During the period of 800-1000 AS, a few particularly notable events, significant enough to make a lasting mark in oral and written histories alike, affected the world of CivSim, as follows:

Global:

A great plague, more devastating than any seen before, arose in Malaicoh in the year 886 AS. However, this highly contagious plague can be expected to spread far beyond Malaicoh's borders by trade, diplomacy, and potentially even war.

Local:

Severe floods caused significant damage and great loss of life in the Ice Confederation.

The Trolls were faced with an internal rebellion over whatever discontented the people behind it.

Oordhuland was afflicted by a severe drought, crippling its agriculture.

Important: If your nation was the origin point of the global event, or was affected by a local event, you must either respond to this post with RP or submit a new post detailing the effects of the event on your nation within two weeks following the submission of this post. If you fail to do so, the event will have detrimental effects on your nation as determined by the big bad mods.

On the other hand, responses to a global event on behalf of civs other than Malaicoh are not required, but will lead to spreadsheet stat benefits for those civs whose players do write up a post within two weeks.

Also note that spreadsheet stat changes stemming from these events aren't strictly required. Their full effects on the nation in question are up to interpretation.
