A few notes on the physics of the Great Plane:

Unless you are trying to reach somewhere specific, each province goes on infinitely. Heading in a general direction will eventually lead you to some place of importance (aka a place where you can adventure). When going to a location on a Guild mission, all that is needed is a day and a general direction, same goes for reaching borders. Going anywhere else requires a Forever Map and an Infinite Compass.

Large things generate their own gravity based on location, composition, and importance

Despite the strange traveling requirements of the surface, the Underdark (yes, that exists here) is finite and can be traversed logically

Inanimate objects moving at near impossible speeds due to rule exploits will become immaterial and exist in a place outside existence and non existence

Legrnds and Myths:

The Kron'I'Ack: A tale told by parents to scare children, the Kron'I'Ack is the creature under your bed, in your closet, outside your window. It is said that should a child be targeted by the Kron'I'Ack (reason vary, commonly said to prey on naughty children), they have a certain amount of time (again varied by teller, commonly a number of days equal to years of age) to either repent in the eyes of the Kron'I'Ack or transfer the creatures rage onto another.

The Killer of Normended: It is said that many years ago, a man once lived in the western city of Normended. He worked as a smith, tirelessly working on weapons and armor for the city guard. However, one day his mind snapped. He started kidnapping women and children and torturing them to death, leaving their bodies in front of the homes of their families. It took the guardsmen three years before they caught him and hung him. It is said, however, that he lives on and that, if one is in the right place at he right time, they will see him, carrying a large twitching burlap sack.
