Hello Playground,
We have recently started a campaign that takes place in a rather remote and very rural country, good example would be Tolkien's Rohan. As we continued our campaign our DM would throwing these little easter eggs of npcs mentioning some thing to do with the "Red Star", now this is a star that none of us see and various knowledge checks reveal nothing significant regarding this rather unnerving omen. It should be noted that so far the only people that have seen/mentioned the star are either crazed homeless beggars, a young girl being burnt at the stake, and a centaur druid during a harvest festival. Having made the trip to a city where we encountered the girl who burnt at the stake and the beggars we learned of the "Red Fever" a growing concern in the slums as more and more undesirable are becoming husks doing nothing but rocking themselves and mutter "the red star" over and over. Now we find out that the Lord's son has taken "ill" with a "fever" so it may no longer be restricted to beggars and witches. I was hoping that the Playground could assist me in gathering ideas and interpretations of these events as I would like to have an edge/insight into this situation should the this whole star business go south. Please let me know your thoughts, thanks in advance.
