Be the change you want to see in the world, write the sidestory yourself! Or apocrypha. Everything in the Chaos Wastes is semi-apocryphal anyway.
Weird Shit Encountered While Traveling The Wastes
(Volume 1 of Too Many)
The childhood home of one of the Knights who was scouting ahead. It bit him and tried to eat him. They resolved to stay closer to the steamwagons after that, and the cannons for dealing with man-eating houses.
Mathilde saw one cloud chase down and eat another, with clearly visible mouth. She was already spending most of her time belowdecks to avoid Morrslieb and the suspicious rain around here, but now the rain was even more suspicious.
Instead of rain, the topdecks scout saw the predatory cloud emitting what appeared to be an entire flying Cathayan warband, which split into two groups that proceeded to slaughter each other mid-air, disappearing on death.
A nearby depression spontaneously filled with water fast enough to see. A four-foot-wide eye on a ten-foot stalk rose out of the lake, glared at the Expedition, and withdrew back before the water dried up again, leaving only stone.
A carriage wheel thirty feet tall, its spokes looking to be living trees with greenery on the branches, but its hub and rim made of smooth dead wood, rolled by.
Sail after canvas sail billowing and floating up out of a crack in the ground, then blowing away in the wind. Lying next to the crack were a series of wooden poles well suited to be masts.
Five stone statues of unknown, naked humans, cracked and defaced and vandalized of all their sexual characteristics, observed standing in a circle like some long-forgotten artist's abandoned project.
Signposted shelves of wigs and false beards and other normal prostheses at first, giving way to the increasingly unusual: wooden legs, hook hands, false breasts, false heads, and full-body mannequins advertised as "Substitute friends".
Several hundred boxes of black metal, ranging in size from head-sized to carriage-sized, piled into two piles, the higher one surmounted with a flag bearing text in a foreign language.
A swarm of several hundred flying fish skeletons, each one with a small colorful insect in the skull, visible through the eye sockets and many of them buzzing loudly at each other.
