Event Information

[/b]Encounters can occur when a thread is left open and the character did not Opt Out for such an occurrence. During Encounters, any number of beings might pop up in the thread. A wild animal, such as a War Beast, might come and offer the opportunity to be tamed, a deity might appear and spice things up, a monster might hop in and try to attack, or if you're particularly unlucky, The Black Harrier or Jackal Buzzard will swoop in.

There's also the Disaster Events. Such things are unavoidable as they affect multiple areas at once. Each area has a unique and devastating disaster that might occur.
Xandrial has lethal Snapfreezes.
Aerinon has Mudslides and Earthquakes.
Ja'rik has Hurricanes, Tsunamis, and Typhoons.
Monseth has large and vicious Sandstorms.

A 'siren' will be sounded if a detectable catastrophe is coming, giving the characters an opportunity to run for shelter.

There's also the Festivals of the Gods. Each of the major Deities has a unique festival in their honor, celebrated on their month.
