user zef on the official discord suggested random encounters when fast traveling to whispers:
just had a thought, Cerim whisper travel should include random events, meeting travelers or camps of enemies. Works really well in KCD2 and made me wonder if wicked would benefit from the same random encounters
basic idea (as i understood) is random NPC events happening when u travel from sacrament to a new region. (…) my idea: like the potion seller showing up at nameless pass, telling you about a rare mushroom he is searching for, and when u find it u get a reward (turn in in sacrament) (…)

Only Cerins can see the whisper though, as implied by Elza, so devs should put some sort of tell on the ground, some sort of lore too so more people will know where to look for whisper points, since that blue light is not there for them.
If they add that our enemies could use the same info making fast traveling more risky and with the possibility of an enemy ambush on the other side.
I like the idea though i dont think every encounter should be about a quest, could be just a traveler like that father and daughter we encounter after crossing the bridge, near the fire, they recognize us as Cerim, and they just give more lore to the world.
