"Blasted weather hasn't been reliable for months... every time my wife sneezes, the seasons change again, it seems."

"Who is that strange man that keeps talking to his book..."

"I heard some whispers in the woods about a blue druid, you think it's a new forest spirit comin through? If it is it better take care of all the trouble we been getting outta those woods!"

"You didn't hear it from me, but my cousin's sister's halfbrother's best friend heard something about tensions with some guild and the baron, this is hot stuff! The barony's gonna fall! Better start packin your stuff and head back to the main cities...but you didn't hear it from me...."

"The Merchant's Guild is growing alarmed at developments in Travance. I've heard that they will soon be establishing a chapter here and accepting applications for membership. In the meantime, they're being especially careful to ensure that their members carry a credential with them when they come to Travance. And, uh, I've even heard, but uh, I don't know for certain, that they've quietly informed the Rogue's Guild that stealing from non-guild merchants is encouraged."

"I passed a noble caravan on my way across the rift. The fella with the baggage cart said it was the son of Lord Edelhark of Avondale, and that he was comin' with a whole lot of meteoric ore they found recently. He said he figured to get the highest price imaginable in Travance. I'd say he's right... "

"Damn these Londwynians and their 'Industry'! Felling trees all over the four lands, getting closer to the grove with each passing day! Someone needs to tell them they aren't welcome here!"

"There was an old man with a single tooth was seen wandering around in rags the last couple days asking about finding the Baron. I doubt the baron would hold audience with such a filthy rat of a man."
