So the GM sets up a bunch of details, some of which either are deliberate hooks or can easily function as such (IE your courier might not have been conceived by the GM as a hook per se, but the players might propose actions which logically advance the story, and the GM can then supply added details). The players may express, in or out of character, some theories and ideas about the world, and the GM may adopt them. In the other direction its pretty easy for GMs to basically say "this is a hook" or to simply make certain things blatantly obvious (IE the Duke's messenger shows up at the inn looking for adventurers, you obviously are expected to raise your hand).</p></blockquote><p></p>
