[QUOTE="Unwise, post: 6927809, member: 98008"] I'd have a different take on it. An erotic diary said to be written by the queen herself, or her handmaiden, that gives very graphic details of her affair with the pope of the main local religion. He is into some really weird stuff. It includes a lot of mentions to other verifiable details. One of these is a hidden 'love dungeon' behind a chapel in the main cathedral, where they kept their secret stash of loot if ever they had to run away. This is verifiable thing that PCs will see as actionable intelligence. A book by a famous explorer to the Astral Sea who found no evidence that gods X and Y even exist. He could not find their realms at all and the angels had never heard of them. This has some good actionable intel on where cross-over points to other realms are. The churches will kill to stop this publication spreading. A book detailing how to mix certain common compounds together to make explosive powder. The main ingredients are from manure and other agrarian things. The social implications of this are terrifying, it would put powerful weapons in the hands of the common folk and disrupt the international balance of power. The churches don't care so much, but the secret police of nearly every nation will hunt whoever has this book. Explosives are known, but the fact that making them is so simple is the forbidden knowledge. [/QUOTE]
