said that {s6} once defended a bridge alone against several enemies, fighting heroically though drenched in blood from his and their wounds. He was laughing all the while he fought. str_rumor_lord_sadistic_1|Someone said many a condemned man walks from the dungeon of {s6} straight to the gallows. I wouldn't want to get on his bad side! str_rumor_lord_sadistic_2|{s6} would rather swim in a tub of fresh blood than in a secluded lake, because the blood is warmer. str_rumor_lord_sadistic_3|I heard a rumor that {s6} hires torturers for his feasts in place of jesters. str_rumor_lord_sadistic_4|I was told that {s6} sat and played his fiddle while his village burned, rather than helping to douse the flames. str_rumor_lord_sadistic_5|I was told that {s6} offers his prisoners a choice Kill and eat a fellow prisoner or die. Those who choose to indulge in cannibalism are then executed for it. str_rumor_lord_sadistic_6|My brother said that {s6} would rather watch an execution than retire for the evening with a lovely woman str_rumor_lord_sadistic_7|A neighbor said that {s6} invented the guillotine because he wanted a faster way of executing his peasants. str_rumor_lord_sadistic_8|I heard that that those close to {s6} say he is a bad son, husband and ruler, a man who joys in the practice of all the worst vices. str_rumor_lord_sadistic_9|I was once told {s6} personally cuts off the heads of certain enemies after a battle to increase his collection. He supposedly has them stuffed, mounts them on his bedroom wall and talks to them. He reputedly wears a bracelet made of enemy teeth, too. str_rumor_lord_sadistic_10|I heard a terrible story about a village captured by {s6}! He spared no one, down to the smallest babes, but tortured them first in ways which would shame even Syla Uzas. str_rumor_lord_sadistic_11|My sister said {s6} is a bad ruler, despite his bravery and military skill. He has no consideration for his people, and will sell out the very things he was fighting for, if he thinks there is profit in the sale. str_rumor_lord_sadistic_12|I was told that {s6} kills those foes who surrender to him, after first urging them to surrender with a promise of mercy. str_rumor_lord_sadistic_13|A town guard said the rumor is that {s6} once set fire to a small forest because he thought some enemies were hiding there. It spread and destroyed one of his villages. str_rumor_lord_goodnatured_1|Someone said that {s6} is praised by his tenants for treating his peasants quite well. That is more than can be said for most nobles! str_rumor_lord_goodnatured_2|My sister says one of {s6}'s knights claims that his lord once had a farting competition with a cow. The witnesses to this tasteful competition fainted from the smell before a winner was declared. str_rumor_lord_goodnatured_3|My mother says he once saw {s6} digging right alongside his villagers to raise the embankment that kept his village from flooding. He is a truly good man. str_rumor_lord_goodnatured_4|A neighbor said a traveler told him that {s6} opens his larder and storerooms and shares food with his peasants during a famine. str_rumor_lord_goodnatured_5|My brother said a proud mercenary told him that {s6} saved him from the gallows. {s6} conscripts convicted bandits who have not committed murder as mercenaries. Now this reformed man defends the very people he once robbed. str_rumor_lord_goodnatured_6|A tavern drunk said he saw a duel between {s6} and a prisoner who had pleaded the right to combat. {s6} let the man live even though killing him would have raised his own prestige and renown dramatically, because he put up such a good fight. str_rumor_lord_goodnatured_7|I was told the last time {s6} was in a village, he noticed most of the village cattle were bleeding after a recent wolf attack. He killed them out of pity, despite the horde of protesting peasants. Next day, he replaced every head, at his own expense, and the villagers feasted on the meat of the ones he killed! str_rumor_lord_goodnatured_8|My sister says rumor holds that {s6} once met a beggar, talked with him for several hours and then granted him a village. Most would think this a sign of a weak mind but, as the tale goes, the beggar was actually a good elder exiled from his former village because he refused to execute his own daughter for adultery. str_rumor_lord_goodnatured_9|I heard from a traveler that {s6} sometimes travels to one of his villages with bards, jesters and wine. He actually holds a feast for his peasants! str_rumor_lord_goodnatured_10|A town guard said that {s6} is highly praised by his men because of his courage he once defeated three Anaconda Knights in one on one duels str_rumor_lord_goodnatured_11|They say {s6} is like the sun, his splendor and light are so great that his people fear to look at him directly lest they go blind. Sounds to me like my lord's propaganda mill is working overtime! str_rumor_lord_goodnatured_12|I was told that the mercy {s6} exhibits is in fact a weakness; people manipulate him, he knows it, but still does nothing. str_rumor_lord_goodnatured_13|My brother says the word is that {s6} tries his best to prevent his men from harassing villagers. It is good to know that people like him exist. str_rumor_lord_goodnatured_14|I heard that once {s6} forgave the debts of some of his poorest subjects because heavy rains had ruined their fields. str_rumor_lord_upstanding_1|A town guard said the minions of {s6} claim they could do worse than serve him. He is good to his followers and rewards them if they work well. His court delivers equal justice to men of both high and low station. str_rumor_lord_upstanding_2|I was told that {s6} once sat on a rock by the shore and commanded the tide to stop coming in. He got very wet. Crazy, no? He did it to demonstrate to his people that no lord, however powerful, can command nature! str_rumor_lord_upstanding_3|I was told that {s6} sometimes roams incognito among the people in order to learn firsthand their problems. Wait, who did you say you were again? str_rumor_lord_upstanding_4|My brother said he heard that {s6} once defended a village single-handedly from marauding bandits. I wish all knights acted with such bravery. str_rumor_lord_upstanding_5|A neighbor says people told him that {s6} enlists captured poachers into the ranks of his personal huntsmen. str_rumor_lord_upstanding_6|A tavern drunk says that {s6} is far too good and kind to agree with the beliefs of the Order of the Dawn. str_rumor_lord_upstanding_7|I heard from a man at arms serving under {s6} that no man upholds justice so firmly as he he once disbanded a soldier for stealing a hat, another time he hanged three men because they assaulted a young peaant girl. str_rumor_lord_upstanding_8|Someone said he once saw {s6} enact a law, then only two minutes later return and announce he had found a loophole in it. He ended up enacting the same law five times before he was satisfied all the loopholes were closed. str_rumor_lord_upstanding_9|I was told that {s6} has instituted numerous investigations in his domain for signs of heretical activity. str_rumor_lord_upstanding_10|A town guard said {s6} took a castle - nothing special, you might say, but his method of taking it was carved into his memory! He rode alone into the castle and proposed a parley. They parleyed over wine and agreed that {s6} might take the castle for the duration of the war, but he swore he would return it to its lord when peace was made. Damned if {s6} did not keep that promise, too! str_rumor_lord_upstanding_11|My sister says a merchant told her that {s6} banned all music in his domain for several days, because he thought the peasant songs too heretical. The peasants thought him worse than a Knight of Dawn. str_latest_rumor|The latest rumor you heard about {s6} was str_changed_my_mind_martial|However, your stirring words make me reconsider my position. str_changed_my_mind_quarrelsome|But I think you've talked me into it anyway, you bastard. I'm still listening str_changed_my_mind_pitiless|But when you plea like that, I will deign to reconsider. str_changed_my_mind_cunning|But you know, you're a well-spoken bastard. That impresses me. I'm still listening. str_changed_my_mind_sadistic|But as your silver tongue sings so pretty a song on your behalf, I will not dismiss the idea just yet. str_changed_my_mind_goodnatured|But you make a good case, so I'll try to keep an open mind. str_changed_my_mind_upstanding|However, you make an eloquent case. I am still listening. str_swadian_rebellion_pretender_intro|I am Sir Darlion, rightful King of Sarleon and all Pendor. str_vaegir_rebellion_pretender_intro|My name is Madam Ursula of Senderfall, and I am the rightful Queen of Ravenstern. str_khergit_rebellion_pretender_intro|I am Xerxes, son of Iskander Bahadur Khan, rightful Bahadur Khan of the D'Shar Principalities. str_nord_rebellion_pretender_intro|I am Inar Ironhand, First Axe of Windholm and rightful Koningur of all the Fierdsvain. None may rightly dispute my right to rule. str_rhodok_rebellion_pretender_intro|I am Demosthenes of Cez, rightful Imperator of the Empire, and the man who will one day free them from tyranny. str_swadian_rebellion_pretender_story_1|My great-great grandfather was the acknowledged bastard son of King Cavalas of Pendor. He was eighth in line for the throne as he was acknowledged -- not once, but several times, before the grandest nobles of the land, that none could doubt his lineage. str_vaegir_rebellion_pretender_story_1|My father died when I was young, leaving me in the care of his sister, Amethea of Senderfall, and naming me his lawful heir. I spent most of my girlhood training for the day that I would ascend the throne of Ravenstern. Yet, that was not to be. My younger brother Gregory, who was ever one to crave power, managed to convince the Northern Lords that a woman should not sit upon the throne of the North. He pressed his claim, and was named legal heir and then crowned King. str_khergit_rebellion_pretender_story_1|Kadan and I are brothers, sons of the old Bahadur Khan, though we had different mothers. Although I was the younger brother, all those who knew the old Bahadur Khan will testify that throughout my father's life, I was his favorite, entrusted with the responsibilities of government. Kadan busied himself with hunts and feasts to win over the more dissolute of my father's khans. str_nord_rebellion_pretender_story_1|I am called Ironhand for the strength of my axe in battle. I bring fear and death to all my foes. I have met and defeated Valdis, that coward, in a challenge of personal combat. As victor, by the rights of our heritage, I am owed a boon. I chose his lands and title, as was my right, but he refused to honor the traditions of our ancestors. str_rhodok_rebellion_pretender_story_1|The Citizens of the Empire are a free people, and not slaves to any hereditary monarch. The Imperator is chosen from amongst the leading noble families of our land, by a council drawn by lot from the patricians of the cities of Ethos, Cez and Janos. The council meets on a field before Janos, and no man is allowed to appear bearing arms during their deliberations, on pain of death. str_swadian_rebellion_pretender_story_2|When the plague struck down the royal family, only my great-great grandfather survived. He should have been declared the King of Pendor, but Duke Alfred whisked him away and sold him into slavery, proclaiming that he had died with the rest of the royal family. He finally escaped and returned to Pendor, only to find jackals ruling the lands in his stead. None would believe his words and he spent his life trying to claim his heritage. For four generations, my family has attempted to prove the truth of these claims, and we now have the proof we need. str_vaegir_rebellion_pretender_story_2|Since that day I have lived as a Knight of the Falcon, a valiant Knighthood order once based in Rane. Though I am a woman, I have proven myself worthy of knighthood, by valor on the field of battle. The day that I was knighted, Gregory outlawed the Order of the Falcon and put bounties upon all our heads. Those warriors would have followed me to claim my birthright, had any survived. str_khergit_rebellion_pretender_story_2|According to D'Shar custom, when a man dies, his possessions are split amongst all his sons, equally. When I heard of my father's death, I was away across the Western Sea on a diplomatic mission, but I hurried home to Torbah, ready to give Kadan his due and share the Principalities with him. When I arrived, I found that he had rushed his supporters to the court, and had himself proclaimed Bahadur Khan. str_nord_rebellion_pretender_story_2|We of the Fierdsvain are warriors born! We take what we want by the might of our axes! Valdis accepted my challenge and I beat him. I have a legitimate claim to the throne that, by the traditions of our ancestors, must be legally recognized. str_rhodok_rebellion_pretender_story_2|During the last selection, there were but two candidates, Lord Marius and me. While the council deliberated, Marius appeared, sword in hand, telling them that a D'Shar raiding party was about to descend on the field of deliberation -- which was quite true, by the way, since he had hired them -- and if he were not elected king, he would leave them to their fates. str_swadian_rebellion_pretender_story_3|I have the royal signet which is only activated by the blood of the royal line of Pendor. As you can clearly see, this ring glows with the sign of the Griffon, the signet of the line of Cavalas. I will admit that I did my cause no good by denouncing Ulric and all who refused to acknowledge my claim as traitors. No matter -- I will raise an army of loyal subjects, who honor the memory of Pendor's royal line. If any doubt the justice of my cause, I will prove them wrong and seize Ulrics' ill-gotten crown by force. str_vaegir_rebellion_pretender_story_3|Until my rights are restored in the sight of all the lords of the North, I will endeavor to thwart my brother, that usurper and false king of glorious Ravenstern. This I have sworn upon my sword and upon the grave of our father. One day he will fall to my blade on the field of battle and his treachery will be at an end. str_khergit_rebellion_pretender_story_3|My brother thinks the D'Shar only respect strength a leader who takes what he wants, when he wants it. I think he misunderstands the spirit of our people. We admire a resolute leader, but even more, a just one. A man who does not respect his own brother's rights cannot be trusted to respect the rights of the tribes. str_nord_rebellion_pretender_story_3|Valdis believes that the men of Fierdsvain will follow a weakling oath breaker. He is wrong! We respect strength and honor. I will raise an army and take what is due me, beginning with the lands that I have won and ending with his gold in my coffers and his women in my bed! str_rhodok_rebellion_pretender_story_3|Marius defeated the D'Shar, betraying those he had hired. As a Citizen of the Empire, I am grateful for all dead D'Shar, whether they are killed by valor or treachery. Once I am Imperator, I will myself place a laurel wreath upon his head, just before I remove it from his shoulders. He has proven himself a traitor, both to the Empire and our sacred traditions. str_swadian_rebellion_monarch_response_1|Darlion thinks he should be King of Sarleon? He's nothing but a young whelp with delusions of grandeur. He has no experience in ruling a kingdom, even if his claim was valid, which it is not. My grandsires heard and dismissed his family's fabricated claims over a hundred years ago. Those claims were invalid then, and his magicked little trinket does not make them valid today. str_vaegir_rebellion_monarch_response_1|If Ursula were a man, she would no doubt have been a strong King. But, she is not a man, and no self respecting warrior of the North will follow a woman. Further, she has taken up arms as a knight. No King accorded her that honor. I outlawed that Order of hers for overstepping their authority in granting her knighthood. str_khergit_rebellion_monarch_response_1|My brother Xerxes has doubtless told you of his plan to divide the Principalities, as though it were a herd of horses. I tell you this Ever since the D'Shar were nothing more than desert goatherds, the death of every Khan has produced the same result -- lands divided, the Khan's sons at war, and in the end, the strongest held it all. I merely avoided the inevitable civil war, which would have caused unnecessary D'Shar deaths. str_nord_rebellion_monarch_response_1|Inar Ironhand? Inar Ironbrain is more apt. You may have noticed that mentally, he is not the sharpest arrow in the quiver? Yes we had duelled a few years ago, a friendly drunken test of arms during a hunting trip. I knew I would lose, he is, despite his lack of of intelligence, a very strong warrior. I offered him a boon, thinking he would ask for a sword, or a purse of gold. I was shocked sober when he demanded my title and lands. I offered him his weight in gold and three of my slave girls to entertain him, but he flatly refused, and once again demanded the Fierdsvain. str_rhodok_rebellion_monarch_response_1|No doubt Demosthenes told you that I defied hallowed Empire custom by interfering with the patricians' election of their Imperator. Let me tell you something The patricians make longwinded speeches about our ancient liberties, and pretend to deliberate. They then choose as Imperator whichever noble last sat in their villa, sipping a fine wine, while promising to overlook their leanings towards the Snake Cult. str_swadian_rebellion_monarch_response_2|This is an old dispute between our families, but it was settled long ago. It demonstrates Our justice and mercy that We have not dealt more harshly with him and his claims. Do not waste time on his fables, when there are real threats at hand, from those who would put our people to the sword without a second thought. str_vaegir_rebellion_monarch_response_2|Whatever my father may or may not have done to secure the throne does not matter. I sit upon it, and that is final. If every old claim were to be brought up anew, if every man's inheritance could be called into question at any time, then it would be the end of the institution of kingship, and we would live in a state of constant civil war. str_khergit_rebellion_monarch_response_2|Xerxes would make a fine assessor of taxes, or adjudicator of land disputes. But, can you imagine such a man as Bahadur Khan? Our neighbors would seize our land in an instant, and we D'Shar would return to starving and freezing in what was once our own great desert. str_nord_rebellion_monarch_response_2|The tradition of victory through personal combat was fine when we were landless raiders out of Vanskerry and our survival depended upon our strength of arms. Today, our survival requires both strength and cunning. Inar has the cunning of a dead fish. My duty is to the Fierdsvain and my people, to my thegns who require gold and women to keep them happy. I tolerate this fool magnanimously, but if he presses his claim by force, I will teach him and his followers the difference between a war leader and a Koningur. str_rhodok_rebellion_monarch_response_2|The only liberty that concerns the Empire citizens is the liberty to grow fat. To protect them, my men sleep in the open, eating dry bread and salt fish, scanning the horizon for burning villages. They shed their blood to keep the caravan routes open.

I cannot retrieve it myself, so if you are interested I will sell it to you for a mere 200 denars. str_rumor_bonus_traveler_10|I have acquired a map which I could sell to you for 200 denars. It shows the location of a hidden cache in Valonbray that may have items which you could use. Interested? str_rumor_bonus_traveler_11|I came across this rare map to a hidden Red Brotherhood treasure cache. I don't want to fight the Red Brotherhood myself, so if you are interested I will sell it to you for a mere 200 denars. str_rumor_bonus_traveler_12|I have acquired a map which I could sell to you for 200 denars. It shows the location of a hidden Red Brotherhood treasure cache that may have very valuable items. Interested? str_rumor_talk_burilgi_1|He heard talk of a gathering of many tribes in the desert. str_rumor_talk_burilgi_2|He said that the D'Shar tribes whisper of uniting in support of some desert prophet who is supposedly in the grip of holy madness. str_rumor_talk_burilgi_3|He overheard people talk of the Prophet of the Desert and some say that the Usurper will put to the torch all that he deems unclean. str_rumor_talk_burilgi_4|He said that people are talking of a strange prophet gathering strength in the desert. str_rumor_talk_burilgi_5|Tales abound of a mad Prophet uniting numerous D'Shar tribesmen who are coming from the deep desert. str_rumor_talk_burilgi_6|People are talking of some madman in the deep desert who is allegedly stirring up the D'Shar. I hear the Bahadur Khan is most annoyed about the situation str_rumor_talk_burilgi_7|He encountered a band of D'Shar warriors heading into the deep desert to join a prophet named Burilgi. They were very intent and seemed in a hurry. str_rumor_talk_burilgi_8|He has heard that the desert Usurper Burilgi is reputed to use some kind of drug to enslave his followers. He deprives them of it before a battle, and they fight like wild beasts, because if they do not win, he tells them they will have no more of it. str_rumor_talk_burilgi_9|He came upon a camp of young men who were hunting for their relatives, nary a one over twelve years of age. They said that their fathers and brothers had deserted their clan to seek the Holy Prophet of the Desert. str_rumor_talk_burilgi_10|He came upon a poorly-dressed wanderer in his travels, who said he was the Herald of Burilgi the Destroyer. I am not sure who this Buriligi is, but he sounds ominous. str_rumor_talk_burilgi_11|He heard rumors that someone called Buriligi has gone mad from his religious beliefs, and foams at the mouth in a frenzy when he addresses his followers. str_rumor_talk_burilgi_12|He has overheard talk in the D'Shar Territories that Buriligi the Usurper never leaves his desert, but woe betide those who venture over the river near Torbah without his permission. str_rumor_talk_burilgi_13|He was accosted by two women calling themselves 徹men Seekers・ wanting to know if he had seen a white hawk. They said that they were on a vision quest given to them by the Desert Usurper. Very odd, don't you think? str_rumor_talk_burilgi_14|He spotted three women dressed for battle on swift steeds. They were riding into the desert at a full gallop. str_rumor_talk_alaric_1|He came across a group of men driving wagons filled with casks of ale, asking if he knew the whereabouts of Alaric von Brouhaha. str_rumor_talk_alaric_2|He said that there have been rumors of an uprising of sorts, with deserters and bandits joining an upstart bandit lord. str_rumor_talk_alaric_3|He came across a group of women in a wagon who were looking for the camp of the Glorious Army of Ale Drinkers. I have never heard of such a thing! str_rumor_talk_alaric_4|He encountered several peasants with sickles, hunting knives and pitchforks who were looking to join the army of Alaric Von Brouhaha. str_rumor_talk_alaric_5|The farmers and commoners are talking excitedly of a peasant general named Alaric who is challenging the King! str_rumor_talk_alaric_6|Two scouts stopped him and asked him about the whereabouts of the bloody outlaw Aleric Von Brouhaha. Of course he had no idea. str_rumor_talk_alaric_7|He was camped for a few days with a band of outlaws, who were debating whether or not to join the famous outlaw Alaric Von Brouhaha. str_rumor_talk_alaric_8|He came across three very inebriated soldiers, who found, got drunk, and subsequently lost the whereabouts of the camp of Alaric Von Brouhaha. str_rumor_talk_alaric_9|He claimed to have encountered someone named Alaric Von Brouhaha and was not allowed to escape until he was drunk to the point of illness. What a ridiculous tale! str_rumor_talk_alaric_10|He heard from a trader that someone named Alaric Von Brouhaha had raised an army of peasant rabble, complete with torches and pitchforks and drunk to boot. Preposterous! str_rumor_talk_alaric_11|He passed through a village which was almost deserted. One old man still there said that most of the villagers had left to join Alaric Von Brouhaha. str_rumor_talk_alaric_12|Alaric von Brouhaha drank every drop of ale in the inn yesterday, and there is none to be had here tonight. What a sot that peasant is! str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_1|He heard that one Wolfbode the Slayer claims that his god, Vejovis, visited him in a vision, and told him he would be his instrument to reclaim all Ravenstern for the Mystmountain clans. str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_2|He told me that Wolfbode the Slayer not only leads an army of his barbarian clansmen, but also recruits bandits and outlaws to fight for him. He promises them land in Ravenstern as a reward. str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_3|He said that merchants in the Ravenstern market whisper that Wolfbode the Slayer has sworn to eliminate every man, woman and child in Ravenstern, because that land belongs to his people, and only the clans may dwell there. str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_4|He heard from a trader that he saw a great army, led by a barbarian chief, just past Poinsbruk. He ran for his life and barely escaped them. He said the army seemed immense. str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_5|He laughed, and said a knight had told him that King Gregory soils his armor at the very thought of facing Wolfbode the Slayer. Hah, that is likely not the only foe he fears. He is probably even more afraid of Madam Ursula. str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_6|He said the Garrison Commander of Rane is reinforcing their troops, in case Wolfbode the Slayer attacks them. Bah, the clans do not besiege towns, they are just barbarian Raiders. str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_7|His story was of an outlaw, who told him that he deserted the army of Wolfbode the Slayer, because he thinks Wolfbode is insane. He supposedly claims to be possessed by that Mystmountain cat god, Vejovis. A likely story! str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_8|I heard a bandit say he heard Wolfbode the Slayer boast that his hand was guided by his god, Vejovis, who had promised him that all Ravenstern would soon belong to those bloody barbarian clans. str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_9|He said an acquaintance of his, a Ranger, told him that his entire warband was wiped out in less than ten minutes by the army of Wolfbode the Slayer. His Lord, of course, bought his own life with the lives of his men, who covered his retreat. str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_10|Rumor hath it that the Mystmountain Clans are united under a great warrior, Wolfbode the Slayer, who intends to conquer all Ravenstern for his people. str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_11|He was informed that even UllrVetr may fear the incursions of Wolfbode the Slayer into Ravenstern, for his god, Vejovis, fights with his army in the form of a ferocious mountain cat. str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_12|He told of a savage barbarian army, led by one Wolfbode the Slayer. He is reputed to be somewhere at large just above Ravenstern in the mountains. str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_13|He said that many mountain men, outlaws and bandits are flocking to the banner of a Mysmountain hero named Wolfbode. str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_14|He said that there have been many sightings of barbarian scouting parties which, in the past has been a sign of impending invasion. str_rumor_talk_wolfbode_15|He said that in Poinsbruk three women were abducted by a barbarian raiding party right under the watch commanders nose. Rumors are that it was Wolfbode himself who sneaked into the town. str_rumor_talk_kjuda_1|He said that a Sarleon militiaman discovered the bodies of some knights who had tangled with K'Juda the Ravager. Before they were tortured to death, their eyes had been gouged out. str_rumor_talk_kjuda_2|He heard tell that even the Jatu fear K'Juda the Ravager, because he executes his own men when he is angry, without warning. I wonder that anyone rides with him, if that is how he behaves to his own men! str_rumor_talk_kjuda_3|He said that one of the militia told him that they had captured a lone Jatu, who said one known as K'Juda the Ravager intended to unite all the Jatu tribes and move against Ravenstern. str_rumor_talk_kjuda_4|He heard from a trader how he came upon a band of dead Noldor in the forest. There was a javelin stuck in one of them, holding a proclamation from someone named K'Juda, stating that all Noldor would meet the same fate shortly. str_rumor_talk_kjuda_5|He overheard some Sarleon knights talking about a battle they had seen between the Noldor and some Jatu fellow. They said even the Noldor could not stand against the overwhelming forces of the Jatu. str_rumor_talk_kjuda_6|He heard rumors in Poinsbruk that the Jatu are being forcibly united under the banner of one K'Juda, called 'the Ravager' for his fearsome rages. str_rumor_talk_kjuda_7|He heard that a trader from Senderfall was here getting drunk last night. He had abandoned all his goods and fled from a pack of Jatu warriors led by someone called 'K'Juda.' str_rumor_talk_kjuda_8|He encountered a traveler a few nights back, ashen-pale and trembling. He said he had seen that Jatu, K'Juda, torturing a group of Ravenstern knights for information on Poinsbruk's defenses. He heard the screams from a furlong away. str_rumor_talk_kjuda_9|He has heard that K'Juda, that evil Jatu warlord, claims to be the earthly embodiment of the Jatu god, Indar. A fine god he must be - the Jatu claim he shoots them in the back in battle, if he thinks they are cowards. str_rumor_talk_kjuda_10|He heard that some of the Jatu are hiding out from K'Juda the Ravager, a Jatu warlord who plans to forcibly unite them all, and field them against the Sarleon army. str_rumor_talk_kjuda_11|He said that a fellow he knew, who sometimes trades with the Jatu tribes, says that soon they will take over Ravenstern, because their Lord, K'Juda, has promised them Indar will secure their Victory. str_rumor_talk_kjuda_12|He was told the Jatu are in turmoil just now, because not all of them wish to do the bidding of some warlord called 'K'Juda the Ravager.' Charming name, would you not say? str_rumor_talk_kjuda_13|He heard a trader say that the only good thing he ever heard about K'Juda the Ravager is his talent for killing Noldor, or so they say in Laria. They say he has a magic bow and never misses his target. str_rumor_talk_kjuda_14|He heard that K'Juda the Jatu likes to mount Noldor heads on poles outside his tent. I heard he had dozens of skulls there now. str_rumor_talk_kjuda_15|He heard that K'Juda the Ravager likes to inflict pain on his captives by torturing them. He likes to hear them scream for days before they finally die. str_rumor_talk_zulkar_1|he heard some Sarleon knights say that, for all Warlord Zulkar is a damned Jatu, he fights like a brave and honorable man. str_rumor_talk_zulkar_2|He heard the Jatu are voluntarily uniting under a powerful warlord, called Zulkar. He has promised to restore what the Jatu deem their 'lost glory.' str_rumor_talk_zulkar_3|He said that a rumor has it that the Jatu Warlord, Zulkar, fights more fiercely than a cornered lion. His skills are supposedly unsurpassed. str_rumor_talk_zulkar_4|He said that some say even the Noldor tread carefully when Warlord Zulkar is in their vicinity. As you doubtless know, the Jatu despise the Noldor. str_rumor_talk_zulkar_5|He heard from a Ravenstern Warden that the forces of Warlord Zulkar grow larger by the week, and that he plans to take all Pendor for his tribes to roam. str_rumor_talk_zulkar_6|He heard that Warlord Zulkar has whipped yet another of the Noldor Warbands. At this rate, he'll pitch his tent in the hidden Elven city before they know it. str_rumor_talk_zulkar_7|He heard that Warlord Zulkar has an honor guard so fierce that none can get past them. Of course, even if they did, there would still be Zulkar to deal with! str_rumor_talk_zulkar_8|He said that when the Jatu grow restless, they quote a proverb that tells of a Warlord of warlords who will arise to lead them. From what I hear, it has come to pass. str_rumor_talk_zulkar_9|He repeated that old saying, 'When the Jatu unite in force, trouble is on the hoof!' As per rumors in Laria, that is happening now. str_rumor_talk_zulkar_10|He said that even the Noldor fear the ferocity of Warlord Zulkar, though they grudgingly respect his battle prowess. str_rumor_talk_zulkar_11|He said that some hot-headed young Sarleon lords took on Warlord Zulkar not long ago. They will not be fielding armies again anytime soon, I would warrant. str_rumor_talk_zulkar_12|He has heard rumors that the Jatu, Warlord Zulkar, is at large upon the Jatu hills and plains, sweeping all before him with his powerful force. str_rumor_talk_zulkar_13|He heard that King Ulric fears Warlord Zulkar will own all Sarleon one day. str_rumor_talk_zulkar_14|He heard a story from a lone Ravenstern Ranger who was in a battle with the Jatu Warlord Zulkar. The Ranger fired an arrow from 50 paces at Zulkar and was certain that it would slay him. Zulkar caught the arrow with his hand, snapped it in two and continued fighting. str_rumor_talk_zulkar_15|He heard rumors that the Lords of Ravenstern are organizing a very large troop of Knights of the Dragon to deal with Warlord Zulkar. str_rumor_talk_oswald_1|He was informed by a reliable source that an Adventuring company, headed by one Oswald de Fleur, is causing great trouble in the Fierdsvain. str_rumor_talk_oswald_2|He has heard on the grapevine that the Ravenstern Lords will not challenge Oswald de Fleur, because they are afraid of him. str_rumor_talk_oswald_3|He asked if I had heard of Oswald de Fleur. He said that if you run into his company, never challenge him - you'll surely come to grief if you do. str_rumor_talk_oswald_4|He said that a Ravenstern trader told him that he had lost four caravans now to an adventure company led by Oswald de Fleur. His raiding has increased in frequency and the traders are furious. str_rumor_talk_oswald_5|He said that the Fierdsvain farmers have petitioned the Koningur to eliminate an adventurer known as Oswald de Fleur. He has raided their villages repeatedly. str_rumor_talk_oswald_6|He said that rumor hath it that even the Vanskerry Raiders prefer to avoid that adventurer, Oswald de Fleur. His shield is covered in the flayed skin of a Vanskerry Jarl, I've heard. str_rumor_talk_oswald_7|He said that one of the Ravenstern Warders told him that both the Koningur and King Gregory have offered a fine reward for the head of one Oswald de Fleur. str_rumor_talk_oswald_8|He mentioned that if rumor does not lie, Oswald de Fleur just defeated a group of Vanskerry Raiders three times the size of his own company. str_rumor_talk_oswald_9|He said that Oswald de Fleur, the mercenary Adventuring Company captain, usually deploys his men in small groups, but when they combine, beware! str_rumor_talk_oswald_10|He said that he encountered Oswald de Fleur and some of his men last week. They are a really scary lot. str_rumor_talk_oswald_11|He said that with just one glance from his cold, dead eyes, Oswald de Fleur can stop the boldest warrior in his tracks. str_rumor_talk_oswald_12|He said that if you have occasion to hire Oswald de Fleur, it is very wise to pay him exactly as agreed. He told a dreadful tale of what happens to those who cross him. str_rumor_talk_oswald_13|He heard a rumor that the Adventuring Companies under Oswald de Fleur have been summoned to unite for a secret mission. str_rumor_talk_oswald_14|He said that he ran into several landless Knights sent by Oswald de Fleur to discover the whereabouts of someone named {playername}. Would that be you? str_rumor_talk_oswald_15|He said that he encountered a squire who was in the service of Oswald de Fleur and had been summoned to join a large mercenary company forming near Windholm. str_rumor_talk_meregan_1|He said that company run by Meregan Kierlic has some damned hot women in it, but those lassies will kill you in a blink, if you offend them. str_rumor_talk_meregan_2|He has heard rumors that Meregan Kierlic, leader of the Griffonsword Company, would sell his own mother into slavery, if he could make a few denars on the deal. str_rumor_talk_meregan_3|He heard that an Empire Lord is now completely bankrupt from paying his ransom to Meregan Kierlic. str_rumor_talk_meregan_4|He told me that Meregan Kierlic researches the assets of the Fierdsvain Lords, so he knows to the last denar what to charge them for ransom. str_rumor_talk_meregan_5|He said that the Legionnaires would dearly love to get their hands on Meregan Kierlic. He captured twenty of their number and sold them into slavery because they refused to join his company. str_rumor_talk_meregan_6|He said that the Griffonsword Company will hire out for the right price, but you cannot trust them to stay loyal. str_rumor_talk_meregan_7|He had heard that those women in the Griffonsword Company, whew! They are as deadly as they are beautiful. Certainly, some of them are lookers, all right. str_rumor_talk_meregan_8|He heard that when an Empire Lord tried to engage the Griffonsword Company, Meregan Kierlic demanded 10,000 denars up front. When the Lord refused, he backhanded him and stalked from the hall. str_rumor_talk_meregan_9|He heard that the Griffonsword Company is apparently on a rampage in the Fierdsvain again. Supposedly, Meregan Kierlic is annoyed with the Koningur about something. str_rumor_talk_meregan_10|He said that the ladies of the Griffonsword Company are amazingly beautiful! And every one of them is a hardened killer, so I am told. str_rumor_talk_meregan_11|He heard a group of Maiden Noble deserted to join the Griffonsword Company because Meregan Kierlic treats all his troops equally, whether they be men or women. str_rumor_talk_meregan_12|He said that one of the Empire Lords decided to raid a caravan guarded by the Griffonsword Company. He will not try that again, I hear, even if he does recover from his wounds. str_rumor_talk_meregan_13|He said that he ran into a warrior missing his nose. One of the warrior women in the Griffonsword Company cut it off because he made lewd gestures to her in a tavern. str_rumor_talk_meregan_14|He said that he met a Maiden Noble who left the service of her lord to join the ranks of the Griffonsword Company. str_rumor_talk_meregan_15|He heard a rumor that the Empire Legionnaires are preferred targets of the women from the Griffonsword Company. Each Maiden Noble carries a small pouch on her belt, where she keeps her 'Legionnaire souvenirs'. str_rumor_talk_kodan_1|He said that every bandit in Pendor knows better than to attack a caravan escorted by Kodan Ironsword. Even the Vanskerry Raiders avoid him, and with good cause, from what I hear. str_rumor_talk_kodan_2|He has heard the local merchants are squealing like stuck pigs over the latest depredations of Kodan Ironsword. He has raided nine caravans in the last week, because the merchants refused to pay him 'protection' gold. str_rumor_talk_kodan_3|He said that, despite the fact that the Ironsword Company is largely composed of Vanskerry Raiders, the Lords all hire him to escort their wives when they travel. He's said to faithfully honor his oath to protect them. str_rumor_talk_kodan_4|He heard that the Koningur is thinking about hiring Kodan Ironsword to protect the coastal villages. I guess he figures it takes a pack of Vanskerry Raiders to beat another pack of them! str_rumor_talk_kodan_5|He heard that if you want protection from the Vanskerry Raiders, the Ironsword Company is what you need. That is nothing more than fighting fire with fire, in my opinion. str_rumor_talk_kodan_6|He said that a pack of Vanskerries in the Ironsword Company damned near wrecked the Valonbray tavern last week. Kodan Ironsword himself cannot control them when they drink. str_rumor_talk_kodan_7|He said that he had heard of an Vanskerry warband calling themselves the Ironsword Company. Apparently it is led by Kodan Ironsword, who is said to be more ferocious than a rabid bear. str_rumor_talk_kodan_8|He heard that the Koningur told some merchants who complained about the Ironsword Company just to pay off Kodan and shut up about it. At least, if they pay, their shipments will arrive. str_rumor_talk_kodan_9|He heard that most of the Fierdsvain Lords walk most carefully around Kodan Ironsword. He is reputed to be very quick to take offense at a careless comment. str_rumor_talk_kodan_10|He heard that fifty Vanskerry Raiders happened to see Kodan Ironsword's company headed towards them, and tripped over themselves getting back to their longboats. str_rumor_talk_kodan_11|He said the Koningur is already regretting paying off Kodan Ironsword, because he has now demanded an increase in pay, and hinted that lack of compliance will prove very costly to the Fierdsvain. str_rumor_talk_kodan_12|He heard that the Ironsword Company raided a fishing village and carried off every female there between the ages of twelve and twenty. I pity those poor girls from the bottom of my heart, indeed I do. str_rumor_talk_kodan_13|He said that if you run across the Ironsword Company, smile and pay what Kodan demands. You will live longer that way. str_rumor_talk_kodan_14|He said that he heard rumors about the amazing rune encrusted sword wielded by Kodan Ironsword, which can slice through armor like a hot knife through butter. str_rumor_talk_kodan_15|He heard rumors that the Vanskerry raiders have united under a Jarl named Kodan Ironsword who has formed them up as an Adventure Company. Who would have thought that? str_rumor_talk_syla_1|He has heard there is a new danger to watch out for in Sarleon, one Syla Uzas. He is reputed to kill just for the fun of it. str_rumor_talk_syla_2|He said that Syla Uzas is the most dangerous Rogue Knight plaguing Sarleon these days. He kills without mercy, and laughs as he does it. str_rumor_talk_syla_3|He says that rumor has it that Syla Uzas looted and burned an entire camp in the D'Shar Territories, because the peasants did not have sufficient supplies on hand to placate him. str_rumor_talk_syla_4|He has heard that the wisest course to follow with Syla Uzas is to avoid him like the plague. He is very, very dangerous. str_rumor_talk_syla_5|He said that a trader told him that Syla Uzas captured his caravan, killed all his guards and then left him stripped of even his clothes, to travel alone to the nearest town. str_rumor_talk_syla_6|If what he says about Syla Uzas is true, I would greatly fear to meet him. He is reputed to be a complete sociopath without a shred of mercy in him. str_rumor_talk_syla_7|He said that he heard from a trader from Avendor that Syla Uzas was at large near there, and all the villagers are screaming to their lords for protection from him. str_rumor_talk_syla_8|He has heard tell that even Kodan Ironsword avoids a fight with that lot of murderers led by Syla Uzas. I cannot imagine what could frighten a man like Kodan, and I prefer not to! str_rumor_talk_syla_9|He said that he was informed that even the Vanskerry Raiders run from Syla Uzas, because he has killed so many of their numbers. str_rumor_talk_syla_10|He heard that Syla Uzas is so fearsome that he puts new meaning into the name 'Rogue Knight.' That is certainly saying something. str_rumor_talk_syla_11|He said that he has heard that most people who see Syla Uzas coming immediately run the other way. He is utterly terrifying. str_rumor_talk_syla_12|He has heard people say that Syla Uzas likes to cut his enemies into little pieces and toss them into the sea. str_rumor_talk_syla_13|He said that he witnessed the legendary warrior, Syla Uzas, take on three rogue knights at once and defeat them all. str_rumor_talk_syla_14|He has heard that Syla Uzas is gathering knights to overthrow King Ulric of Sarleon. str_rumor_talk_syla_15|He has heard tell of a rogue knight named Syla Uzas who is both ruthless and entirely merciless in his quest for power and fame. str_rumor_talk_shalavan_1|He heard tell that a D'Shar Sheik was outlawed and is assembling an army of outlaw raiders on the D'Shar plains. str_rumor_talk_shalavan_2|He heard about the latest D'Shar blood feud. Some sheik or other was outlawed by the Bahadur Khan, and has sworn revenge against him. str_rumor_talk_shalavan_3|He heard that some D'Shar Sheik, Slaverer, or something like that, has begun to unite the D'Shar Outlaw Raiders against the Bahadur Khan. str_rumor_talk_shalavan_4|He said he heard in Torbah that the Bahadur Khan beheaded a man for joking about Sheik Shalavan in his presence. I guess it was not a very good joke, ha ha. str_rumor_talk_shalavan_5|He heard that the D'Shar outlaws are far bolder now that they follow Sheik Shalavan. Many of the D'Shar settlements fear them. str_rumor_talk_shalavan_6|He said that some D'Shar bandit has christened himself a 'Sheik' and has begun building an army out of the rabble in the D'Shar Territories str_rumor_talk_shalavan_7|He heard the Bahadur Khan sits uneasily on his throne, because some D'Shar rebel called Shalavan has sworn to take it from him. str_rumor_talk_shalavan_8|He said that one of the D'Shar horse merchants was in here the other day, and said that he almost lost his string on the way, to some raiders led by some bandit sheik or other. str_rumor_talk_shalavan_9|He heard on the grapevine that the D'Shar Khans may stop fighting amongst themselves long enough to mount a campaign against Sheik Shalavan. I doubt their truce will last very long. str_rumor_talk_shalavan_10|He heard in Nal Tar that Rafiq Bey was accosted by Sheik Shalavan, who demanded that he pay him tribute. That old tightwad would rather die than spend his gold, so I doubt he forked over a single denar. str_rumor_talk_shalavan_11|He said that word is that caravans to the D'Shar territories need an army as escort, else they never reach their destinations. Some sheik has taken to robbing every one that passes. str_rumor_talk_shalavan_12|He said that if gossip does not lie, there's real trouble brewing in the D'Shar Territories. Some fellow called Sheik Shalavan has an army of D'Shar Raiders poised to try for the throne. str_rumor_talk_shalavan_13|He said that he has seen many defections among the various tribes' warriors to join this outlaw D'Shar Sheik called Shalavan. str_rumor_talk_shalavan_14|He said that many Torbah warriors have left the Bahadur Khan to embrace the old ways of desert raiders under the banner of Sheik Shalavan. str_rumor_talk_shalavan_15|He said that Sheik Shalavan is recruiting Windriders from the various D'Shar tribes to overthrow Kadan Bahadur Khan. str_rumor_talk_boris_1|He heard tell of an army of vicious knights, led by one Boris the Raven, as he is known. It is said their savagery in battle is unrivaled. str_rumor_talk_boris_2|He said they wielded their morningstars so well that none could defeat them, and Boris the Raven is the strongest of them all! str_rumor_talk_boris_3|He heard from a knight that the only sane action, if you run across Boris the Raven, is to run like hell for your life. He does not take prisoners. str_rumor_talk_boris_4|He said that Boris the Raven fancies himself the greatest knight in Pendor, and challenges everyone he meets. He always wins, too. str_rumor_talk_boris_5|He said that a trader he knows witnessed the aftermath of a great battle between a Ravenstern Lord and Boris the Raven. The corpses lay thick on the ground str_rumor_talk_boris_6|He said that a knight of Senderfall told him that fighting Boris the Raven was an exercise in utter futility. An army twice the size of his cannot defeat him. str_rumor_talk_boris_7|He said that Boris the Raven rarely takes prisoners, but prefers to kill the wounded after a battle. He says wounded prisoners are too much trouble to keep alive. str_rumor_talk_boris_8|He informed me that an army, led by the infamous Boris the Raven, is now at large, ravaging the countryside. The Ravenstern Lords all fear him. str_rumor_talk_boris_9|He heard that the King himself fears to tackle Boris the Raven, because he becomes stronger daily, and the King fears a humiliating defeat. str_rumor_talk_boris_10|He heard from a traveling priest that Boris the Raven boasts that he will have Ravenstern first, then take all Pendor. str_rumor_talk_boris_11|He talked to a trader who was in the tavern where Boris the Raven was entertaining his men. He said that Boris was looking to challenge someone named {playername}. Looks like you caught the attention of someone interesting. str_rumor_talk_boris_12|He said that a tavernkeeper told him that Boris the Raven's favorite toast is 'To death, destruction and victory with no survivors.' He sounds very dangerous to me. str_rumor_talk_boris_13|He heard rumors that Boris the Raven has eyes of two different colors, one black, the other light blue. He stands 7 feet tall and can break a man in half with ease. str_rumor_talk_boris_14|He heard that Boris the Raven broke with the tradition of the Knights of the Raven Spear and now has created a schism in the Order. Dozens of those Knights have sworn allegiance to him! str_rumor_talk_boris_15|He has heard that Boris the Raven and his Rogue Knights are the best in all of Pendor. They can take any castle with their siege crossbows and heavy armor! str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_1|He said the Noldor were fighting under a new warlord, name of Aeldarian, or something like that. The Noldor always mean trouble. str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_2|He said that a trader told him about a Noldor Warlord, Aeldarian, who has no patience with human encroachments onto their turf. str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_3|He said that one of the Empire Lords had a dust-up with the Noldor, and had the bad luck to run into Warlord Aeldarian. He was badly beaten. str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_4|He has heard that the Noldor Aeldarian is reputed to hate the Jatu more than the other humans in Pendor. He shows them no mercy. str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_5|He has heard that Noldor warlord, Aeldarian, won't ransom prisoners when he takes them. He forces his prisoners to join him or die. str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_6|He came across two militiaman who said they chased some forest bandits into Noldor territory, but did not follow them. He figured Warlord Aeldarian would take care of them. str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_7|He heard that one of the Noldor warlords despises humans and won't tolerate their presence in Noldor territory. str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_8|He said that the traders no longer travel through the woods near Laria, because with Warlord Aelderian patrolling the woodlands, the Noldor have gotten extremely aggressive in defense of their territory. str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_9|He said that rumor has it that Warlord Aeldarian laughs in glee each time one Pendor faction declares war on another. He would be happy if we all killed each other, if rumor does not lie. str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_10|He heard from a wounded forest bandit that Warlord Aeldarian's warband killed forty of their number in the woods outside Laria. str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_11|He said the Noldor, under Warlord Aeldarian, have been mixing it up with the Jatu again. If the story I heard is true, the Jatu had the worst of it. str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_12|He said that if we travel through the woods outside Laria, take care. He has heard that the Noldor Warlord, Aeldarian challenges all who venture there. str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_13|He has heard the Noldor are venturing more boldly into the Empire, these days, under the leadership of someone named Aeldarion. str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_14|He has heard that Aeldarian, the famous Noldor Warlord, has a wonderous bow in his possession. Thunder echoes when he fires an arrow. str_rumor_talk_aeldarian_15|He heard that the Noldor, led by the Warlord Aeldarian, are raiding the Jatu for their horses. I wonder why they want Jatu animals, when their own are so fast. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_1|He was told that Ithilrandir, the Noldor, is not as anti-human as most of his ilk. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_2|He heard from a bowman that he was released by Ithilrandir after his Lord lost a battle to him. Honor of that sort from a Noldor is rare. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_3|He heard the Noldor have another warlord, one Ithilrandir, who seems to be more tolerant towards our kind than most of his cohorts. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_4|He said that in the Empire, word is that Marius is grateful for the assistance provided by a Noldor Warlord, Ithilrandir, in the fight against the Snake Cult. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_5|He heard the King in Sarleon has backed off on fighting the Noldor, because they are fighting the Jatu, and that benefits us all. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_6|He heard that the Noldor Warlord, Ithilrandir, is a just and honorable man, if you can call a Noldor a 'man.' They really are not fully human at all. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_7|He said that a bard told him that the Noldor came from some island far from Pendor, that they themselves destroyed by magic, even though they have no real magic now. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_8|He said that word from Laria is that Ithilrandir, some Noldor warlord, has just about eliminated all the forest bandits in the Woods of Laria. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_9|He heard in Poinsbruk that a Noldor Warlord, Ithilrandir, chased a band of Jatu damned near to the Poinsbruk city gates. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_10|He heard that in the Empire, a lot of the villagers like the Noldor, and that Warlord Ithilrandir recruits in the villages there, when the Lords are not looking. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_11|He said that a Ranger told him that the Noldor Rangers are absolutely amazing. He claims their range and accuracy is uncanny. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_12|He heard that if you rescue Noldor prisoners and free them, that Ithilrandir will reward you with unchallenged passage through the Woods of Laria. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_13|He said that the Noldor look down on humans because they think us no better than uncivilized animals. They think mighty well of themselves, they do. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_14|He said that he has seen the Noldor Warlord Ithilrandir draw his bow and slay a fully armored knight with a single arrow. Such news makes me uneasy. str_rumor_talk_ithilrandir_15|He said that a Knight from Laria who challenged the Noldor Ithilrandir was cut in two with a single slash of his massive two-handed sword. I did not know that such a feat was even possible. str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_1|He said that a wounded knight told him a terrifying tale of creatures whose faces resembled rotten meat, led by a fearsome creature called Eyegrim the Devourer. str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_2|He said that a limping bandit told him his men had run across a hideous creature called Eyegrim the Devourer. He barely escaped with his life, and more than thirty of his mates were slain. Their horrible screams could be heard for miles. str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_3|He said that a troubadour told him that the army of Eyegrim the Devourer eats the corpses of their slain foes. Eyegrim is said to pull the hearts from still-living captives because he prefers his meat fresh. str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_4|He heard from a healer that it is almost impossible to heal wounds inflicted by Eyegrim the Devourer. He coats his weapons in poisonous filth that causes the wounds to rot. str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_5|He heard that the Snake Cult Priestesses fear Eyegrimm the Devourer, for his followers can best even their Anaconda Knights. str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_6|He heard that a fearsome army of undead, led by one Eyegrim the Devourer, has invaded Pendor. As if we do not have trouble enough here already. str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_7|He heard that the peasants in the Fierdsvain guard their graveyards now, for fear that Eyegrim the Devourer will raise their dead for his army. str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_8|He encountered a trader who came across a knight missing one arm, dying where he lay. He told the trader that Eyegrim the Devourer had torn off his arm and eaten it before his very eyes. str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_9|He heard that a D'Shar Khan is rumored to thank his god, Vata, daily that his horse was fleet enough to outrun Eyegrim the Devourer. His warband perished defending his retreat. str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_10|He said that rumors tell of a D'Shar tribal camp overrun by Eyegrim the Devourer and his army. It stands empty now because Eyegrim and his army ate every last man, woman and child in it, some while they were still alive. str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_11|He said that even the Bahadur Khan himself pisses his armor in fear, when he has word that Eyegrim the Devourer is in D'Shar territory. str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_12|He heard rumors that Eyegrim the Devourer had boasted that he looked forward to meeting someone called {playername}, because he fancied eating the still-beating hearts of brave warriors. str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_13|He heard some nobles curse those Heretics to a fiery eternity for summoning the unstoppable Eyegrim the Devourer. str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_14|He heard that the Heretics were trying to summon a very strong demon called Eyegrim the Devourer to this world. Gods help us if they are successful! str_rumor_talk_eyegrim_15|He said that he met a Heretic Confessor, alone and clearly frightened, racing for the mountains to escape the Heretic priests' nefarious plans. The Confessor was unaware of their plan initially, but once he heard of it, deserted to save not only his life but his very soul! str_rumor_talk_dread_1|He said that a trader came across a dying Legionnaire, whose last words were of a fearsome Legion, led by the Snake Cult, so large he could not count their numbers. str_rumor_talk_dread_2|He has heard it rumored in the Empire that even Marius, with all his army, fears to tackle the Dread Legion, for they cannot be defeated. The Empire may yet fall to the Snake Cult, if this story is true. str_rumor_talk_dread_3|He was told in the Empire that the Snake Cult has invaded Pendor with an army too large to defeat. They are capturing everyone who crosses their path, for sacrifice to their hideous goddess. str_rumor_talk_dread_4|He has heard some people say that the Dread Legion is really the elite Third Legion the old Empire once sent to defeat the Snake Cult uprising, but were never heard from again. str_rumor_talk_dread_5|He said that the Anaconda Knights of the Dread Legion are five times stronger than any knight in Pendor, and no one can stand against them str_rumor_talk_dread_6|He was traveling in the Empire last week, and an Empire Horseman fleeing the Dread Legion told him to run for his life because there was no point in standing against their evil numbers.' str_rumor_talk_dread_7|He heard that the kiss of a Snake Cult Priestess brings instant death. They are said to imbibe poison from childhood onward, as part of their revolting rites. Their very breath can slay a man, or so he was told. str_rumor_talk_dread_8|He bumped into a fellow from Janos the other day. The man told him that the Snake Cult Priestesses are taken from Empire villages as young girls, and trained up from childhood to kill. The snake venom they feed them perverts their minds to unthinking devotion to their goddess. str_rumor_talk_dread_9|He said that someone whispered to him that the Dread Legion seeks one {playername}, to avenge the Snake Cultists slain by {reg63?his her} warband. It is said that {reg63?he she} is to be taken alive and delivered to their goddess for a terrible punishment. You've made some powerful enemies there. str_rumor_talk_dread_10|He said that he inadvertently overheard a conversation in the Cez tavern about a huge army, the Dread Legion, which has invaded the Empire. All who encounter them are slain or taken captive. str_rumor_talk_dread_11|He said that it is rumored in the Empire that a Dread Legion, composed of numerous Snake Cultists, fights under the aegis of Azi Dahaka, their terrifying goddess, whose power makes them invincible. str_rumor_talk_dread_12|He has heard that in the Empire the goddess of the Snake Cult, Azi Dahaka, takes the form of a huge hooded cobra and directs her Dread Legion in their slaughter. str_rumor_talk_dread_13|I'm not sure I believe this tale, but he said that there is talk in the Empire of an invading army called the Dread Legion, filled with Snake Cult Priestesses and their Anaconda Knights. str_rumor_talk_dread_14|He said that he heard rumors that the Dread Legion used to be the Imperial Guard of the old Baccus Empire, before their souls were consumed by the Snake Goddess prior to the collapse of the Empire. str_rumor_talk_dread_15|He has heard that the snake priestesses are talking of the arrival of the Dread Legion, the unstoppable army of the Snake Cult's unholy mother. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_1|He said that a friend of his spotted three women dressed for battle on swift warhorses. They were riding near Marleons at full gallop. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_2|He said that a knight told him that he narrowly escaped being seduced by the sweet words of three beautiful women commanding and army. He managed to escape, but two of his friends were trapped into serving in the ranks of the Three Seers. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_3|He said that a Fierdsvain farmer in the market told him that he had seen a huge army, composed mostly of women, riding past Mistmire Castle before dawn last week. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_4|He said that the chief steward of the Koningur was in the Javiksholm tavern dead drunk the other night. He said that his Koningur prays to Thallo that those Seer-women will stay in Sarleon so he does not have to take action against them. He is not sure he can defeat an army that large. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_5|He said that he heard tell of a merchant house of 'Felin' that was having shady dealings with the Red Brotherhood. Their thuggery will certainly cause the nobility of Sarleon to turn against them soon. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_6|He said that the order of the Red Fletchers held an archery tournament in Avendor, and a Ravenstern chap put them all to shame. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_7|He said the knighthood order of the Boar were sponsoring their annual hunt. That hunt has been going on every year for over 20 summers. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_8|He told me some rumors about a minor Sarleon noble house of 'Morgan' that have been at odds with King Ulric for some time. There is no love lost between them. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_9|I have no idea what a 'Doomguide' might be, but he said that several of them were in the area the other night. They were armed to the teeth, and were asking questions about Nobles in the area. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_10|He said that he was accosted by two women calling themselves 'Doomguides,' asking if he had seen a renegade Knight. That is odd, I think. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_11|He said that he heard about an army of women led by three seers who encountered the Sarleon Knighthood order of the Owl. They apparently met for tea in an open field then afterwards the Knights just rode away. Good thing, the knights were outnumbered over 20 to 1, so perhaps discretion is indeed the better part of valor. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_12|Our problems in Pendor never cease. He said that some pack of crazy females, calling themselves 'Seers,' has raised a monstrous army. They enslave the unwary... be careful if you run into them. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_13|It is rumored that in the swamps north of Mistmire Castle, three ancient and powerful Sorceresses have a hidden lair. He hears they trick the unwary into becoming their slaves. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_14|He ran across a half-starved warrior just outside of Avendor. The man raved about escaping his demonic lover in the swamps north of Mistmire. He thought the warrior mad until he exhibited the hand of a guard he had overpowered to escape. The hand he showed as proof of his escape was not entirely human. str_rumor_talk_sisters3_15|He said the villagers near Mistmire fear and avoid the marshes near the castle because something very evil is lurking there. str_rumor_talk_inquisitor_1|He has heard there is a devoted sect of holymen who are purging the lands of heathens, with a leader no-less! str_rumor_talk_inquisitor2|He said that Rasmus Devatica shows no mercy to the people in D'Shar lands, that no one is safe in the south! str_rumor_talk_inquisitor_3|He says that rumor has it that men of the Inquisition burned an entire camp in the D'Shar Territories, because they found one heretic amongst the peasants. str_rumor_talk_inquisitor_4|He has heard that the wisest course to follow when encountering Holy Inquisitor Rasmus is to flea from his merciless visage. str_rumor_talk_inquisitor_5|He said that a trader told him that Inquisitor Rasmus captured his caravan, stole his goods, and left him there stark naked, all because The Inquisition was in need of donations for 'the cause.' str_rumor_talk_inquisitor_6|If what he says about Rasmus Devatica is true, he and his holy order will find a reason to purge you from this world. He sees the heretic within us all. str_rumor_talk_inquisitor_7|He said that he heard from a trader from Torbah that Inquisitor Devatica was at large near there, and all the villages calling for their lords for protection from him. str_rumor_talk_inquisitor_8|He has heard tell that even Sheik Shalavan avoids a fight with that lot of murderers led by this 'holy' inquisitor. I cannot imagine what could frighten a man like Shalavan, and I prefer not to! str_rumor_talk_inquisitor_9|He said that he was informed that even the Eventide Knights dare not attack Rasmus. That they fear what happens if they survive well-enough to be captured.. str_rumor_talk_inquisitor_10|He heard that no one expects the Holy Inquisition. str_rumor_talk_inquisitor_11|He said that he has heard that if Eyegrim and Rasmus we're to compete in a staring contest, Eyegrim would explode of holy fire! str_rumor_talk_inquisitor_12|He has heard people say that Devatica himself likes to interrogate heretics. Who knows behind closed doors? str_rumor_talk_inquisitor_13|He said that he witnessed the legendary inquisitor, Rasmus Devatica, take on three Heretic Invokers at once and defeat them all. str_rumor_talk_inquisitor_14|He has heard that Inquisitor Rasmus is gathering priests and mercenaries to fight with heretics and heathens. str_rumor_talk_inquisitor_15|He has heard tell of an inquisitor named Rasmus Devatica, who is merciless in his quest for converting heretics. str_rumor_talk_eventide_1|he heard a young man proselytizing on a street corner 'There is a secret war in Pendor! What we mistake for Heretics are actually the crusaders of Eventide! They are here to liberate us from the tyranny of kings and priests! We can be free men again! Glorious beneath the eyes of our Goddess!' Yet, even as he said these things, the crowd stoned him. str_rumor_talk_eventide_2|he heard from a woodsman outside Sarleon that the Heretics are not alone. It seems they're guided by an order of fierce knights who can slaughter militia with unparalleled ease. While hiding in the woods, he saw them butcher a platoon of halberdiers. As the sun set, he heard unsatiated bloodlust in their cries of victory. str_rumor_talk_eventide_3|he heard from an Ehlerdah peasant that Baron Gaidon's father is still alive, but has become a recluse. Apparently, he never leaves his manor and only allows one trusted valet to attend him. Nobody is supposed to talk about it, but the whole village knows. His arms and legs were torn off, and now he mutters all day, terrified, 'Eventide, Eventide.' str_rumor_talk_eventide_4|he heard a Heretic yelling from the stake, 'Erida will welcome me in my next life! The fire at my feet is the warmth of her touch! I will know the pleasure of her embrace, while you in Pendor suffer! Verily, all Pendor shall suffer! The Circle of Thorns is upon your head! Erida's twilight descends upon this benighted land, and Eventide shall wash you away! str_rumor_talk_eventide_5|he heard from a man-at-arms that the Heretics' leaders come from Barclay, across the sea. This tidbit came from two knights, each adorned in splendid armor with a sunrise insignia. They had also sailed from Barclay, sent to hunt the Heretics' leaders. They call themselves The Knights of Dawn and they also seek the rebels of Eventide. str_rumor_talk_eventide_6|he spoke with a thin young woman who once tended the tavern outside Foxstead. One night--just as the sun was setting--three black-clad knights sauntered in. The patrons fell dead quiet, averting their eyes. 'Give us thirteen barrels!' one of the knights shouted. When the barkeep protested that he did not have so much ale, they slaughtered all the patrons and and drained the dead men's mugs before vanishing into the night. str_rumor_talk_eventide_7|he encountered a vagrant huddled in an alleyway. 'They're watching me, sirrah! Everywhere, their eyes are everywhere! They watch me through the crows, through the bats, through the wolves! Eventide is here, sirrah! Eventide has come to Pendor! str_rumor_talk_eventide_8|he heard from a vegetable vendor that beets are becoming a scarce commodity. Ever since the Heretics took a fancy to them, the rest of Pendor has been hard pressed to keep the roots guarded. Nobody knows what those fanatics are planning, but it's been suggested that the beets' red juice resembles blood... and their guardians, The Knights of Eventide, savor every drop of it. str_rumor_talk_eventide_9|he heard from a caravan guard that Pendor is under siege, not from a foreign military, but from an outlaw band of knights. They work in tandem with The Heretics. On his last trip, his caravan visited three villages laid to waste by these self-proclaimed Knights of Eventide. str_rumor_talk_eventide_10|he heard from a Ravenstern Ranger that The Knights of Eventide have powerful witchcraft at their disposal. He emptied his full quiver into one of the knights, more arrows protruding from his back than quills from a porcupine, and still the monster rode on, slaughtering the men of Ravenstern with unflinching ease. str_rumor_talk_eventide_11|he heard from a wild-eyed peasant that The Knights of Eventide breathe the night as the living breathe the air. It is their essence, their soul. And when they whisper their horrible thoughts, it comes out not as warm breath, but as a chill breeze of death. str_rumor_talk_eventide_12|he heard from a red-eyed miller that he hadn't slept in thirteen days, and if he could help it, he would never sleep again. He no longer trusted the night. It was THEIR time. It was the hour of Eventide. str_rumor_talk_eventide_13|he overheard soldiers at Poinsbruk saying that their latest shipment of weapons is six days late. Their quartermaster fears the worst The Knights of Eventide have intercepted yet another arms caravan. str_rumor_talk_eventide_14|he heard a peasant boy weeping that his parents haven't returned in four nights. The other villagers suspect they've been abducted by Eventide, either to be sacrificed or forcibly converted. str_rumor_talk_eventide_15|he heard a Ravenstern ranger say that now even wolves fear the approach of night. That has become the hour of Eventide. str_rumor_talk_eventide_16|he heard that arms merchants have doubled--and in some cases tripled--the number of guards they bring with them. Rumor has it that the Knights of Eventide are gearing up for a major campaign, and they need weapons. str_rumor_talk_eventide_17|he heard that some clever bandits have begun to wear crude imitations of Eventide armor. Apparently, that's all they need to frighten merchants into submission. str_rumor_talk_eventide_18|he heard from a scholar in Ethos that the Knights of Eventide have more in common with the Order of Dawn than either will admit... She believes they may even be working together, one terrifying the people of Pendor so that the other can justify its growing tyranny. str_rumor_talk_eventide_19|he heard from a woodmen in Sarleon that late at night, the Knights of Eventide will howl at the moon, and the most ferocious of them will actually take on the visage of wolves. He even saw them eat the flesh of another human being. str_rumor_talk_eventide_20|he heard from fletcher in Janos that the leader of the Knights of Eventide has sold his humanity to gain immortality. Now, in order to survive, he must eat the souls of virgins, but only when the moon is full or when summer turns to fall. str_rumor_talk_eventide_21|he heard from a wounded swordsman that he once worked for the Knights of Eventide, but when he saw their leader Kadrin drinking blood on the battlefield, he slipped away and never returned. Now, whenever he hears a bat squeak, he fears his life is about to end. str_rumor_talk_eventide_22|he heard from a captured Heretic that the Knights of Eventide will rescue him, and that those who stand in the way of Erida Occisor will die. Three days later, a prison guard stabbed the other guards in the back, slaughtered every prisoner in the keep and then slit his own throat. str_rumor_talk_eventide_23|he said a poor peasant told him of the destruction wrought on his village by a band of Knights of Eventide. Or was it the Knights of Dawn? I forget. str_rumor_talk_eventide_24|he said that the Knights of Eventide are nothing more than closet Heretics posing as a knightly order. str_rumor_talk_eventide_25|he said he once knew a Knight of Dawn, but the man switched Orders and is now a Knight of Eventide due to some kind of ideological differences. str_rumor_talk_eventide_26|he said Sir John, a Sarleon Knight, claims that a Knight of Eventide is just a Knight of Dawn who has given up all pretense of being virtuous. str_rumor_talk_eventide_27|he said that an Empire Legionnaire told him that the Demon warriors are child's play to fight compared to the Knights of Eventide. str_rumor_talk_eventide_28|he said a Ravenstern Knight said that the Order of Dawn embraced their twisted path of zealotry in reaction to the heresy of the Knights of Eventide. He also said they are proud of their fanaticism. str_rumor_talk_eventide_29|he said it is the dream of most Heretics to join the Order of the Knights of Eventide. str_rumor_talk_eventide_30|he said the scholar, Martin Stryker, wrote in 'Justice or Injustice, a story of the Rising Sun' that Sir Godfroi was burned for heretical research into Erida Occisor. He also noted that Godfroi's death caused the Order to split into the factions of Dawn and Eventide. str_rumor_talk_eventide_31|he said that the real reason the Knights of Eventide left the Order of Dawn was that vow of Chastity. Don't blame them either! str_rumor_talk_eventide_32|he said a female friend of his had fallen in love with Sir Alistair, that villainous Knight of Eventide. I wonder why the ladies always prefer the bad ones! str_rumor_talk_eventide_33|he heard a speech by a Knight of Eventide, it sounded like this, 'something something something... Dark Side.' str_rumor_talk_eventide_34|he heard it said that when the first Knight of Eventide was burned for heresy he was heard to shout 'And thus the first sacrifice is made'. Ironic that it was the Knights of Dawn who burned him. str_rumor_talk_eventide_35|he said that there were posters out offering a reward for the apprehension of some knight called Sir Roland. Apparently, both the Orders of Dawn, and Eventide want him dead. He must be a truly evil man. str_rumor_talk_eventide_36|he knew a traveller from Barclay, who claimed that things were bad in Barclay. Caravans and villages just disappear off the face of the earth, and people sometimes stumble upon gruesome scenes of sacrifice. He described piles of skulls, bones circling a pit of entrails, and the overpowering stench of blood and burning flesh. str_rumor_talk_eventide_37|he asked what was more forgivable, killing innocents because of your beliefs, or killing innocents because of their beliefs? This is at the root of the war between the Orders of Dawn and Eventide. str_rumor_talk_dawn_1|he heard from the Valonbray armorer that a new order of knights moved into his city, knights who refuse to patronize any of the local smiths. Apparently they brought their own craftsmen from across the sea, and these men forge-- even he admits--the finest swords and armor Pendor has ever seen. That armor is emblazoned with a rising sun, so keep your eyes peeled. str_rumor_talk_dawn_2|he heard that the Fierdsvain nobles are in an uproar over some new knighthood order. They sailed into Valonbray a few years back and have been stirring up trouble ever since. Apparently, they came to Pendor to kill Heretics, which is all fine and good, except they've been burning entire villages in the process. They even killed Lord Oakshield's son for interfering! str_rumor_talk_dawn_3|he spoke with a merchant who nearly lost his life to the Heretics. They had been slowly torturing the man, smiling at his shrieks of agony. As his vision faded, the ground began to tremble and heavy horses galloped forth from the dawn, sweeping the Heretics away as the sun swept away the night's shadows. str_rumor_talk_dawn_4|he heard from a wandering swordsman that there is a new order of knights in Pendor. Unlike the boisterous warriors he drinks with, these knights are as stern and quiet as death itself. He saw one get in a scrape once, and when the dust settled, seven of his assailants lay in puddles of blood. The knight walked away, unscathed but for the blood spattered across his shield, obscuring its sunrise insignia. str_rumor_talk_dawn_5|It seems that Earl Aedin Redsword has reached an agreement with the self proclaimed Queen Agnus of the Vanskerry! Her Freebooters are sworn to his service! str_rumor_talk_dawn_6|he heard from a drunken fishmonger that one should never take Astraea's name in vain. If they hear of it, the Order of Dawn will abduct your son as penance, putting him to work in their stables. Worst of all, the boy will end up as fanatical as his masters. str_rumor_talk_dawn_7|he heard from the Javiksholm goods merchant--a fellow known to crack a good joke--that The Knights of the Dawn are the most humorless bastards in Pendor. They even threatened to confiscate his goods if he did not shut up. str_rumor_talk_dawn_8|he heard a potato farmer say that his son was beheaded by a Knight of Dawn for failing to bow before the Order's grandmaster, Dalon Valchance. str_rumor_talk_dawn_9|he overheard a Heretic say to his captors, 'You're with the Order of Dawn, yes? Then we're not so different, you and I. We both want to see a goddess return to this world, no matter what the cost.' In response, the knights beat him bloody. str_rumor_talk_dawn_10|he heard from a woodcutter outside Sarleon that even though he's a devout worshiper of Eunomia Stabilitis, he pretends to follow Astraea, instead--just to keep the Order of Dawn from coming after him. str_rumor_talk_dawn_11|he heard from a pearl-diver in Valonbray that his wife was burned at the stake by the Order of Dawn. They suspected she was a heretic, tortured her, then stood her before a tribunal of monks, who forced her to admit to sins she had never committed. They then burned her. str_rumor_talk_dawn_12|he heard from a squire in Sarleon that the Knights of Dawn can out-maneuver even King Ulric's personal bodyguard. str_rumor_talk_dawn_13|he heard from an outspoken peasant that Bryn of Ravenstern could single-handedly rid her nation of the Order of Dawn, but she'd rather not fight until her son is full grown. When he heard this, he told the peasant not to spread such dangerous rumors, as the Order of Dawn might put Bryn before an Inquisition if they hear the rumors. str_rumor_talk_dawn_14|he heard from a linen trader that the Order of Dawn has begun inspecting all goods that pass through Valenbray. Rumor has it that the Heretics have begun smuggling weapons to their brethren in Barclay. str_rumor_talk_dawn_15|he met a pikeman with a story to tell. He narrowly escaped a raid by the Knights of Eventide and in hiding, watched his comrades die. When the Order of Dawn rode over the horizon, he thought they were saved. Not so. The Knights of Dawn vanquished their adversaries, then butchered his friends... just in case one was a Heretic in disguise. str_rumor_talk_dawn_16|he heard from a Barclay diplomat that the Knights of Dawn were once a noble order, but in the past century became corrupted by their own virtue. Now, the nobility of his nation were simply eager to be rid of them, so sent them on a 'mission' to Pendor to be rid of them. str_rumor_talk_dawn_17|he heard from a harlot in Valonbray that business has gotten significantly worse since the Order of Dawn established itself in town. She had expected the new knights would be eager for her company, but they spurn her propositions as if she had the plague. str_rumor_talk_dawn_18|he heard from a barkeep in Valonbray that the Knights of Dawn come into his establishment often for the dartboard, but never actually buy a drink. The one time a knight did, the fool got drunk off three pints and started smashing the place up. A few days later, the poor sod was expelled from his order and subsequently found dead by his own hand. str_rumor_talk_dawn_19|he heard a Knight of Dawn say that before long Astraea will come to Pendor and cleanse it of its sins via the Knights of Dawn. His own family was slaughtered by bandits, but in a world governed by Astraea, villains like that will burn before they can ever take up a sword. str_rumor_talk_dawn_20|he said a Mettenheim Greatswordsman told him that the Knights of Dawn are the true power in Barclay. str_rumor_talk_dawn_21|he said a Knight of the Radiant Cross told him their former allies, the Knights of Dawn, were guilty of many crimes. He witnessed their burning of a village after they slaughtered all the peasants there. str_rumor_talk_dawn_22|he said a friend told him there is little difference between the Knights of Dawn and Eventide. Both Orders are composed of religion-addled, murderous bastards. Interestingly, his friend went missing soon after. str_rumor_talk_dawn_23|he said rumor held there was a mysterious third faction involved in the dispute between the Knights of Dawn and the Knights of Eventide, though he knew nothing of this third group. str_rumor_talk_dawn_24|he said a fisherman told him the Knights of Dawn requisitioned his fishing boat to transport troops and weaponry from Barclay. He never saw a denar in return from those bloody thieves. str_rumor_talk_dawn_25|he said a local barman told him that the Knights of Dawn and Eventide were once both the same Order. The Order of Pink Pansies. str_rumor_talk_dawn_26|he said a priest of Astraea told him that the Order of Dawn and Eventide were once as one, but both had forsaken their true purposes. str_rumor_talk_dawn_27|he said that even the purest can be corrupted, witness the current state of those Knights of Dawn. str_rumor_talk_dawn_28|he said a wandering minstrel told him of a village ravaged by the Knights of Dawn. Not one peasant survived. str_rumor_talk_dawn_29|he said he asked him, which is worse A brigand murdering to keep his children fed, or a knight killing innocents in the name of 'justice'? str_rumor_talk_dawn_30|he said he once met a very gracious Knight named Roland. He was true paragon of what the Knights of Dawn once stood for. Sir Roland said he'd left the Order of Dawn. Now, they've put a price on his head for desertion and theft of his equipment and horse. str_rumor_talk_dawn_31|he said a Ravenstern Ranger told him a Knight of Dawn seized his bow and broke it, claiming it was the god, UllrVetr, manifested. The ranger killed the knight, ambushed him from cover with his new bow! str_rumor_talk_dawn_32|he said a Knight of the Raven Spear told a great joke; two Knights, one of the Radiant Cross and one of the Dawn plus a Huscarl meet in a tavern. The Radiant Cross knight first orders a bottle of wine... for medicinal purposes. The Huscarl then buys a strong rum, and immediately challenges all those present to a drinking contest. Finally, the Knight of Dawn steps up and buys the entire stock of whiskey. He then dumped it over the heads of the other two, set it aflame and walked out of the tavern laughing. str_rumor_talk_dawn_33|he said a D'Shar tribesman once described a Fierdsvain clansman with a 'fiery beard'. Unfortunately, a Knight of Dawn overheard and misunderstood. He immediately began slaughtering nearby Fierdsvainers to purge them of their heretical practice of sacrificing their beards to the gods of Flame. str_rumor_talk_dawn_34|he said a Knight of the Dawn once reprimanded a friend of his for laughing, saying that mirth was a heretical sin. str_rumor_talk_mett_1|he said a Barclay sailor told him that Mettenheim has great ships of iron powered by magic. They call them 'Ironclads.' str_rumor_talk_mett_2|he said an Empire legionnaire told him Mettenheim soldiers are so strong they wield their greatswords like mere twigs. str_rumor_talk_mett_3|he was told that Mettenheim soldiers refuse to use horses, as their faces remind them too much of their wives. str_rumor_talk_mett_4|he heard a Sarleon priest say that the people of Mettenheim esteem iron almost as if it were a god. str_rumor_talk_mett_5|he said he once spoke to a Mettenheim soldier. That's about it really. str_rumor_talk_mett_6|he said he was working in the city prison. A captured Snake cultist told him about an odd Mettenheim warcry; apparently they shout 'I'll be back' when they have to retreat. str_rumor_talk_mett_7|he heard that even the Noldor are in awe of Mettenheim metallurgy. str_rumor_talk_mett_8|he said a historian told him the Mettenheim sovereign drops all former titles and loyalties. Even his name is changed to 'The Count'. Some of the other kings could learn from this dedication. str_rumor_talk_mett_9|he said a prosperous trader told him he only sells his farm produce to Mettenheim. They pay much more because of the massive famine in their homeland. str_rumor_talk_mett_10|he heard that, although they are presently at peace, a war between Barclay and Mettenheim is as likely as tomorrow's dawn. str_rumor_talk_mett_11|he said a young Mettenheim soldier told him of his dream to join the Forlorn Hope, their most prestigious Order. str_rumor_talk_mett_12|he heard a Mettenheim merchant say the Forlorn Hope is a suicidal group. Only those older men of declining strength may join, due to having less to live for than the younger men. str_rumor_talk_mett_13|he was told a Fierdsvain fisherman went looking for the Mettenheim homeland, but found only a massive volcano in the middle of the sea. str_rumor_talk_mett_14|he heard a rumor that an Empire prefect has suggested Mettenheim is in league with the Snake Cult. Odd, since the Snakes massacred the lot of them when they were shipwrecked, or so I heard. str_rumor_talk_mett_15|he heard a retired mercenary say that a Mettenheim column has sufficient strength and stamina to keep pace with a unit of heavy cavalry on the march. str_rumor_talk_mett_16|he said a Fierdsvain berserker told him he has respect for Mettenheim troops ・they are the only ones able to match him drink for drink. str_rumor_talk_mett_17|he heard from a D'Shar herder of a man called Frederick. Said he defeated a Jatu raiding party by killing the horses beneath them, a novel means of combat for the D'Shar who usually take the mounts as a prize. str_rumor_talk_ogma_1|he heard that Lord Olaf Oakshield had married a famous Valkyrie many years ago. According to legend she was the only person who could beat him in his prime. Unfortunately, she died while giving birth to their daughter, Ogma. Not long after, he lost his son, as well. Death seems to follow that poor man... str_rumor_talk_ogma_2|he heard from the Valonbray jeweler that Lord Oakshield has been spending an unseemly amount on jewelry for his daughter, Ogma. The jeweler almost regretted driving a lord into poverty but, at the same time, how could he refuse such lucrative business? str_rumor_talk_ogma_3|he heard from Lady Ogma's maid-in-waiting that the lady's father, Lord Olaf Oakshield, dotes on her, buying the most extravagant dresses and jewelery in Pendor. Although most maidens would be thrilled by these gifts, Lady Ogma only thanks her father politely. Truly, she would rather lead a troop of cavalry, dressed in her mother's Valkyrie armor. str_rumor_talk_ogma_4|he heard from Lady Ogma's maid-in-waiting that the young lady sneaks away at night. She thought she was hiding a clandestine love-affair, but when Ogma returned with a nasty gash on her arm, the truth came out. 'I've hired a swordsman to train me in the martial arts. Please, Lola, don't let my father know of this. He would go grey with worry.' str_rumor_talk_ogma_5|he heard from the stablehand that the finest horse in Valonbray belongs to Lady Ogma. The mare is a spirit horse, captured from a Noldor lord. Nobody in Valonbray could ride her, yet Lady Ogma--who'd never ridden a warhorse before--didn't care. Everyone thought she'd break her neck. However, a few weeks later, she rode in on the mare, as serene as Astraea herself. str_rumor_talk_ogma_6|he heard from Lady Ogma's maid that the young lady keeps her mother's armor on the wall and polishes it while her maids knit and sew. Before marrying Lord Olaf Oakshield, Ogma's mother had been a Valkyrie. Ogma wishes to be one as well, but her father strictly forbids it. He lost both his son and his wife, and cannot bear the thought of losing his daughter as well. str_rumor_talk_halz_1|he heard stories about an ambitious man named Halstein. They say he studied under some of the greatest minds to became a scholar. After he learned all he could, he left that path to became the head of his family. That's how he became both rich and politically influential. str_rumor_talk_halz_2|he said that despite his intelligence and wisdom, Halstein, that new merchant-prince from Fierdsvain is very proud and ambitious. People say a fire burns in his eyes. str_rumor_talk_halz_3|he was told never to provoke a man named Halstein, because he is a mastermind unlike any other. Don't let his young and handsome appearance fool you -- he is dangerous. str_rumor_talk_halz_4|he heard that Halstein's influence is spreading; lords consult him because of his sharp mind and grasp of tactics. They also attribute several of the Fierdsvain's latest victories to Halstein's planning. str_rumor_talk_halz_5|he heard that Halstein lost his temper and struck a man, when he said that Hormuzd of the D'Shar might have a better mind than his. str_rumor_talk_halz_6|he was told that Halstein is looking for a wife, but it appears he cannot find a woman to suit him. He is looking for specific characteristics, what he doesn't specify, saying only that he seeks a woman whose fiery eyes shine with intelligence. str_rumor_talk_edytha_1|he heard in Sarleon that Lady Edytha's popularity at court is unmatched. Though she comes from minor nobility, she has charmed and finagled her way into the inner circles of noble society. Nobody dares to bring up her lineage these days. The last court lady who did so was ostracized for her insolence. str_rumor_talk_edytha_2|he heard from a seamstress in Sarleon that Lady Edytha cannot afford to buy fine gowns, but must depend upon the generosity of her suitors. Rumor has it that her father has squandered much of the family estate with his gambling. str_rumor_talk_edytha_3|he overheard two young lords in Sarleon boasting about the affections of Lady Edytha. One claimed she graced him with a smile, while the other said she had batted her lashes at him. Their voices continued rising, until ultimately\ their conversation became a yelling match in the middle of the street. They drew their swords and both spilt blood on the cobblestones. str_rumor_talk_edytha_4|he heard from a peasant in Burglen that Lord Andre's gambling habit is beginning to affect the village. He can no longer afford to maintain the village mill, and the farmers worry he won't be able to pay his soldiers' wages. His daughter Edytha abandoned the estate in disgust. She guests with friends in the capital, seeking a husband before her family's disgrace destroys her chances of a decent marriage. str_rumor_talk_edytha_5|he overheard Lady Edytha say to a weeping maiden, 'You once thought yourself my superior, did you not? Your father owns a castle, while mine holds only a village. You looked down upon me and treated me like a serf. Now you find that for all your supposed status, you are my inferior. Yes, Merydth, I am smarter, stronger, and more beautiful than you. You are my serf now! Beg for mercy; I may grant it.' str_rumor_talk_edytha_6|he heard that Lady Edytha controls the inner circle of Sarleon society with unprecedented ferocity. To lords and warriors, she appears sweet and charming, but to her rivals, she is utterly ruthless. She has reduced ladies of the highest nobility to submission. They will do anything to please her and become her confidant. Surely, she is destined to marry a great man. str_rumor_talk_kenric_1|he said that a young knight named Kenric has been winning numerous jousts these days and that few can match him. Many ladies are talking about him. str_rumor_talk_kenric_2|he was told Kenric, a young knight of Sarleon, is the subject of much talk. Some people have high hopes of him, due to his pride, idealism and faith in the king. Others say he is just a dreamy and gullible youth who jousts well. str_rumor_talk_kenric_3|he heard that talk of young Kenric in the Sarleon court had already caused arguments amongst the nobles. Apparently, Kenric gets furious with anyone who voices criticism of the king's actions. str_rumor_talk_kenric_4|he heard that there are many ladies hoping for the hand of some Sarleon knight named Kenric. They say he not only is quite handsome but also a skilled knight, despite the fact that he has not fought in a battle, only won tournaments. str_rumor_talk_kenric_5|he was told that Kenric once said that he believes that change comes about from the inside out. First a man should strive to change what he can in his own life, before taking dramatic actions to change others. str_rumor_talk_kenric_6|he was told that Kenric is wild with eagerness to try his strength on a battlefield, but his family holds him back. Perhaps it is because they prefer to find him a good marriage or it might be that they fear his boldness will lead to his death. All Kenric talks of is his wish to join a battle. str_rumor_talk_hamida_1|he heard from a rug merchant in Nal Tar that D'Shar women are the finest weavers in Pendor. Many merchants have grown rich selling D'Shar rugs, and none less so than Hamida of the D'Shar. She has shown incredible marketing skill, and forged a highly lucrative trading route between Pendor and Barclay. She exports handwoven D'Shar carpets to Barclay and returns with exquisite paintings from the Barclay artists. str_rumor_talk_hamida_2|he heard a bard praise the graces of Hamida, the Flower of Nal Tar. She is said to embody the beauty of the desert, and is voluptuous and golden as saffron. She is quiet and self-contained; men claim that merely to sit with her in her tent brings them peace. Countless men have fallen in love with her, but none have succeeded in plucking the Flower of Nal Tar. str_rumor_talk_hamida_3|he heard from an old maid in Nal Tar that the merchant Hamida trained as a poetess and showed great promise. Caliph Tahir praised her work, and may have promised her to his son. She defied D'Shar tradition at of fourteen, kissed her parents farewell and began life as a traveling peddler. Her habit of speaking softly, coupled with her unfailing honesty, gained the trust of her customers. These days, she makes more money than any five merchants in Pendor. str_rumor_talk_hamida_4|he heard from a courtesan in Singal that although the lady Hamida is not technically of noble birth, her pleasant company and recent successes as a merchant have earned her regular invitations to court. She has rapidly become one of the most popular\ ladies at court, amongst both the nobility and the servants. Her warmth, courtesy and humility have made allies of even the surliest servingmen. str_rumor_talk_hamida_5|he heard from a stable hand in Singal that gazing into the lady Hamida's eyes makes a man feel as warm as if he were basking in the sun on a sunny spring afternoon. Her warmth and kindness, which appear effortless, can be felt without a single word being uttered. She need do no more than smile. str_rumor_talk_hamida_6|he heard from a sailor that when the merchant Hamida steps out of her cabin the whole ship's crew falls silent in awe of her beauty. On her voyages to Barclay, she spends long afternoons standing at the prow, silently staring out over the ocean. No one knows what she is thinking, but any sailor would lay down his life to aid her. str_rumor_talk_hormz_1|he was told about a man of the D'Shar called Hormuzd, whom people say was a very successful lord, renowned in many battles. One day he supposedly left everything behind to became a virtual hermit, but now out of nowhere he has returned to the capital. str_rumor_talk_hormz_2|he heard from servants that several D'Shar lords complained they were assaulted by strange questions from a wise man named Hormzud. No one in the D'Shar Principalites understands the reason for his questions. str_rumor_talk_hormz_3|he heard stories of how Hormuzd, as a young prince, managed to defeat a large enemy force by driving them toward a dry field, then setting it afire. The smoke made the enemy too weak to fight and they were forced to retreat. Thus, he won his battle without wetting a single blade. str_rumor_talk_hormz_4|he was told that there are no men as wise as Hormuzd. Since his return to court, he has been sharing his knowledge; people say that in only a few weeks he finished writing several books on philosophy, battle tactics and a treatise on ancient D'Shar poetry. str_rumor_talk_hormz_5|he said there is a man in Kadan Bahadur Khan's court by the name of Hormuzd, who has introduced several new ideas to help the common people, especially guides on how to avoid food shortages or and the treatment of plagues. str_rumor_talk_hormz_6|he was told that the reason Hormuzd left the Principalities was that one day, one of his brilliant ideas didn't worked as planned. He won a great battle, but due to a miscalculation or perhaps an accident, a man important to him died. He blamed himself so much that he left his whole life behind and became a hermit somewhere in the deep desert. str_rumor_talk_hormz_7|he heard from ladies of the Kadan's court that they once asked Hormuzd why he was yet unmarried. He told them that he hadn't found a woman who could share his vision of the universe and would not marry until he found such a woman. str_rumor_talk_lux_1|he heard from a scribe in Ethos that Justus Dux has only one daughter, an exceedingly bright one. By the age of three, she was reading the epic poems of Baccus. Before she was six, she had translated seven runes in the Noldor script... a feat no adult has managed. She is now seventeen but still unmarried. The men of The Empire don't court her for fear of appearing foolish in her eyes. Her name is Luciana Dux. str_rumor_talk_lux_2|he heard from candlemakers in Ethos that Luciana, daughter of Justus Dux, has ordered so many candles from him that their price can feed his family for seven years. She sleeps little, preferring to spend her nights jotting notes, as she sifts through ancient manuscripts. She is rumored to be studying in depth the Prophecy of Madigan. str_rumor_talk_lux_3|he heard from a guard in Cez that Luciana, daughter to Justus Dux, has no patience with those she deems fools. During a ball last year, Bionr Legatus was pontificating to his friends that the D'Shar descended from jackals, whereas the citizens of the Empire descended from the gods. She overheard his remark, pushed her way into their circle and started reciting an endless stream of historical facts. Her reluctant listeners slunk away one at a time, until she was left standing alone. str_rumor_talk_lux_4|he heard from a scribe in Ethos that Luciana, daughter of Justus Dux stays up all night with her books. He is not sure when she sleeps, but apparently it is rarely. She sits alone in her study, burning dozens of candles all through the night, poring endlessly over ancient scrolls and manuscripts. str_rumor_talk_lux_5|he heard from a scholar in Sarleon that philosophers from throughout Pendor travel to Ethos to visit a young prodigy named Luciana. She is famous for translating Noldor scrolls, even though the Noldor alphabet is hundreds of characters long and she only understands a few of them. Rumor holds that she freely offers her translation services to anyone who can bring her a text by the prophet Madigan, her new object of study. str_rumor_talk_lux_6|he heard from a courtesan in Cez that Luciana, daughter to Justus Dux, is unofficially excluded from noble Empire society. They cannot prevent her from attending the Imperial Ball and other festivals, but her confrontational behavior has induced a dislike of her in most of her peers. She does not seem to mind, but spends most of her time alone in her study reading, intent upon learning the secrets of the prophet Madigan. str_rumor_talk_nerati_1|he said that soldiers from the Empire often claim that a men called Neratius not only has a powerful voice, but also that his speeches stirred his men to win several battles against all odds. str_rumor_talk_nerati_2|he was told that if the Empire had a few more men like Neratius, things would be very different there, because no man in the Empire is as brave or stoic as Neratius. str_rumor_talk_nerati_3|he heard that citizens in the Empire wonder why Neratius remains unmarried. Some say it is because he can't find a woman who can meet his demanding ideals. str_rumor_talk_nerati_4|he was told that ladies in the Empire are annoyed at Neratius, despite his being so handsome and such an famous soldier, because he refuses every proposal of marriage from their fathers. str_rumor_talk_nerati_5|he heard from soldiers of the Empire that few generals know the tactics and strategies of the Old Empire as Neratius does. He is especially talented with fast maneuvers and engineering; they say he can build a bridge as fast as they used to in the old days! str_rumor_talk_nerati_6|he heard that a man called Neratius just made a quite powerful speech during a meeting of the Empire lords, quite openly accusing some nobles of tolerance for and involvement with the Snake Cult. A good many high-nosed Empire Lords aren't too pleased with him just now! However elevated their rank, he did not spare even one from criticism. str_rumor_talk_bryn_1|he heard there is a new Ravenstern champion. At the last tournament, a rival to Count Otto appeared. Though Count Otto was a popular lord, the new contestant was an unknown commoner. People were surprised when Otto fell in the final round and shocked when the contestant removed her helmet. Her name was Bryn, and she was a woman! str_rumor_talk_bryn_2|he heard that after her surprise victory at the tournament, the warrior Bryn became a celebrity in Ravenstern. She was of common birth and her defeat of lords in single combat was surprising. Following her victory, she traveled from tavern to tavern, and people toasted her and sang bawdy songs. She was easily as big as a man, her laughter as boisterous, and soon she had a peasant militia in tow. str_rumor_talk_bryn_3|he heard from a Ravenstern courtier that after the warrior Bryn's surprise tournament victory, she gained popularity with the commoners. That a mere peasant woman had personally defeated the lords of the realm only made her seem more dangerous. Several lords were plotting her assassination when King Gregory intervened, granting her the title of Lady Bryn. str_rumor_talk_bryn_4|he heard from a Poinsbruk tavern keeper that after Bryn's victory in last year's tournament, she traveled throughout Ravenstern, drinking with the common folk. One day, she found herself pregnant. Instead of aborting her bastard child as many ladies would do, she bore it. All seemed well, until her babe mysteriously disappeared. Many of Bryn's supporters believe the lad was stolen by jealous nobles. str_rumor_talk_bryn_5|he heard from the steward at Falcondark Castle that although most nobles in Ravenstern treat the upstart Lady Bryn with scorn, Count Otto has the utmost respect for the warrior-maid. He invites her to his estates often, and they spend long afternoons chatting by the hearth. Even when she was swollen with child, he treated her with a warrior's rough charm. Late into the night, the whole keep would shake with their boisterous laughter. str_rumor_talk_bryn_6|he heard a bard sing the ballad of Lady Bryn, the She-Bear of Ravenstern. The whole crowd sang along. Word for word, they described her victory over Lord Otto at the tournament, and they cheered when King Gregory declared her a noble. When the song spoke of her bastard child, they cheered for him, too, crying, 'Long live Alwyn, Son of the She-Bear!' Yet now her son is gone and all fear that he was stolen and killed by plotting nobles.' str_rumor_talk_alec_1|he heard several stories about a lord named Alec, a skilled ranger and marksman. They say he lead several forays into the Mystmountain lands, and even rescued Ravenstern people captured by those savages. str_rumor_talk_alec_2|he was told that there was a quite handsome fellow in Ravenstern named Alec, and that Alec happens also to be one of the greatest rangers in Ravenstern. They say, however, that he does not like to hang about courts or cities, but enjoys the wilderness much more. str_rumor_talk_alec_3|he heard that Alec, that Ravenstern ranger son of a lord who is the talk of all the ladies, is incredibly skilled with a bow, as well as knowledgeable about survival in the wilderness, but feels very out of place in a court or city. In fact, he says the perils of the wilderness pale beside the dangers of court intrigue! str_rumor_talk_alec_4|he was told that Alec's family is desperate to get him well-married. They have introduced several good potential fiancees, but he refused every one, claiming he hopes to find a woman who is as comfortable in the wilderness and skilled with a bow as he is. Not bloody likely he'll find a woman like that! str_rumor_talk_alec_5|he said that despite his severe expression, simple clothes, and his laconic demeanor, Alec is actually a very kind man. str_rumor_talk_alec_6|he said that there are few marksmen so good as Alec, even amongst Raverstern's most skilled rangers. str_rumor_talk_snake_1|he saw two armed men intimidating a shopkeeper. They kept asking the merchant if he had seen an escaped slave, a woman the High Priestess was keen to get her hands on. str_rumor_talk_snake_2|he saw a hooded and cloaked warrior who, while hiding in the shadows, was speaking to two street urchins. Money changed hands and the urchins promptly ran away. The warrior laughed softly then disappeared into the night. str_rumor_talk_snake_3|he saw a hooded woman dressed in dark clothing. She approached a tall warrior who bowed to her. She pulled out a wickedly curved dagger, plunged it into his throat and he fell stone dead into the gutter. She kicked him once, wiped the blade on his carcass, then walked down the street as if nothing had happened. str_rumor_talk_snake_4|he overheard two travelers talking about the rise of the Snake Cult and how they demand either gold or blood to join one of their covens. str_rumor_talk_snake_5|he saw a drunk man leaving the tavern. Across the street was a, um, lady of questionable virtue. The poor sot walked up and grabbed her. Gave her a big kiss, he did. Then the man just sort of stiffened and fell over. The lady looked up, saw him, and smiled. He swears on the grave of his old dad she had fangs. str_rumor_talk_snake_6|he said one came right into the tavern! Snake worshiper, aye. Huge man, armored in poison green. Big as day. Didn't even try to hide those serpent emblems, neither. Nah, he stepped right in like he owned the place. 'Twas everything he could do to hold his water! str_rumor_talk_snake_7|he said the Snakes took out a caravan north of Ethos. A whole caravan! They're getting bolder, I tell you. One of the survivors came through here yesterday. He said he saw one of their knights take out ten men! Glad I am safe here, in truth. str_rumor_talk_snake_8|he said he'd learned something about the Snake ladies, that he did. Did you know they can kill you with one kiss? Kissing, I tell you! Like we need anything else desecrated by those cretins. str_rumor_talk_snake_9|he heard two soldiers talking. They were telling stories, right? One told the other they had tangled with the Cultists again. The other asked, 'How many lost this time?' '15 Legionnaires,' was the answer. I thought they were joking, right? But no one was laughing. str_rumor_talk_snake_10|he said his mother refuses to leave the house. She says she saw people in her fields, two nights back. She could not see what they were doing, but they lit a big fire. Then they started shouting something like AZEE! And the fire, it grew tall and started swaying like a snake. She has stayed locked in her room since! str_rumor_talk_snake_11|he saw a strange woman who never moved her mouth when she spoke. She was asking after someone named {playername}, or some such. Said {reg63?he she} was 'Chosen of Azi Dahaka.' Ye gods, I would hate to be that person. str_rumor_talk_snake_12|he said the Snake Cult has been sniffing around here again. Apparently, some adventurer named {playername} has been making their lives difficult. Bully for {reg63?him her}, but you never heard that from me, right? str_rumor_talk_snake_13|he said he spied a group of odd folks in the woods. They were swaying and dancing around a fire. Who cares, right? But he said the fire was alive! He said the fire and smoke coiled around them・just like a snake! str_rumor_talk_snake_14|he heard the cooper say he had lost his daughter. Then he said something about snakes in the night. I think he meant them Anaconda Knights. They say that the Knights will steal girls away. Not to ravish, no sir. For the priestesses. str_rumor_talk_snake_15|he heard something interesting from a caravan master. Seems young girls have been disappearing all along the southern seacoast. Folks are blaming it on those Snake worshipers. They say the priestesses have to begin training young. str_rumor_talk_snake_16|he told me he found an abandoned Snake Cult outpost on his last journey. They had stripped almost everything out, but left a bag under some rubble. Know what was in it? Snake venom and a baby bottle. str_rumor_talk_snake_17|he told me that a huge snake was spotted in the hills outside Janos last month. He said so many snake worshipers showed up you could walk from Fenada to Chelez on their heads! str_rumor_talk_snake_18|he said that if I was to ever meet an adventurer called {playername}, I should warn {reg63?him her} to steer clear of Empire lands. The Snake Cult has been searching high and low for {reg63?him her}. str_rumor_talk_snake_19|he noticed the charm I keep to ward away evil. 'Keep that close', he said. 'I have seen snake worshipers outside the tavern three times this week. They think they are disguised, but I can spot them a mile away, and they are looking for someone'. str_rumor_talk_snake_20|he told me he had actually camped with a snake worshiper. Said the guy kept him up most of the night with stories about the greatness of Azi Dahaka. He claimed she manifests as a giant hooded cobra on stormy nights. str_rumor_talk_snake_21|he told me that he had heard an odd noise from an alleyway the other night, and went to investigate. When he got there, all he found was on old cloak, three green scales, and a scrawled note saying {playername}. str_rumor_talk_snake_22|he said he had not heard from his cousin on the coast in nearly a year. So, he went to investigate, and when he got there, the house was gone; burnt to the ground. On a stone near the ruin was scrawled 'VIVAT AZI DAHAKA'. str_rumor_talk_snake_23|he spoke to me of an old legend. It seems that on stormy nights in the old country, worshipers of Azi Dahaka would creep through villages in search of little girls to steal away. They would take them off to their lair and spend years turning them into Snake Priestesses. str_rumor_talk_snake_24|he saw a man approach a cloaked woman in a secluded doorway. Something changed hands, and the woman pulled back her hood and blew lightly on him. He stiffened, tried to turn away, and fell dead at her feet! She gave a tight-lipped smile, raised her hood, and disappeared into the alley. str_rumor_talk_snake_25|he said he went to a tavern out in Laria, and heard that the Snake Cult has been seen as far inland as Rebache! If they get a foothold in Sarleon, they will be out of the reach of old Marius. Bet that will stick in his royal craw! str_rumor_talk_snake_26|he saw a woman and her wee daughter walking in the marketplace. He had barely looked away when he heard a scream. The mother was standing stiff as a board, blood running from two fang marks on her throat. The babe was nowhere to be seen. str_rumor_talk_snake_27|he told me he had overheard the Seneschal talking to the Sheriff. Turns out, two Empire vassal lords were discovered to have hidden Snake shrines in their manors. After all the work the Imperator has done, to find something like this now must be crushing! str_rumor_talk_snake_28|he turned to me and said, 'Why is there a snake charm over your door?' and I said・I said・aaah・We are looking for you, {playername}, AND WE WILL FIND YOU! ・Aah・I am sorry. What were we talking about? str_rumor_talk_snake_29|he said Marius is running scared. The Snake Cult has been on the rise, and nothing the Imperator does seems to stop them. It is almost like they know his plans before he does. These days, Marius is accusing everything but the doorposts of spying. str_rumor_talk_snake_30|he heard from a hunter that more and more shrines to Azi Dahaka have been discovered all along the southern coast. The Snake Cult has been far more active lately, almost as if they are preparing for something. str_rumor_talk_snake_31|he heard from a ship captain that Snake Cult relics from the old Empire are being smuggled into Cez in record numbers. Weapons and armor from the old country are pouring in as well. Mark my words, the snakes are up to something big. str_rumor_talk_snake_32|he said he was walking on the Ethos road a few weeks back and found the remains of a caravan. Its erstwhile guards had been left dead, strewn across the roadway. The cargo was smashed, but had not been looted. In the road was written in blood, 'AZI DAHAKA ADVENIO'. str_rumor_talk_snake_33|he said that the last caravan he guarded was attacked by snake worshipers. Huge men in green armor poured from the forest along the roadside. But, when all seemed lost, the knights pulled up short. The priestess shouted, '{playername}', and those Snakes just melted away. str_rumor_talk_snake_34|he told me of a legend from the old Baccus Empire. Once, long ago, agents of Azi Dahaka began raiding in greater numbers than ever before. No one was safe. Then, a mighty warlord rose among them and united the marauding worshipers into a vast army. History is a wheel, my friend. Be careful. str_rumor_talk_sing_1|he was told the Singalians ancestors are part D'Shar, which makes them distant cousins of the Jatu. They all came from the Old Empire to Pendor as mercenaries. str_rumor_talk_sing_2|he heard that Singalians have a rigid code of honor which forbids retreat from battle, and also involves great loss of personal honor should their leader flee from battle. str_rumor_talk_sing_3|he heard a story about how the Singalians got their name their ancestors came as mercenaries from far away, but refused to settle in the town of Singal. For some strange reason they kept the name to remind them of what they had rejected. str_rumor_talk_sing_4|he said that the Singalians attack by stealth from the deep desert, appearing as if by magic. str_rumor_talk_sing_5|he was told that, despite having a code of honor which demands death before retreat, Singalians are not suicidal; I mean, they won't give their lives away for someone they perceive as unfit to die for. str_rumor_talk_sing_6|he was told by a D'Shar merchant that few people try to travel into the depths of the desert where the Singalians dwell. They say the travel is just to risky, and too many get lost on the way. str_rumor_talk_sing_7|he heard that even if you manage to find a Singalian camp in the desert, there is still the problem of their suspiciousness of strangers, even their D'Shar cousins. str_rumor_talk_sing_8|he heard from a man who travelled to trade with the Singalians that the desert where they roam is so harsh that often an entire clan is lost to a sandstorm. Any lucky survivors are sometimes accepted into another clan, so long as there is no blood feud between the clans. str_rumor_talk_sing_9|he was told that, despite the harsh conditions of the desert, the Singalians appear to truly enjoy riding there with their clanbrothers. They know how to survive there and where water can be found. If you really need to go to the desert, see if you can find one of them to guide you. str_rumor_talk_sing_10|he said he saw a merchant making plans to travel into the desert to trade with the Singalians. The fellow must either know what he is doing or be crazy - no one knows for sure where exactly in the desert you can find the Singalians. str_rumor_talk_sing_11|he said the Singalians navigate the desert by finding markers of dead men's bones left by the vultures and the tracks of desert sand snakes. No one really knows how they find their way there. str_rumor_talk_dshar_1|he said that a friend of his told him those worthless tribal D'Shar are all stirred up by some religious fanatic out of the deep desert. str_rumor_talk_dshar_2|he said that, according to Torbah rumor, the Bahadur Khan himself beheaded a man for making a joke about an invasion from the deep desert. I guess the joke was on him! str_rumor_talk_dshar_3|he said that, as per a Singal armor merchant, the D'Shar have temporarily ceased their regular blood feuds on direct orders of the Bahadur Khan, so as to preserve men for Pendor's battles. str_rumor_talk_dshar_4|he heard in Sarleon that the D'Shar are raiding for women these days, because they apparently do not have enough of their own to go around. Can you believe they marry multiple wives? Talk about tents full of trouble! str_rumor_talk_dshar_5|he said his D'Shar trading partner told him that over two hundred have died in the latest Yusafzai blood feud, despite a command from the Bahadur Khan that they desist immediately. str_rumor_talk_dshar_6|he said that a wine merchant told him about a D'Shar wedding in Singal that came to a sad end. The wedding was meant to end a blood feud, but it broke out anew at the feast and both the bride and groom were killed. str_rumor_talk_dshar_7|he said that at D'Shar weddings, they fire arrows into the air and invariably some of the guests are killed. Jokes about the perils of weddings are standard amongst the D'Shar. str_rumor_talk_dshar_8|he heard a rumor about some renegade fanatic from the deep desert who has called blood feud against the Bahadur Khan himself! str_rumor_talk_dshar_9|he heard from the Captain of the Guard in Ishkoman that the Bahadur Khan has ordered increased troops and vigilance in all D'Shar towns, due to some unspecified threat. str_rumor_talk_dshar_10|he heard a rumor that the Bahadur Khan sits even more uneasily on his throne these days, because a renegade sheik has promised to take it from him. str_rumor_talk_dshar_11|he heard that the talk in the Torbah taverns is all about some fanatic who foams at the mouth and falls down in fits of holy madness. He has converted many D'Shar to his strange religion and inspires absolute loyalty. str_rumor_talk_dshar_12|he was talking to an Ishkoman horse trader, who says he lost half his men and his entire string to another pack of raiders. The Pathani are reputedly the worst horse thieves in the plains. str_rumor_talk_dshar_13|he was told that an entire D'Shar camp now stands empty, and no one knows what became of the people there. They simply disappeared. str_rumor_talk_dshar_14|he heard a funny story! The Bahadur Khan just took another wife, and his first wife is furious! She wanted him to marry her younger sister instead. Talk about a glutton for punishment! str_rumor_talk_dshar_15|he heard that the D'Shar prize black horses so highly because their god, Indar, manifests as a beautiful black stallion, swift as the wind. str_rumor_talk_dshar_16|he overheard a Legionnaire say that the Turkmani raiders are giving the Empire a terrible time, just now. The Legionnaires are fit to be tied, because they cannot catch them. str_rumor_talk_dshar_17|he overheard in the Singal tavern that a D'Shar renegade, Sheik Salivate, or something like that, is raising hell in the D'Shar Territories these days. str_rumor_talk_dshar_18|he heard a rumor that Sheik Shalavan feeds some kind of drug to his followers that makes them fight fiercely. It is said that he denies them the drug before battle and tells them they will get no more unless they win. str_rumor_talk_dshar_19|he said that there is talk in the marketplace that someone needs to do something about the incessant D'Shar raids. There are several tribes now that do nothing but steal goods from others and capture their women. They produce nothing but bloodshed. str_rumor_talk_dshar_20|he heard that in the Singal market, the traders complain that they need the escort of an army just to get to Torbah, the cursed Raiders have gotten so outrageous. str_rumor_talki_jatu_1|he said that he met a Caravan Master who had been raided by the Jatu. The merchant was astounded that boys as young as twelve are part of their army. Imagine making children into soldiers! str_rumor_talki_jatu_2|he says that a Jatu tribal warrior told him that someone named Zulkar is uniting all the Jatu under one banner, with the intention of taking Sarleon. str_rumor_talki_jatu_3|he said that an innkeeper in Laria told him that Jatu incursions are increasing. They have wiped out militia patrols from Laria several times. str_rumor_talki_jatu_4|he heard from a man who trades with the Jatu, that all the women taken in their raids end up in concubinage, bearing child after child for the Jatu horselords. str_rumor_talki_jatu_5|he said that talk in the Poinsbruk tavern is that if something is not done about Warlord Zulkar, he will be pitching his tent in the Poinsbruk town square in no time. str_rumor_talki_jatu_6|he heard a Jatu Lancer claim that their god, Vata, joins in their battles, and shoots in the back any he thinks are trying to desert. Only the Jatu would choose that git for a god. str_rumor_talki_jatu_7|he heard from a Jatu slave en route to the salt mines that the Jatu test their young boys for strength and courage and kill those they deem weak or cowardly. str_rumor_talki_jatu_8|he heard several times in Laria that the only good thing about K'Juda the Ravager is his predilection for killing Noldor. str_rumor_talki_jatu_9|he met a man named Ambrose who trades with the Jatu. His impression is that not all the Jatu want to follow K'Juda, but he is forcing them to ally with him. str_rumor_talki_jatu_10|he met a trader, ashen-pale and trembling, who was drinking heavily in the Poinsbruk tavern. He says he found the bodies of some militia who had been tortured to death by K'Juda, that Jatu Warlord. str_rumor_talki_jatu_11|he said that Liam, a friend of his who collects Noldor artifacts, says that although the Noldor hate Warlord Zulkar, they seem to grudgingly respect his battle prowess and honorable behavior. str_rumor_talki_jatu_12|he heard from a captured Jatu that K'Juda mounts Noldor heads on poles outside his tent and has a veritable forest of them on display. str_rumor_talki_jatu_13|he said the he spoke with a peddler, whom he was quite sure was a disguised Jatu. He casually mentioned a new warlord, Zulkar, who is very strong and gaining great influence amongst the Jatu. str_rumor_talki_jatu_14|he heard from a Laria trader that the Jatu are raiding more heavily for women, by order of K'Juda. He wants to breed more soldiers for his army. str_rumor_talki_jatu_15|he overheard a Ravenstern seneschal, who was drunk in the tavern, claim the King soils his armor at the mere thought of taking on K'Juda the Ravager and his army. And this despite their increased raids near Poinsbruk. str_rumor_talki_jatu_16|he says the D'Shar historians claim the Jatu are cousins of the D'Shar tribes. Centuries ago, the D'Shar tribes migrated to Pendor from the great Kashanar Plains, far across the sea, a place now claimed by the Jatuzin. str_rumor_talki_jatu_17|he said the word in Sarleon is that King Ulric is worried about an invasion from Warlord Zulkar and his Jatu, since his armies are already overtaxed dealing with his other aggressive neighbors. str_rumor_talki_jatu_18|he said that the Sarleon knights hold Warlord Zulkar in high esteem for his many acts of honor and bravery. Very few would care to cross lances with him, however. str_rumor_talki_jatu_19|he said that the latest word from Laria is that K'Juda the Ravager leaves scrolls, pinned by javelins to Noldor corpses, stating that all Noldor will die similarly at his hands. I almost pity the Noldor! str_rumor_talki_jatu_20|he said the abbot of Poinsbruk preaches that all who take up the fight against the invading Jatu are under the protection of UllrVetr.
