This is a collection of 100 different rumours that can be used with the official Urth setting for Shadow of the Demon Lord. These rumours can be discovered by characters who are asking around for information.

Some of the rumours are truthful, some are false and some are distortions, although all can be adjust by the GameMaster as appropriate. They may be used as a source of background colour for characters inquiring about other matters, as a source of potential adventure hooks or as hooks to get characters to visit new locations.

To use the rumours, either roll d100 for a random result or select suitable ones manually.

Here are some sample results:

34. Langala is the island that is home to the Kingdom of Sails’ salvage fleet, a place where all sorts of wrecks and ships are towed to for reclamation. Supposedly, a new, unknown type of ship has recently been discovered and has been towed there in secret. The ship is said to be made of a strange black metal that floats and to contain a powerful relic that has killed everyone who has touched it, or even come too close to it.
35. Long before the Empire conquered the Grand Duchy of the West, other inhabitants occupied the region. They had disappeared well before the Empire moved in, leaving only some signs of their existence. These occupants never died out; they moved elsewhere instead. Now, they are coming back and they want their land back as well.
36. Mages from the Tower Arcane that floats above Caecras have been seen in the city below in greater numbers recently. The mages have always been withdrawn, observers and advisors of the Empire
rather than being actively involved, and barely paid attention to the orc uprising. So why have they started being more active now? Are they looking for something or is King Drudge their puppet, the means by which they have secretly taken control of the
Empire?
