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 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. Eletta Salt is the vampire who is the current leader of the Code, those who pledge themselves to Law, not Chaos. It’s rumoured that a number of attempts have been made recently to get rid of Salt, but the vampire has so far proven far too wily to be taken down by any assassin.
2. Gloaming seems very similar to modern Earth, except that the population doesn’t like being out at night, even though most don’t know why. It’s said that those inhabitants who delve too deeply into the why of it sometimes disappear during the day as well.
3. The Conclave of Chaos in Gloaming consists of those beings who devote themselves to Chaos. It’s rumoured that some of the Conclave go a little too far, even by its standards, in the pursuit of chaos, going to extremes in their behaviour that endanger the others.
4. Those in the know about Gloaming know that there are two factions that govern the place, one being the Code. The Code is a set of rigid rules that those abiding by it follow, though it’s rumoured that they are too rigid, and that strict adherence can cause more problems than it solves.
