It's been some time since we last saw the Crier, the blessings of Erollisi must truly be upon us as he is here to share his knowledge, gleaned from a long trek into foreign lands.

News and Strange Tidings

The first steps of the Crier's most recent journey took him to Allakhazam's Magical Realm where he spotted non other than Calthine who was busy scribing a guide for those who are interested in learning how to begin their career as a tradeskiller in Norrath.

The folks wielding the Ten Ton Hammer once again harassed the Crier until he would stop and listen to their news. This time they wanted him to share the word about their new and updated 'Definitive Paladin Guide' that incorporates much that has been learned about these holy warriors.
