Here are some sample results:

• The Horsemen of Vangal on the Plains of Lede live to slaughter and destruction and they do not appear to be bothered who it is they strike, whether this be caravans, settlers, roc tribes or anyone else who gets in their way. There's a rumour, though, that the attacks of the Horsemen are not quite as random as they seem, though attempting to find a pattern, or divine a final intent, is not easy.
• The inhabitants of the Toe Islands turned to piracy after their economy collapsed, with different bands preying on the merchant shipping of the area. The pirates are one of a number of hazards of the region, and they must also contend with those other hazards, as well as increasingly well protected merchant ships. It's rumoured that some of the pirate bands are starting to amalgamate and work together so that they are more capable of dealing with the other hazards and their prey.
• The Khuun-do of the Bleak Savannah are the most militant of the humans that live in the region, with a third of them mobilised and under arms at any one time. There are rumours that the Khuun-do are seeking alliances with others to provide non-military support so that even more of the Khuun can be in the military at any time, which could greatly increase their ability to defeat any titanspawn around.
• The kraken Queen Ran lost control over much of the Blood Sea to the pisceans, who rebelled with the black krakens, after she unleashed the Blood Monsoon. Though Ran remained in power, she was unable to maintain her control of the sea. There are rumours, though, that Ran has started to move against the pisceans, undermining the creatures and bringing more back to her side, or simply killing those who resist, as she seeks to retake the sea.
• The lake known as Adurn's Tear in the Kelders where the Veshian commander Adurn fell against the Calastians at the Battle of Twisted Timbers is since then known to always remain pure and pristine, despite what may happen elsewhere. There's a rumour, though, that the lake's water has started to take on a taint, suggesting that whatever has, up until now, kept the water pure is starting to fail.
