- I took the Wildemount swamp and turned it into Sedgemoor. They go in there to find missing students who are kidnapped by any of the many residents of the swamp. Some of the bones of "soldier skeletons" in the swamp are Oriqs.
- There is a vast network underground below Strixhaven, in the depths lives a Biblioplex Kraken
- Books begin to go missing from the library, they must hunt down the copies from thieves who live across the various planes. The missing books are in small libraries or large ones that are part of other adventures (Waterdeep) or settings (Ravnica etc.)
- Many gods and devils and wizards and rulers want control of the library for it is the most complete and largest repository of magical knowledge in the multiverse ('knowledge = power'). These vying powers all have servants or hidden contacts throughout the staff and student body, and they all have shifting alliances, sometimes allied, sometimes enemies. The students become involved in a large network of political intrigue to avoid the library from falling into the wrong hands. Political and narrative twist and mysteries abound. Sometimes, they make the wrong call and ally with the 'wrong' party only to hand over power to an even more dangerous party.
- Many of the books are storybooks that magically 'suck in' people who read them. Those people must finish the book's adventure in order to get back out. Very isikai, and basically any adventure from any source at all can be placed in a book in the library this way.
- The plane has many omenpaths to other planes, some of which are traversed by the Concordant Express. Strixhaven may send them on tasks throughout the multiverse by traversing the Omenpaths. In addition, if any character goes home on the Concordant express, they may wind up meeting someone who sends them on a quest or invites them to their plane.
- Students can take semesters abroad at universities across any of the planes, for example, the university at Ravnica. Through an exchange programme, they may get caught up in adventures in those locales.
- And of course, relationship drama unfolds throughout the student body: love triangles, family drama, students being disciplined, all your standard university slice-of-life drama can be a part of everyday life at the uni. For that, you can take basically any high school manga or archie comic story plot and make an adaptation of it to Strixhaven.
