Here are some sample results:

• The Artisan's District of Yndaros was for some time in turmoil, after the Queen decided a guild system be installed, as various individual competed for the master and grandmaster seals of the different guilds. Many of the survivors left, which resulted in the bloody fighting dying down, but recently there are rumours it's started up again, albeit in a more subtle way, with coordinated programmes of assassination being carried out against certain candidates.
• The bandit ogre known as Mound has a gang of goblins and tamed rage trolls and causes problems in the area around Yndaros. Recently, it seems that the ogre has recruited, or perhaps intimidated, more followers into joining him, increasing the size of his group and enabling him to cause more destruction and go after bigger targets.
• The barbarian clans sometimes war amongst themselves, but haven't done in some time due to the arrival of the Ambrians and the various threats from Davokar. However, some Ambrians think that they would be better served if the clans did start to attack each other again, weakening them overall, and are looking into ways of provoking an inter-clan war.
• The barbarians of clan Odaiova control the land between Thistle Hold and Karvosti, and profit from the travellers who pass through their land and those who trade between the Ambrians and the clans. There's a rumour that Embersind, the clan chieftain, is looking to be granted an honorary title by Queen Korinthia, one that gives him authority over lesser titles but which doesn't mean he gives up any independence.
• The beacon in Thistle Hold has been the target of attacks by citizens who have been bribed to do so on a number of occasions. There's a rumour that another attempt to burn the beacon down was only just stopped recently, and that this attempt was far more organised than any of the previous ones, suggesting those who wish to see the beacon destroyed are putting more resources into their attempts.
