The 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. Camboglanna is an ancient Roman fort in Camelot Le Morte is controlled by Mordred, leader of much of the recursion’s organised resistance to the maladie de la machine. It’s rumoured that Mordred’s attempts to secure the fortress from the maladie have not been as effective as he would like.
2. Hollow knights are suits of armour enchanted by Mordred to move and fight of their own accord. It’s rumoured, though, that what animates the armour isn’t, strictly speaking, magic that Mordred has cast, but the spirits of the dead Arthur’s bastard son has trapped inside them.
3. Mordred, leader of Camboglanna and bastard son of Arthur, has the ability to code magic into tattoos. It’s rumoured that some of those who fight for him only do so because Mordred inscribed tattoos into their skin that compel them to do so.
4. Queen Gwenhwyfar keeps the rotting remains of Arthur within the royal bedchamber. It’s rumoured that some element of the king still lives on, and that if Merlin, or someone else of similar power, were able to get their hands on Arthur’s body, they might be able to restore the king to what he once was.
5. Sir Kay seems to have much of his original personality, though he is still totally loyal to Queen Gwenhwyfar. It’s said that Sir Kay’s behaviour allows him to lure the unsuspecting into what now remains of Camelot, and those to which he does this do not suspect the truth until it is far too late.
6. Sir Percival, of all the Knights of the Round Table, is the one who seems to have had his original personality most removed. However, some claim that this is because Percival is playing along, pretending to be almost completely overwritten so that he can finally strike back against the plague that has overtaken Camelot.
7. The castle of Camelot in Camelot Le Morte is riddled with metallic wire that connects the various inhabitants, who have been converted into mécanisme, together. It’s said that this connection greatly boosts the ability of those mécanisme who are in the network, just like computers connected together.
8. The maladie de la machine is a disease that has converted many of the inhabitants of Camelot Le Morte into mécanisme, machine creatures. It’s rumoured that a number of incidents have happened in which the maladie has nearly escaped from Camelot to taint other recursions.
9. The mécanisme that was Sir Galahad is said to be seeking to sit on the Siege Perilous, given his name appeared on it, or seeking out the Holy Grail, but Queen Gwenhwyfar has forbidden him from doing either. It’s rumoured that this is causing problems in controlling Galahad, and that the queen is considering that she may be best off ending him.
10. The Siege Perilous is the Round Table seat reserved by Merlin for the person who finds the Holy Grail, and so far, every mécanisme who has tried to sit in it immediately died. It’s rumoured that Queen Gwenhwyfar has taken to trying unconverted humans in the seat as well, to see if that makes a difference.
