I'm very mildly tinkering with a ...I guess you would call it a closed setting? It's pretty generic honestly. A single decently fleshed out city, with both a rich history and notable characters with their own motivations dotted through it. The core conceit would be that it's The City, the one where you go to make it big, where anyone important is, anything can happen, etc. I wanted someplace I could introduce a character from basically anywhere, pretty much.
Anyway, one culture hero is Dently Haars. Once a homeless wretch, he found a mostly quiet bit of the city and (unable to afford either an inn or a home) decided to dig a hole to sleep in. Not the brightest of ideas, but it lead to his luck turning. Every day he would dig just a little deeper; a makeshift roof, walls, and three days into digging Dently broke through into what was a house several centuries ago. A house with [ancient magic/tech/whatever equivalent] still in it. Shortly after that he made a fortune selling and/or recreating what he found, leading to the rise of a wave of miner-adventurers, and the creation of the odd phrase that amounts to "when it doubt, dig yourself a hole and pray".

wait, the rapper?I figure we'd still be making a big deal about Drake 50 years from now in the fantasy/cyberpunk/semi-post-apoc nightmare future, Canadians tend to do that. Like maybe he has a cult centred around his music or something.
