Back of the Book This is a collection of rumours that characters could hear in the Monarchies of Mau setting. They could hear them when asking around in places such as taverns or with various contacts during an adventure. Whether or not a rumour is true, partially true or completely false is up to the Guide. Some of these rumours are about matters that are supposedly secret, which would cast doubts about just how accurate they are. They can be used as potential adventure hooks or simply as background colour.
