Greenspire, Redspire and Bluespire Taken Over!
More updated Townspeople Sayings can be found here!

GREENSPIRE
--NPC: Valentina du Lurio
Valentina du Lurio tells you, "Welcome to Greenspire, friend. Don't you just love this local color? Such a primitive little town. Reminds me much of those outlying settlements on the border of Aluvia and Viamont. I wonder how quickly it would burn."
--NPC: Caprice du Bellenesse
Caprice du Bellenesse tells you, "My husband led the invasion that took Marae Lassel. Such a brave, strong man. He has done well in distancing our house from his traitorous uncle. One day, the name Bellenesse will stand for courage and honor again."
--NPC: Tito Brickicci
Tito Brickicci tells you, "Ah, the glory of battle. It is a wonderful thing, is it not?"
--NPC: Eliza du Curena
Eliza du Curena tells you, "Greetings. I suppose you're looking for that Britana woman, yes? You'll do yourself a favor if you forget you ever heard of her. She came from bad blood, even for one of the Bloodless, and King Varicci did us all a favor when he locked her away. At any rate, I am a far better businesswoman that she ever could have dreamed to be, and I have taken over this establishment and will continue crafting Mattekar Robes."
Eliza du Curena tells you, "They say that there is a great white Mattekar that stalks the northern coast of this island. I understand that its coat can be crafted into a quite excellent robe. Bring one to me, and we'll see if we can do business."
--NPC: Romeo Osemmi
Romeo Osemmi tells you, "Back off, you. I've a job to do."
--Landmark - Greenspire Viamont Tower

REDSPIRE
--NPC: Lucio Murrio
Lucio Murrio tells you, "Have you come across the beasts they call Tumeroks? Such fascinating savagery. I've never seen their like."
--NPC: Piero Cenizzi
Piero Cenizzi tells you, "The climate is certainly warmer here than on our frigid isles. I say this was quite a fine idea our King had. Quite fine, indeed."
--NPC: Niccolo Brasi
Niccolo Brasi tells you, "Welcome to the Viamontian town of Redspire. If I had known the Bloodless would fall as easily as these curs, I would have counseled war long ago."
--Landmark - Redspire Viamont Tower

BLUESPIRE
--NPC: Otto Selino
Otto Selino tells you, "I am ever fascinated by the new constellations viewable from this world. I wonder, are these the same stars I saw on Ispar, but viewed from a whole new angle? Or are these completely different stars altogether?"
Otto Selino tells you, "When I contemplate the vastness of existence... well, it makes me a little ill, it does."
--NPC: Vettorio Bilcone
Vettorio Bilcone tells you, "Before we took this town, Salvito and I made a wager as to exactly how long the fight would last. I am happy to say that I won that wager. Five minutes of fighting, it was. And most of that was spent regrouping after we portaled in."
--NPC: Turino Ribini
Turino Ribini tells you, "The King has commissioned me with the most important of tasks. I am to tax the life out of the Bloodless on this island. They have many pyreals squirreled away in chests and mattresses. But soon that will change. We will bleed these dogs dry."
--NPC: Salvito di Marden
Salvito di Marden tells you, "Welcome to the Viamontian town of Bluespire. Watch your step."
--Landmark - Bluespire Viamont Tower

Marae Lassel Shopkeepers Imprisoned!
Trieze of FF reports: "Hiya Maggie, I was going around the spires on ML, since I'm to low of a level to hit the new island. I noticed most of the NPC's there mentioned that certain people were captured, and taken away by the viamonts. The interesting thing was the viamont woman who replaced Britana in greenspire said that she came from a bad blood line, even for bloodless. That and a unusable portal in greenspire makes me think something is up.

On top of that, it seems like the Carenzi rebels are really irritating the king. It appears they can not use magic inside of their jail cells. They are in the same prison as the eleanor's heart quest, in cells that can't open up."

Baggs tells you, "None of the magics work in these cells. I can't return home, and I don't know how long they plan to keep me here. You there, avenge us! Avenge us!"

Klars tells you, "Just before they locked me here, I heard the leader of the guards say something about carenzi rebels. What does that mean?"

Britana tells you, "I don't understand. Why can I not return to the Lifestone in Greenspire? What magic is this?"

(Reward - 2,600,000xp)

--NPC: Robert Gutsmasher (Rebel Hideout - 43.9N, 73.9W)
Robert Gutsmasher tells you, "When the Viamontians stole into our cities under cover of darkness, we were wholly unprepared. They killed many for sport, then slew then again at their lifestones. The Viamontians knew they could not entirely kill our people, but that didn't stop them from their murderous lust, laughing and shouting at the screams of the dying."
Robert Gutsmasher tells you, "Now the damnable curs occupy our towns while we scratch out a living in this meager cave. I would seek revenge on those augmented beasts if I were more able. But I am forced to remain here and oversee the feeding of our sick and wounded."
Robert Gutsmasher tells you, "You, however, could do me a favor. There is a type of Viamontian Knight called the Man-At-Arms. Those ones, I find especially irritating. Kill 50 of them for me, and I will reward you for your efforts."

Red Raevyn of FF reports: "The Leviathan (and the Remorans) has/have an awesome set of animations, from floating their flapping their wings to gliding over to hit you, and doing some flips in their attacks. The Shallows Gorgers hit HARD, and are almost always in packs, but the new hunting is pretty good because you can find most anything by itself. It's not as annoyingly group-centric as Caul, at least in the beginning parts."

New Quest - Rebel Hideout
Dalevin Earnharvick of MT reports: "Hi Maggie, Was wandering around ML this morning and found a cave at 43.9N 73.9W. When I went down, I found the rebel hideout. I talked to everyone and found a rag tag crew including a Viamontian rebel and a cast that seems very similar to the cast in Red Dawn... but that's just a coincidence im sure. :)"

Quest Details: Rebel Hideout
--Rebel Hideout - 43.9N, 73.9W
--Dungeon - Back Tunnels (No level restriction)
--NPCs: Daniel, Gromnie, Matthias Eckhart, Arica, Antonia, Count Tenera, Dar Rell, Robert Gutsmasher, Jedeth Eckhart

Gromnie tells you, "Yeah, they call me Gromnie. It's a long story."

Daniel tells you, "I don't know about this. I just want to go home. The Viamontians, they're Isparians too. But Jed says we can't, and Robert... whenever I try to talk to him, he just tells me to kill more Knights."

Matthias Eckhart tells you, "When Varicci's men came, we were just able to get out of town before they raised those towers. We came here and we've been making attacks and raids when we can. We're not going to just sit back and let them take over our homes! We call ourselves the Carenzi, because we're fierce and quick!"

Arica tells you, "Things are different now."

Antonia tells you, "Tell You think you're brave? Have you ever led four Viamontian Knights into an ambush without a weapon in your hand? I didn't think so."

Count Tenera tells you, "When I heard that Varicci had invaded Marae Lassel, I knew that the resistance here would need help. I didn't expect to find a bunch of kids hiding out in a valley, but they have spirit."

Dar Rell tells you, "What good are we doing? A bunch of nobodies trying to fend off an invading army. Impossible! Sometimes I think we should lay down our arms and go back home."

Robert Gutsmasher tells you, "When the Viamontians stole into our cities under cover of darkness, we were wholly unprepared. They killed many for sport, then slew then again at their lifestones. The Viamontians knew they could not entirely kill our people, but that didn't stop them from their murderous lust, laughing and shouting at the screams of the dying."

Robert Gutsmasher tells you, "Now the damnable curs occupy our towns while we scratch out a living in this meager cave. I would seek revenge on those augmented beasts if I were more able. But I am forced to remain here and oversee the feeding of our sick and wounded."
Robert Gutsmasher tells you, "You, however, could do me a favor. There is a type of Viamontian Knight called the Man-At-Arms. Those ones, I find especially irritating. Kill 50 of them for me, and I will reward you for your efforts."

Jedeth Eckhart tells you, "Those Viamontian scum are up to something! Our scouts have reported a large gathering of soldiers, but they don't seem to be doing anything. We need someone to sneak into their midst to find out what their plan is. Use the Back Tunnel to sneak in and find out what they are up to."
Jedeth Eckhart tells you, "Be careful! Those Viamontian are well trained and would easily skewer one so puny as yourself!"

"Just follow the path down the the Back Tunnels portal (no level restrction), sadly I have to go to work so someone else will have to get the glory of finishing up the write up. All I saw was a tribune so I gather a fellow might be required depending on how thick the mob gets further down. Enjoy!"

Arcanum Refurbisher tells you, "Over the years, we find that the elements of this land are often unkind to a number of our prize possessions. The wind and rains erode statues, dampness causes the colors of our prized pack animals to change oddly, and even the magics of the world itself play havok with some of the more.. disturbing... of our decorations."
Arcanum Refurbisher tells you, "This parchment contains a list of items that we of the Arcanum know to be most severely affected by the climate of this world. Should you find that you are in possession of one of these damaged items, please bring it to me and I'll see what I can do about getting it fixed up for you."
Arcanum Refurbisher tells you, "While I have the utmost confidence in my ability to repair such things, I have been unable to capture the knack of retaining any personalizations. This means that my repairs will obliterate any inscriptions you, or someone you know, may have etched into the item."
Arcanum Refurbisher tells you, "If you have any sentimental attachment to those inscriptions, I would recommend that you refrain from using the service I offer."
Arcanum Refurbisher gives you Refurbisher's Tally.
