Here are six rumours for characters to hear in or about Festival in Castorhage, also called the Blight, of the Lost Lands setting. They could hear these rumours whilst asking around for other information, or stumble across them in other ways. Whether or not a rumour is true, false or somewhere in between is up to the GameMaster. The rumours can be used as a source of background colour, misinformation or as potential adventure hooks.
Almost half of Festival is covered by the Crimson Lantern, the city’s red-light district. As well as the more normal pleasures pursued, there are rumoured to be even stranger ones sought, and provided for, with some of the most illegal being available, albeit not openly, in some of the darkest corners of the district.
Festival is a huge, artificial island built on top of a low hill in the Great Lyme River. It’s rumoured that recently parts of the island have been suffering from structural issues, with a number of poorly-maintained locations plunging into the river as a result.
Festival is notorious, both within and without Castorhage itself, for the various scams that are run on the unwitting. Most of these scams are simply intended to separate the gullible from their money, but it’s rumoured that there are a few being run with much darker outcomes.
Freakshows are hardly unheard of in Festival, and some have more than a little fame. It’s rumoured that there are darker freakshows that can be found tucked away in out of the way parts of Festival, where true horrors and freaks can be seen. Given what can be seen at normal freakshows, there is speculation about just what might be so bad that it couldn’t be shown in such.
It’s rumoured that someone in the Jaunt is building their own private little empire within Festival, and no-one has been able to stop them so far. It’s also said there’s a substantial price on this individual’s head from those who would prefer that they be convinced to cease their operations, preferably by removing said head from their body.
Those unfamiliar with Festival can easily get lost in the district, which can cause a host of problems, as there are people willing to prey on them in various ways. Even worse, sometimes people get lost because of the effects of Between on the area, and those that get lost that way are rarely seen again.

Numenera is a game published by Monte Cook Games. Its setting is the Ninth World, and this list has four rumours for that setting. The rumours, which are similar to the Use that can be found with creature descriptions in the official books, can be used as adventure hooks or as simple misinformation.
A thuman has been encountered on the roads and behaving strangely. It’s watching those who apss by carefully, and sometimes is launching attacks if they go in a certain direction, though stopping as soon as the direction has changed, or the thuman is at risk. Some wonder if the thuman is protecting its master in some way.
Terahydras have been raiding an outlying village, flying down from their nests to swoop off with the village’s livestock, and sometimes other things. The behaviour is a bit odd for tetrahydras, as they seem to be acting in cooperation with each other and selecting specific targets, as well as continually raiding the same place.
Travonis ul are walking appetites from an unknown world that constantly look for cellular matter to eat. They are intelligent, but so alien that no-one has been unable to understand how they think. Travonis ul are also far too dangerous to try to communicate with, but that isn’t always enough to stop someone from trying. A Nano believes that, despite lacking any known ability to communicate, travonis ul can communicate and wants to capture one to try and talk to it.
Varakith are insect like creatures that nest underground and which are surprisingly intelligent. They are normally found alone or in pairs, but there are rumours that beneath the surface are larger realms of varakith, where the creatures live in dozens, if not hundreds.
