Rumors NPC Rumors Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ "I know people talk, but she’s only twelve. They’re children. Let them be children a while longer, before the world makes monsters of them." — Elderly Gardener. ■ "She’s too bold for a girl in her position. Doesn’t flinch when spoken to, doesn’t lower her eyes. No shame on her face! You’d think a bastard would know better." — Stern Governess. ■ "Could’ve been worse, honestly. I’ve heard of noble ladies drowning babes born in scandal. At least the girl lives. Works hard, doesn’t cause trouble. That’s more than can be said of most brats. Better a servant than a corpse." — Apprentice. ■ "She never begs for sweets or plays with us. She's just... calm. Like she's already seen how the world works and decided not to fuss about it. I heard House Fortemps is also raising a bastard-born, but they treat the kid like a young master instead of a servant. Makes you wonder what she’d be like if they’d given her a tutor instead of a mop." — Teenage Servant. ■ "That girl’s got guts, I’ll give her that. The Dragoons? Those crazy bastards. That’s a life for fools who think they can beat death at its own game. You think the Order’s all glory, eh? You think it’s about dragons and becoming a hero? Well, listen here. The Dragoons don’t care about you. They’ll use you up, throw you away, just like they do with every lowborn soul who’s foolish enough to sign up. They’ll grind you down until you’re nothing. But, hey, good on her. She’s made it. But I wonder... Will she still be smiling when they’re forced to leave the corpses of comrades behind?" — Old Drunkard. ■ "Lynette’s favorite way of 'training' is not with a sword or a spear. Nah. She just runs around in the city, jumping off of rooftops and pretending she’s leaping into battle. She calls it 'practical training.' If you ask me, it’s just an excuse to act like a lunatic." — Friendly Adventurer. ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "It was a disgrace. A noblewoman, bearing a child out of wedlock, and keeping it? That child should have been sent away to some quiet convent in the hills, or not born at all. People might have forgotten if the girl had gone away... but now? It’s a stain that will follow Lady Liliane forever. You cannot simply let a bastard live under the same roof and expect no one to notice." — Gossiping Lady-in-Waiting. ■ "I don’t know if Lady Liliane was right or wrong... but at least she didn’t leave that poor child to die. Not everyone does that, you know. If Lady Liliane had done the ‘proper’ thing, she would’ve let that girl go. I’ve seen it all. The babies left at the gates of the Brume, wrapped in rags, barely alive. They say it’s a mercy... but it’s not. The cold there is a killer. That girl’s still breathing, and that’s more than most in the Brume can say." — Grizzled Old Servant. ■ "It’s cruel to say... but sometimes I think it would’ve been kinder to send the poor child to the Brume. Maybe they’d both have been spared the shame. But she kept her here like a scar that can never heal. She’s not raising her, is she? Just keeping her close enough to be a problem, and far enough to pretend she’s not." — Insightful Noblewoman. ■ "Lynette’s a Dragoon, you know! She can kill dragons, like in the stories! I saw her coming back one day, and she was all covered in blood, and she was holding this big helmet, all smashed up! She said she killed one! Bam, bam! That’s gotta be true, right?" — Street Urchin. ■ "So, last week, we were all sitting around the campfire, and Kohka was telling some tall tales about her adventures. Lynette was trying to look all serious, but she kept grinning like a fool. Turns out, she was staring at Kohka's tail. Who knew a Dragoon could get distracted by something so simple?" — Adventurer. ■ "Have you ever seen Lynette try to cook? It's like watching a wyvern attempt to bake a cake. Her idea of ‘cooking’ is tossing whatever she can find in a pot and hoping for the best. Last time it came out so burnt you’d think she was brewing up something to poison a dragon. Let’s be real, in the day she just eats at the barracks with the other Dragoons, and at night her little brother does the cooking. Now the whole camp knows when Lynette’s on stew duty, the rest of us are going to the Forgotten Knight for dinner." — Adventurer. ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ "She doesn’t say it out loud. He doesn’t seem to understand it yet. But you can see it in their eyes. It doesn’t matter what name the world gives them. He’s her brother, and she’s his sister. That’s family. And family survives in the Brume when nothing else does." — Weathered Old Woman. ■ "You don’t get it, do you? Lynette’s not just one of us. She’s gonna be the one who changes things. She’s gonna save us. She’s gonna be one of those knights one day, just like Ser Estinien. Then, she’ll come back to the Brume and fix everything for us. She’ll make it better, you’ll see." — Bright-eyed Child. ■ "With everything falling apart after the Calamity, the Templars were too busy chasing down ‘heretics’ to realize how bad things were. Did they notice that people were freezing to death in the streets? Maybe they should have been more concerned about the real problems instead of a handful of outsiders and a disobedient Dragoon." — Concerned Citizen. ■ "I still can’t believe it, honestly. She was loyal to the Order, loyal to Ishgard. There’s no way she deserved that... No way at all." — Disgruntled Dragoon. ■ "People were talking about those refugees she helped, the ones from the east. They’re trouble, all of them. The Brume was already packed, and now you have these strange-looking people showing up, crowding the streets, asking for food and shelter. I’m not saying it’s their fault—it’s not like they could help the Calamity—but all the chaos in Ishgard right now? It’s got a lot to do with them. The whole damn city’s crumbling. The Calamity’s still fresh, the cold’s brutal, and the refugees keep coming. It’s funny how quickly they turn someone into a hero. Some are calling her a martyr, but let’s not forget what she did. She actively hid ‘heretics,’ tried to help those people who weren’t even from around here. Those refugees weren’t even all that innocent anyway. They say they weren’t really people at all. Some of them were rumored to be half-dragon, or at least have some strange connection to the dragons." — Ishgardian. ■ "Funny, isn’t it? A dragoon who could leap into the air and strike down anything, died from falling from the air. and yet in the end, she never fought. All she had was her word. She never even drew her spear during her trial. Everyone thought she’d die fighting, but she didn’t." — Conflicted Temple Knight. ■ "I’ll tell you this much about Lynette—she was always the one you wanted at your back when things got ugly. We fought side by side in more than a few skirmishes, and I never doubted she’d be there when I needed her. If she saw you struggling, she wouldn’t hesitate to step in and cover your blind spot, even if it meant putting herself at risk. That’s just the kind of person she was." — Drunk Adventurer. PC Rumors Feel free to add your own rumors to this section. ◢ Player Character Rumors - Some of these are more rare than others! ■ "Rumor" — Rumormonger. ■ "Oh, the Young Master, he’s very polite, always smiles just like they taught him. But I can't stop looking at those eyes. One’s like Lady Liliane’s—soft red, like a petal—and the other’s gray-black, like stormwater. Gives me chills, if I’m honest. Sweet child, though." — Young Maid. ■ "I feel bad for the lad, sometimes. They’ve got him marching in line and quoting history before he’s lost all his baby teeth. It’s not his fault he was born with one funny eye. Poor boy barely blinks. I reckon he’s lonely. Seen him looking out windows more than once like he’s waiting for someone. Makes you wonder if he’ll ever really be a boy, or just a title wearing skin." — Stablehand. ■ "The heir’s only six, but he sits straighter and speaks clearer than some grown men at court. I’ve never had to correct him twice. That eye of his—the black one—it unnerves some, but I say it’s a sign. That child sees more than he lets on. He was born to rule." — Etiquette Tutor. ■ "She’s like his anchor. Without her, I think he’d be lost. Ed and Laurent, huh? Yeah, they’re a strange pair, but... there’s something there. Laurent’s got that coldness in him, but when he’s with Ed, he’s different. He seems a little more human, like she pulls him out of whatever dark place he hides in. She doesn’t know it, but I think that girl’s the reason he hasn’t lost his mind yet. Without her, I don’t think Laurent would last long in the Brume. He’s just too different from the rest of us." — Rumormonger. ■ "The noble child lives like a rat now. Heretic or not, it’s a sad sight." — Skepitical Merchant. ■ "See that one over there? Laurent Wilhelmin. Bright kid, clever. I’m no fool—I can tell he’s a thinker. He’s always watching, always calculating. Makes him dangerous in a way. But you know, intelligence ain’t enough to survive around here. In the Brume, you need more than smarts. You need grit. And that boy? He’s never had to learn what it really takes to get by." — Middle-aged Leatherworker.

RP Limits I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but even I have my limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no, and it means don't ask. ■ I will play . ■ Ask about . ■ I won't play . RP Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP.

Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
