D10: The Strange Rumours – Recursions: Atlantis

WorldsThe Strange is a game published by Monte Cook Games. It is, at least in part, set in the normal world, but there are other worlds out there, in the Strange. This list has ten rumours for that setting, similar to the various different adventure hooks in the books, and these can be used as adventure hooks or simple misinformation.

  1. Agents from Atlantis have apparently been seen on Earth, but unusually these agents haven’t been official ones but ones working on behalf of a group that is opposed to the current leadership of the recursion. Just what they’ve been doing isn’t precisely known, but it’s believed that the agents have been seeking out resources and potential allies.
  2. An Atlantean called Dajmoria has reportedly been sending out agents to meet with the representatives of the more powerful agencies, when it comes to the Strange, of Earth and other recursions, apparently seeking some kind of alliance. It’s said that no-one has outright rejected her advances as yet, even if they aren’t sure what benefit can be gained from them.
  3. Atlanteans almost never use robotic or conjured servitors, even though both are easily possible in the recursion, with ordinary humans filling most of the menial jobs. It’s rumoured that some of Atlantis believe that humans should be replaced with more reliable servitors such as robots, but few seem to agree with this idea.
  4. Darum Tal Alumust is the God-King of Atlantis who takes the form of a tall, golden-skinned man in his very rare public appearances in the recursion. There are rumours, though, that the God-King’s true form is something entirely different from the one he is seen in.
  5. Humans, rather than the Atlanteans of human descent, make up the majority of the inhabitants of Atlantis, as well as the majority of those in more menial positions, though the minority of those possessing the spark. It’s rumoured that some of the humans who possess the spark are attempting to turn their fellows against their overlords.
  6. It’s rumoured that agents of Atlantis have been infiltrating the terrestrial governments and attempting to turn them towards autocracies. This is said to be so that there are only a limited number of people who actually have power, and enabling the Atlanteans to rule the world through them.
  7. It’s said that the Estate is trying to gain information on Darum Tal Alumust, the ruler of Atlantis, though it’s not known if there’s currently any purpose beyond this information gathering than simply the gathering of information itself on a powerful individual who may not have Earth’s best interests at heart.
  8. Many sections of the city of Atlantis delve below the water’s surface, and it’s rumoured that some of them have parts that delve even deeper than that, heading into the ground far below and even into molten realms where lava is used to power strange technologies.
  9. The Estate is trying to determine just what it was that became Atlantis in the distant past, but this is proving difficult to accomplish, given how long ago it was and that there is really only one person, Darum Tal Alumust, who knows just what happened, and Darum is not likely to talk about the matter.
  10. There are rumours that Atlantean technology has recently started surfacing on Earth in strange places, and moreover this technology, which should in theory not work on Earth, has proven to be able to do so. There are concerns about just why and how this is happening.
