Lore & Dialog
Original rumors:
 * Town Crier tells you, "Have you heard of an Empyrean named Metos? I do not know what is significant about him, but adventurers have reported strange discoveries in the Halls that bear his name."


 * Town Crier tells you, "Did you know Metos was actually a person? Apparently he was an Empyrean expert in the construction of Golems, and a friend of Asheron. You learn something new every day..."


 * Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Metos? He was a hack. Many of his Golems are still functioning to this day. What kind of design is that? A smart engineer would design the Golems to break down after a few years. That way people have to go to you to fix or replace them. Perfect job security. What's the use of making ones that just keep working forever? See, and everyone keeps talking about how smart Empyreans are."

 * Golem Warden of Metos tells you, "For you who have come this far, I leave a message. Your diligence is appreciated, even applauded, but you should not attempt to reconstruct the portal to Bur. I have learned only too well the risks associated with opening portals to other worlds, and alloing them to remain open. It is better if my portal remains closed. I should be able to repoen it when it is time for me to return. At this point, I shall hopefully have with me a solution to the Burun problem."
 * Golem Warden of Metos tells you, "Also, I imagine that Metos would have appreciated if I mention that there are no inactive golems available for you. Unfortunately, I required the last one for the portal ritual."
