Ishar:Legend Of The Fortress - Rumours

                     By James Judge

        Tavern In Angarahn

        Life is now impossible with Krogh around...
        We had better times with Lord Jarel...
        You know his mates are still alive and one of them lives
here in the village...


        Tavern In Lotharia

        A new medium lives in Osgirod.  I went there yesterday. He
is very good... cheap rates, not long, quite competent. He told me
I was inverse, chaotic and orcophobic.


        West Tavern In Fragonir

        I will tell you a secret...  It is said that Krogh may be
Morgoth's son! The friend that told me this knew it from Irvan's
daughter.. aah... Irvan's daughter... (sigh).


        East Tavern In Fragonir

        You remember my cousin Fragom from Lotharia?... Well,
anyway, he recently attended a magical seminar and is now
searching for the magic flask believed to be in the Rhudgast
forest...


        First Tavern in Urshurak

        I moved the old chap Olbar yesterday...  We took him back
to the square... The poor man is not getting better with age...
His fights with Morgoth have left him backward...

        Second Tavern In Urshurak

        History question: where was Morgula confined after she
tried to confront Krogh?  In the Forbidden House?  You lost! In
Fhulgrod forest... My turn!

        Third Tavern In Urshurak

        I heard a good one this morning.  Krogh the son of
Morgroth and... guess who?... Morgula the witch!  Speak low you
idiot, someone could hear us.


        Fourth Tavern In Urshurak

        Grand Master Jon, Jarel's alchemist, has left the business.
He sold his magic shoppe down in Rivolli Street and moved to the
city of Kandomir.

        Fifth Tavern In Urshurak

        My friend Leslie has disappeared! Last time I saw him, he
was in Zendoria's area. I hope he did not try to enter the
Forbidden House...


        Tavern In Halindor

        Thorm, Jarel's faithful warrior, is under house arrest in
one of Elwingil's squares. How cruel, he is a harmless, senile old
man!


        First Tavern In Elwingil

        I will begin my mission tomorrow.  I've heard that a man
named Zach, supposedly one of Jarel's companions, managed to get
to Valathar.  He will get what's coming to him!

        Second Tavern In Elwingil

        Mythology question: According to legend where is the
Magician's Talisman hidden? Well... mmmmhhh...  You lost!  It lies
in Valathar's Dungeon!
