I did this thread 2 years ago.
What discoveries have you, the DM, given your hermit backgrounds?
What discoveries have you, the player, gotten as part of your hermit background?
Last time out, I got this:
-The location of a buried Mind Flayer starship from Spelljammer. Millennia old.
-Though they're no longer in the campaign, my group's hermit discovered an ancient dragon deep in the forest... in a world where no dragons older than adult have been seen in decades
- Location of wellspring of Holy water
- Mead of Poetry receipt
- Name and location of ancient wise dragon
- Means to travel 10,000 years into the future
- The place where the root of Yggdrassil emerges at the surface
- That there is a constant power struggle between Moon and Land druid circles
- The when and where the new messiah is born
- That the head of holy order is actually a Bronze Dragon in disguise
- What actually happened in Forgotten Realms during the Dawn Cataclysm
- How to train your dragon
- Theory of solipsism
-That there existed something on the other side of the cellar door after all.
-location of stable portal to sigil
-a magic ritual to permanently seal away magic from a place, item, or even person
-secret alchemical beer recipes that can get anyone; even a God; drunk for all eternity
-A method for unlocking, or closing, the way to the Far Realm performable only from the deepest Ocean depths
-secret, often dangerous, routes through the fey realms and shadow plane that connect wild places through the world
-that one star in the sky is really a crystal sphere containing a whole other inhabited plane
-Mine discovered an heretofore unknown herb which cures blindness and causes hunger.
-That Ramses, the famed golden luchador who took over the Orc monastery where my character was trained, is actually a Dragonborn
-discovered by accident the process for creating dragonsteel
-What happens if you take both the blue and red pill at the same time
-How to extract piumo from the buds of the piumo poppies
