Royal courts are filled to the brim with rumours, and any one might be lethal for people. Here are 6 you can use in a game, either as things that could spark off a quest, or ideas to overhear while at a ball.
1. The recent orders to expel refugees from the border may have had an ulterior motive- some say that spies have been trying to infiltrate disguised as pilgrims! 2. Lady Valotton appeared at the ball last week in a scandalous outfit spun out of Phase Spider web. It was magnificent until the entire dress all, er, ...phased out at once. 3. Someone's been hiring mercenaries out on the Eastern March recently- several companies have been hired in their entirety at once, and won't discuss details of the contracts. 4. The Seneschal has been glimpsed visiting a very doubtful tavern by the docks, twice a month like clockwork. He wears a long cloak with a hood, but how many 6'4" people wearing silver-filigreed cloaks do you know? 5. Some people say that the new flower patterns in the palace gardens have a hidden meaning. Some say they form arcane patterns of entrapment centred on the dungeons, while others say they show different words if you view them from a distance while bending your head to the correct angle. One thing's for certain- those new purple tulips have a fabulous colour! 6. Several of the serving-men in the palace have reported feeling watched while going about their business. It's been a generation since the spirit of the Whispering Lady was seen- perhaps she has returned? Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 8 May 2021. Comments are closed.
