What triggers things from the nether expansion to happen?

[Ant Queen Penelope]

I've never played tabletop so I'm literally learning as I play the game. Put in a good 42+ hours though. I have every expansion / character. Pretty much get them as they come out. But I have no idea what triggers nether cards to show up. I also don't know what triggers different endings or how a different ending would impact the game. Anyone care to elaborate?

only the three alternate nether land endings enable those cards

To find out what the alternate endings do, start a new game, and activate either "hidden endings" or "revealed endings" in the house rules. This will unlock an "Alternate Endings" button on top of the house rules. Click that button, and you'll see a list of all endings that you have access to. Click on an ending to get more information.

You can toggle endings on (green background) and off (red background) in that list. The game will randomly select one of the endings that are toggled on. Some endings will have grey background, these cannot be selected with the currently active house rule.

Not true, there is one card from the Fireland expansion that allows you to draw cards from the Nether Realm deck.

If you're talking about the Taleweaver, her ability as implemented will return the cards to whichever deck they were drawn from. Which makes it fairly pointless to draw from the Nether Deck without having an actve Nether Ending.

except currently there is a bug with taleweaver-she is being allowed to place cards directly ontop of the wrong decks-nether in the adventure deck, highland in the city-ect.

There seems to be much confusion about the Taleweaver, which is compounded by the fact that it has not been implemented correctly.

"When you gain Taleweaver draw 3 cards from the bottom of any Adventure deck, look at them, and place them facedown on Taleweaver."

As it says, you can pull from any Adventure deck. However, the Nether deck is not an Adventure deck. From the Nether Realms Rules:

"Special abilities and effects that apply to Adventure Cards also apply to Nether Cards, but only after they have been drawn and placed on the board."

The same will apply to the upcoming 3 Dragon decks and the Harbinger deck, as they have the same caveat. This is currently a bug I've previously reported. Nether cards are not eligible for the Taleweaver to pull from.

"At the start of any character's turn you may place 1 card on Taleweaver on top of the Adventure deck."

This part is currently implemented correctly, but it seems confusing. Where cards are placed is based upon the Region that the player that has the Taleweaver is, not where the target character is. An example:

Player A is in the Dungeon, and Player B is in the Highlands.

Player A has the Taleweaver and draws 3 Highlands cards.

At the beginning of Player B's turn, Player A uses the Taleweaver to place the Rock Mauler on top of the Adventure deck. Since Player A is in the Dungeon, the Rock Mauler is placed on the Dungeon deck, as that is considered the Adventure deck for where Player A currently is located. To place the card on top of the Highland deck, Player A would need to be in the Highland Region. Whose turn it is is irrelevant for this interaction.

understand-but ai has been able to use and place nether cards against others using the taleweaver-that was the only point i was making-that there is a way until they fix the bug to encounter nether cards without that ending-albiet it is something that will happen rarely.
