Sometimes while recovering from your last adventure, doing mundane things, traveling, or even just sitting around in the tavern having ale and a meal, you’ll hear rumours of things that are going on around Osis and the surrounding areas. You can then investigate these rumours if you so choose and get involved in different things.

GM Note: After you all get the handle on the mechanics and the setting, you’ll also get a lot more freedom to chose what you want to do next and these rumours are just an easy way of giving you some ready made options. I’ll make a note when they might be (In my opinion) especially relevant to your character for some reason.

• A noble woman is looking to acquire a unique item to use a centerpiece for their Festival of Renewal ball, as well as special entertainment and foodstuffs (Anna Lynn, Nilkka)
• The Silver Strand Academy is hiring adventurers and guards for an academic expedition to a secret location to the northwest of Osis. (Bryn, Anna Lynn)
• The Orc Lord’s minions are raiding and attacking with greater frequency to the north of Osis and there people being hired to scout out locations for new or refurbished fortifications. (Bryn)
• Whitemane has been hiring more agents than usual for some unknown reason. (Anna Lynn, Tormach)
• Animals in the farms, ranches, and wildlands around Osis have increasingly gone insane, attacking people or killing themselves in bizarre ways (Belgae)
• For several months, minor merchants and other travelers have been found gutted and headless in the Sky Quarter and Twisted Halls in the days after a full moon. The City Guard and privately hired individuals have looked into the situation, but they either disappear or end up as the next victim.
