Option 2: Start in one of the six major cities in the Midlands [Updated 20250425]

Step 1: Determine which major city the party starts in.

Step 2: Read more about the background of the city and its residents.

Step 3: Create three adventure hooks. Examples: 

1. Recent: Roll on the "City, Town, Village" random encounter table (ToA, p. 141). 
2. On the spot: Roll on the "Chance Encounters" table for the city (M, pp. 46-74).
3. Upcoming: Create a new dungeon using the Dungeon Generator (ToA, p. 218).
   OR
   Roll on the Rumour Table ("Cities") (M, p. 147) 

Use the Oracle tools (Deck of Signs, Bones dice) for more sparks.
