Hi!
In order to check on the megabeasts in a really large world I created, I used a few adventurers (thus far, I was only able to uncover the legend of one of the about 13 living megabeasts in 1050 of that world, even though at least one more of them has had contact with humans). While I had hints for two megabeasts which had rampaged in human towns in recent history, I figured that there may be one or more megabeasts people already know about...
Well, one of my characters was a dwarf and after talking with some guy at her home, I had her walk the surrounding countryside which was under the control of a human civ which had conquered some elf civ in the distant past. There was no war between the dwarves and the humans, so I went from town to town to gather information.
Well, things turned interesting when I visited one of the human forest retreats. Upon appearing in the mayor's building, I tried to move - and I got hailed by a human elite crossbowman telling me to prepare to die! And yes, that guy meant business.
A dead dwarf later, I decided to use a human from that civ to investigate (the guy simply wouldn't show up in the legends, at least not associated with the dead dwarf). I was mighty relieved that I did not get shot and killed when I arrived at the retreat and that guy actually boasted of his great dead of slaying the dwarf...
I still don't know why that guy considers the dwarves his enemies, but I was intrigued to find that despite the good relationships with the civ as a whole, there can be something like private grievances on a personal or maybe town level (at least that is what I suspect).
Wow, whenever you play the game, you really discover something new.
