[WP] Fear not the necromancer; His is the tireless arm that defends our land. There is no greater service one can offer the realm than use of that which you no longer need - your body after death. The duty of the living is to live. The duty of the dead is to serve as tireless protectors.

[WP] Ogres are terrified of deep water because none of them can swim. One day someone calls out an ogre for being afraid of water, a huge hit to the ego. Things escalate into a species-wide pissing contest as every ogre tries to become a sailor/ pirate/ explorer and go to famously uncharted waters.

[WP] Dreams are nonsense. They are nothing more than chaotic recycling of memories as your synapses randomly fire. There are no messages to be heard, no insights to be found, no monsters to be faught. Dreams have no meaning. At least, that's what everybody else thinks. You know better.

[WP] There is an abandoned castle. The castle is not located near any strategic position and the borders have changed since it was built. It also seems to have been built around a well that has since dried up. What's interesting though, is that all the castle defenses are built facing inwards.

[WP] The sun has been killed, fire and light are draining from the world. The cold powers of the Earth, ever inimical to man, now hold dominion.
