Agent of the Arcanum tells you, "Greetings, adventurer. I have been sent here by the Arcanum to provide Writs of Refuge in return for various items needed to prepare for any coming turmoil that threatens the Isparian presence here on Ispar. Nuhmudira has informed us that creatures of old may soon be stalking the earth. And these creatures hold items of value. Items that we can use. If you come across a Crest of the Falatacot, a Ring of Mummified Skin, or a Quiddity Crystal, I am able to exchange a Writ of Refuge for any one of these items. What we need may change at any time, so be prepared." 

Agent of the Arcanum tells you, "Apparently the creatures who hold these items may not be abroad in the land quite yet. When they first appear, we shall herald their presence and repeat our warning for as long as they stalk the earth." 

Agent of the Arcanum tells you, "Once you possess the Writ of Refuge, then you have satisfied the main requirements for acquiring a home. The Covenant Crystals also require money and other minor items, but those items should not be in short supply. Enjoy your homestead! One note: Nuhmudira has set aside a small number of palatial estates for those allegiances thought to be most worthy of their ownership, and the most generous with their resources. She has not opened them up yet, but she will soon." 

Newbie Templates Updated!

Julian's Touch reports that if you give a Pumpkin Head to the Mask Maker's apprentice, you will get a Flaming Pumpkinhead!

Flaming Skull

Flaming Pumpkinhead

It's a skull, that burns within with a strange supernatural flame. You can sense a strange, latent magic within it. When it is thrown in combat, it will mystically replenish itself, tapping into the magic until it is exhausted. It's a pumpkin, that burns within with a strange supernatural flame.

Ecorto the Lost Director currently resides in Zaikhal.
Ecorto the Lost Director tells you, "Greetings, human.  Call me Ecorto.  I
have disjoined myself from those who plan your eradication because I
disagree with their methods.  Their plan to construct a New Singularity in
this realm is madness.  Even now they gather and imbue material to construct their monstrous dream.  Find the repositories of the New Singularity in the desert, the southern mountains and the Obsidian Plains, human."

Ecorto the Lost Director gives you Ecorto's Chisel.
Ecorto the Lost Director tells you, "Take this chisel, scrape slivers from
the pillars they assemble, and bring the joined elements back to me... Be
careful, however.  The Singular material is quite strong, and could break
the chisel."
