Wolves were found, I wonder if I can make some use of them. Can they be mounted?

     – Al Garb (12)
Of all the Vain Sciences, none is vainer than the art of taxonomy. We shall defy the usual naming conventions, and the creature some call "dragon" we shall "soldier-devouring-lizard". We shall be keeping a keen eye out for "ambushers-in-the-dark" (trolls).

     – Children of the Four Winds (19)
The weather winter is mild in this world. In fact, not much different than the summer. That magical gate chose the perfect region for us, I wonder what it would look like in the north.

     – Fanhunters (21)
Uhm... We envy. But only to one faction. They've met our old friends, mucho ahead before our retaliation group WILL (hopefully) do.

     – Hammerheads (14)
Our grain and livestock are growing well. Market is full of goods. We need to extend our markets in the most peaceful manner we can. We hope our neighbors will be inspired by our efforts and would join us.

     – Joyful People (10)
This is a rumour that the dwellers are looking to expand into our lands, if only they would talk to us so we know their intent.

     – Malibuwest (15)
So also this world becomes crowded. Unknown scouts sneaking here and there. This must be stopped. We have some men with looking glasses; and we have our informers, who tell what they see and what rumours are around...
And, yes. We are People Of The Lie, sometimes we lie, sometimes we tell truth. You decision is to trust us or not.

     – People of the Lie (20)
The desert tribes have been reunited. There is still resistance but dissidents are captured and executed every day.
The black tower, made of bones and granite, is erected in the middle of the settlement. The blazing fire which burns at its top in the night attracts other more distant tribes who come to join the Legion.
The Master is happy and kills some renegades with his own hands or pushing them from the top of the tower.
The messengers are reassured that he found this other way to express his satisfaction.

     – The Scoured Legion (18)
We've heard the rumors of a fart coallition forming in the South. Dire news indeed.

     – Skulls (26)
"Well, fuck me." said Edwin looking at all the spoils of the battle.
"Any time darling." commented Lorelei then realizing what the wizard was looking at even she turned silent.
"Shit are those all gems?" asked Zodd.
"Yep." replied Edwin then added. "I wonder if these merfolk had any idea what kind of riches they possessed. Shit, that's more than..."
"Hush." said Lorelei putting her delicate hand over Edwin's mouth. "Try to remember that we have some human followers now. Unlike our goblin and ogre friends they DO know how to count."
"You are right. We need to hide this stuff and smuggle it to the nearest city and sell it." said Edwin in a hushed voice.
"Make it three cities. We can't flood the market of a single city." said Zodd.
"All right. Let me handle this. You take care of the rest. And have the troops dig some graves. Those corpses are starting to stink already. They smell like rotten fish." suggested Lorelei.
"Nah, that's probably the fish cart over there. They had a lot of food stockpiled. Grain and livestock as well. We'll have no trouble feeding our troops for a while. Looks like we are eating some very fine steak tonight." said Zodd with a smile.

     – Wandering Monsters (16)
- Move, move, move, I'm tired of that. Every moth I'm getting the same order.
- Move, you lazy scout!

     – Windmasters (13)

Rumors
Some cities will fell rather soon as surprise to other rivals
Don't stand against Hammerheads, they have foul odore - they eat too much mushrooms.
Malibu West is bluffing about his plains defence - he is using a handful of halflings to block people.
So many cities are falling all around. But what about us?
Steps go down, its dark in the underworld, really really dark.
Eating maggots from an elf corpse gives you a glimpse of immortality.
Oh, let's go
a leader walks down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
fireballs ready to go
Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the gateway fireballs rip
To the sound of the beat, yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another leader gone, another leader gone
Another faction bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another faction bites the dust
How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you when you're gone?
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my hex
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the gateway fireballs rip
To the sound of the beat
Another one bites the dust…
By studying the skull of the leader of the Skulls [26], it appears that it measures approximately the size of that of a goblin. We can deduce the (very low) extent of his intelligence.
Avoid the world below. It's full of monsters and they are already spawning.
It's a good warning!
Poor centaur fed himself
On a sunny plain.
Spotted was by one dark elf
The moon harvest his pain
Ogres are big. Ogres are strong. But orcs will eat ogres.
