* WretchedHive:
** The rulebook instructs the reader to imagine a mixture of "the worst scenes of Dickensian London" and "an appalling level of governmental oppression and religious and supernatural dread." Multiply that by two, and what you've got is almost as bad as Dunwall. It's a racist, classist, run-down city full of organized crime, corruption at every level of government, and a state religion of fanatical {{Knight Templar}}s carrying out witch hunts.
** A smaller one is the Den, an island designated as a neutral ground where various pirates, gangs, and fleets can meet, do business, and acquire supplies.

* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: A non-video game example. Destructive or malicious actions taken by the player characters add to a counter of "[[KarmaMeter Chaos Points]]," which can be spent by the GM to make bad things happen to them later down the line.
* WickedWitch: Since the game offers details for playing during the events of either ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'' or ''VideoGame/Dishonored2'', it includes information about of Delilah's coven, as well as stats for Delilah herself.

** The Festival of Churners in in the Morleyan city of Alba is a day to celebrate both the living and the dead. Celebrants don red robes, shuck off their shoes, and make their way to the water. There, they erect banners for the dead, messages for the messengers. Once at the shore, families cook feasts together and toss parts of it to the waves to feed their lost loved ones.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: This being a setting where the supernatural most definitely exists, it can be hard to tell reality from simple myth. The Devourer may truly be an ancient SeaMonster, or it might just be a legend. The folklore of the Tyvian city of Meya claims that that people who vanish into the wilds become the vicious hounds that prowl the countryside, but those hounds' unusual intelligence could be totally natural. Every ship to sail down the Strait of the Outsider end up sinking, with rumors as to why ranging from a sea monster to a gateway to the Void. It's up to the GM to decide whether or not the various legends of the world have any real grounding in reality.

* StillFightingTheCivilWar: The island of Morley attempted to secede from the empire in 1801, 36 years before the start of the first ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'' game. Many of the natives still resent Gristol and support the idea of an independent Morley, some even going so far as to join criminal gangs or extremist groups like the Ox Tongues.

* HealthPotion: Sokolov's Elixirs return from the video game, and can be used to remove all the drinker's stress - assuming that it's the genuine article, at least. Bootleg or watered-down versions might have no effect, or even increase the drinker's stress.

* GrimUpNorth: The northernmost island in the empire is Tyvia, a largely-uninhabited land of harsh wilderness, snowy tundra, and icy mountains.

* ArtifactOfDoom: Most of the corrupt bonecharms have some negative drawback that makes their use very inconvenient or even painful, but there are two corruptions that fit this trope.

** Splintered Bone causes the bonecharm to twist its wearer's fate as a form of revenge for its poor craftsmanship, causes complications to be more likely.
