D4: The Strange Rumours – Ardeyn: Borderlands

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 four 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. Objects, and people, that fall from the cliffs of Ardeyn’s Borderlands tend to fall several miles to shatter on a deeper portion of the cliff that has a less severe slops, rather than drift off into the Strange. It’s said, though, that certain things don’t fall to break on the cliffs below, but do instead float into the Strange, clearly overriding the effects of Ardeyn’s gravity, perhaps with some sort of attraction from the Strange itself.
  2. The Borderlands of Ardeyn encircle the Daylands and are where the laws of Ardeyn fail as the Strange takes hold. Beyond the Borderlands float lands called skerries, and it’s said that the skerries might once have been attached to Ardeyn proper. It’s rumoured that the Strange gradually affects the borders of Ardeyn, causing skerries to float free from the land, and that eventually the entire place will float off into the Strange in separate pieces.
  3. The skerries that float around the Borderlands of Ardeyn are protected by a remnant of Ardeyn’s Seven Rules that stops them from being group up by the Strange, but it’s said that whatever caused the skerries to float free is an ongoing process, and the skerries themselves are undergoing slow disintegration over time.
  4. The weather in Ardeyn’s Borderlands is not only atrocious, it is also highly variable, changing from one extreme to the next between one day and the next. It’s rumoured that the weather conditions now are even worse than they used to be, with the weather changing much more rapidly than it once did. There are fears that, if this is true, it may continue in this way, perhaps ending up with multiple changes of weather every hour.
