In a recent session, the PCs were traveling with an air genasi named Quiet Riot on Carceri, trying to escape the plane. As they climbed the mountains of Colothys, I dropped a little foreshadowing by describing a tattoo on Quiet Riot's back - the symbol of the Revolutionary League, a faction of anarchists that will come into play later in the game. The characters, all people from the Prime Material and with little to no knowledge of the planes or Sigil or its factions, are unlikely to know what that symbol is. (The players are also not familiar with the Planescape setting.)That didn't stop Robert Bob Roberts, the hillbilly wizard, from trying to recall what that symbol was all about, drawing upon his Old Knowledge, a racial feature that gives him insight into ancient kingdoms and historical events. I figured that was sufficient to have a shot at knowing what this tattoo meant and asked for a roll. He aced it. I told him that there were obscure tales of shadowy groups affiliated with this symbol having brought down organizations and kingdoms in the distant past in violent revolutions. So they knew that maybe Quiet Riot might be a little shady and, when they encounter this symbol later in the game and put two and two together, it should have a decent impact.</blockquote>
