100 Hooks and Rumours to Hear in the Pirate Nations

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This is a selection of one hundred different rumours that could be discovered by characters in the Pirate Nations. Whether or not any of these rumours are true is up to the GameMaster. Some rumours are based on the truth whilst others may have misinterpretations and some do have elements that are definitely not true, or at least not canon. An individual GM can decide that they are true in their campaign.

These rumours can be used as potential adventure hooks or as simple misinformation or background colour to be used whilst characters are looking for other information.

Here are some sample results:

  • Lærke Ulriksdottir, the Chief of Security of the Atabean Trading Company, is best known as the martial face of the Company, happy to crack heads or kill people, something she enjoys doing. However, it's rumoured that Lærke is more subtle than she might initially seem. That, though she does enjoy violence as much as it seems, she has also set up a network of spies and informers across the Atabean Sea and beyond, all funneling valuable information on anything back to the Company.
  • Les Alpes Azurées on Jaragua are a rich source of many minerals, and conflict, sometimes violent, has arisen between the Jaraguan government and the Chiefdom of Mariana over the ownership of these minerals. Recently, things seem to have intensified, with both sides having lost miners, though both also deny at least some of the attacks, suggesting there may be a third party trying to stir up trouble.
  • Madame Murmur, the owner of the gambling den called Le Gros Vert on La Bucca, is said to have won the den in a game of cards and, despite frequently being challenged to games with the gambling hall as the prize, never loses. Some whisper that such cannot be natural, that no-one, no matter how lucky or skilled, can maintain the sort of winning streak that Madame Murmur has. They say she has some sort of artefact that alters chance in her favour.
  • Mangrove Base, Chaplain Nkansa's former headquarters on Jaragua, came under the control of the Maiana after the Atabean Trading Company was driven from the island, and is now the seat of government for Chief Pablo de la Cruz. Though other Jaraguans are still welcome there, many are unhappy that de la Cruz now controls the base. There are rumours that some are so unhappy that they intend to drive the Mariana out of the settlement once and for all.
  • Many ghouls have been spotted wandering Les Alpes Azurées on Jaragua, and the local ngangas are finding the presence of so many ghouls of apparently Théan origin extremely strange. Recently, there have been reports that the ghouls, who feed on unwary animals and humans, have been appearing in greater numbers and behaving in a strangely organised fashion, something that would be even more disturbing, should it prove to be true.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
