Characters can come across snippets of gossip and rumours when asking around for information. This supplement has 100 such for Aihrde, primarily for the Lands of Ursal.
The rumours can be used as sources of misinformation, background colour or as potential adventure hooks. Whether or not a particular rumour is true is up to the GM.
To use the list, either roll d100 for a random result or select appropriate ones manually.
Here are some sample results:
32. One of the Tagean Isles is, according to legend, the isle of Ibernia where Arnulf the monk hid the Falkhynjager, the Grail of Jaren One Hand. No-one has found the Grail as yet, but there is a riddle that supposedly gives a clue. Recently, one searcher has claimed that the riddle is incomplete, that lines were removed from it to further add to the Grail’s security. They say they have worked out where the rest of the riddle is hidden.
33. Over the years, many human apprentices have travelled to Fontenouq to learn the arts of the magi from the elven princes and, over the years, many have failed to return. In recent years, though, it seems the number of would-be apprentices who fail to return from Fontenouq has increased substantially. No-one seems to know why this is and, according to the elves, the apprentices never reached them in the first place.
34. Pirates from the Confederation of Torrich and Eloria are causing increasing problems in the Bay of Barachia. The pirates have been raiding merchant ships for some time, but now there are rumours that the pirates are no longer acting as individual ships. Instead, they are grouping together into pairs or larger, which is allowing them to take on better protected targets. Even, it is said, some naval vessels, who were outnumbered, surrounded and sunk.
