Generate the local rule no outsider knows, its origin, and the cost of breaking it.
Generate the local law no outsider knows: the rule itself, where it came from, and what breaking it costs. Six fields cover The Rule (never whistle past the boundary marker, the third stool at the inn stays empty), How Outsiders Learn It, Where It Came From, The Cost of Breaking It, Who Enforces It, and The Exception. Each result pairs a concrete custom with an origin and a consequence, so the rule can drive scenes rather than sit as set dressing. Use it to give a town a secret, set up a player misstep with real stakes, or build folk-horror tension into a fantasy setting.
