15 possible events for the start of my new D&D campaign (aka creating a new D&D world, part 25)

Not too too long ago, I purchased The Ultimate RPG Game Master's Worldbuilding Guide: Prompts and Activities to Create and Customize Your Own Game World by James D'Amato and it, and going whale watching, inspired me to create a new D&D world. So here we go! I'm going to use prompts from the book to begin crafting this world, but not all posts will be from there. 

You can read part 1 of my planning here, read part 2 of my planning here, read part 3 of my planning here, read part 4 of my planning here, read part 5 of my planning here, read part 6 of my planning here, read part 7 of my planning here, read part 8 of my planning here, read part 9 of my planning here, read part 10 of my planning here, read part 11 of my planning here, read part 12 of my planning here, read part 13 of my planning here, read part 14 of my planning here, read part 15 of my planning here, read part 16 of my planning here, read part 17 of my planning here, read part 18 of my planning here, read part 19 of my planning here, read part 20 of my planning here, read part 21 of my planning here, read part 22 of my planning here, read part 23 of my planning here, and read part 24 of my planning here.

  1. Party is together at a tavern listening to a storytelling competition
  2. Can talk to a mysterious figure with a mysterious box (will trade it for tracking a mysterious amphibious creature)--this is the collector
  3. Can investigate a scuffle outside (break up a bar fight and then a university party)
  4. Can approach the nervous looking bartender (has a quest about a series of robberies)
  5. Can speak to the man who looks damp and is deep in his drink (he has a quest about recovering items from a shipwreck)
  6. Can get into a drinking contest
  7. No matter which path they take, they will end up at the shore and see a kid in a boat without an oar that they will have to rescue
  8. After rescuing the child, they will have to roll a perception check to see if they catch a glimpse of the fae--if they do, their memory is partially wiped
  9. Either way, the child will find out that their parents moved away, so as they prepare to reunite with them, the party can speak with them
  10. The child has not aged enough for having been gone so long but does not remember much about their time away, but does have a story of going through an underwater portal
  11. The party can investigate this story by asking storytellers and will then dicover it has similarities to ancient stories of the fae realm but that people at the university may know more
  12. The party can investigate this story by going to the university and will then dicover that travelers' accounts of trying to find the fae realm are believed to have failed because they didn't have a fae with them but that the collector may know more
  13. The party can investigate this story by talking to the collector and he will imply that he has fae creatures in his collection which he will allow them to see if they track down an aquatic creature for him
  14. The party will then get the aquatic creature and bring it to the collector
  15. The collector will then reveal that the fae "creature" he has in his collection is humanoid (perhaps this will lead to a jail break plan?)

(Prompt by me)

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
