“We traveled east of the city and outside the walls on the glacier there is a field of strange columns that glow with the light of Hel. Be careful!”

DM-only gazetteer information

These are obelisks that were outside the city perimeter to be repaired.

Rumor 0004 (DM)

Player gazetteer information

A rumor is spreading that a longship nearing Trade Town saw a group of skraelings further back down the coast.

DM-only gazetteer information

It’s actually members of a tribe of wendigo-touched, cannibalistic humanoids that worship Ithaqua (DDG, Mythos) and may actually lair with ghouls.

Rumor 0003 (DM)

Player gazetteer information

A notice tacked up to the door of Norsemen’s Rest: “Lars Troll-Killer is accepting donations to defray the expenses of transporting the timber to build a dock in the harbor. Donations should be presented in person inside.”

DM-only gazetteer information

Lars Troll-Killer will build the dock regardless. He’s just trying to see who is a sniveling suck-up, and find out who has excess coin so that the Axes Of Odin can keep an eye on them.

Rumor 0001 (DM)

Player gazetteer information

A hulking, upright beast covered in pristine white bristles has been seen stalking the elk in hills northeast of Trade Town. It possesses four powerful arms with iron-like claws. Its head is blunt, with lightless, deep-set eyes. It moves with an unsettling, skittering grace.

DM-only gazetteer information

It’s a white-furred, four-armed ape that escaped from The Onyx City and is hunting.

Rumor 0002 (DM)

Player gazetteer information

Overheard: “Don’t drink the water!”

DM-only gazetteer information

Some of the water in The Onyx City is infected with a disease that drives the drinker mad. It’s the roid worms of The Black City.

Rumor 0000 (DM)

Player gazetteer information

Overheard at the marketplace: “The frost dragon lives in an ice cave on a free-floating iceberg. Give all icebergs of size a wide berth lest you end up its dinner!”
