Festival Of Life (world event idea)

Here's one for you DM's that wants a celebration event.

The world (or at least the portion the players live in) is celebrating the 'festival of life'. Apparently over five thousand years ago a great necromancer tried to take over 'the world' with an undead army. That army was stopped by a group of clerics who followed the path of life & about 200 years after this event it was declared a holiday & has grown in popularity since. Now it has become a continual festal of merriment & an usually high crime rate (usually noise complaints or drunk people being dumb) .

Please note any attempt to purposefully disrupt the festival is seen as a crime & can cause up to 200 silver in fine. Only Time one con purposefully break this law is in situations in which something worse would happen if they didn't disrupt it (ie trying to get medical attention for someone having a heart attack, & or invading hordes of barbarians).

Animals: Gone Wild (world event idea)

Here's one for you Dm's who want mother nature, to have some retribution against the people of the world.

The world has been going down a less nature friendly path these past few decades & mother nature isn't to happy about it. So now all around the world, animals are getting surges of hate against the civilized nations in the world. This has gotten to a point in some areas, where bands of animals were work together to siege small towns. There are also rumors that new breeds of animals are coming into existence, breeds that are great at targeting people of civilized nations.

Wonder Razed (World event idea)

Here's one for you DM's that want an event that will demoralize basically everyone.

The world is filled with wonders, both natural & those made by us. Today one of those great wonders was pillaged, desecrated, destroyed & then set on fire. It's beauty now only rest in the minds of those who saw it & now only the ashes remain. This has sent both outrage & despair into the hearts of many, but one thing is for curtain, they will have their revenge on whoever did this. But until then, public unrest, riots, & a general bad mood are to be expected.

Shadow's Day (world event idea)

Here's one for you DM's that want just an odd fantasy holiday.

One day, every year a common holiday takes place around the local region. This celebration is know as shadow's day, & it's in celebration of the shadow that every person has. The rituals during this holiday usually include wearing dark clothing & being in places of darkness during the day & places of light during the night. This holiday isn't one that business owners would call off work for, but they usually adjust the lights in the building to match it correctly to what the celebrators want.

This holiday was start a long time ago, when a mage who wielded a form of dark magic, defeated three dragons who beset the local capital. In the fight against the dragons, the mage use an odd spell that allowed them to control the shadows of everyone around them & used it the behead & kill 2 of the 3 dragons. About 3 years after the mages death, this holiday was held in celebration of the mage's fight against the dragon.

Prince Turpitude’s Coup (World event idea)

Here’s one for you DM’s that want some evil royalty to be introduced into your campaign.

The world is ruled by kingdoms (mostly), & out of all those kingdoms, one has a prince that can’t wait to get on the throne. This prince had evil ambitions that needed to be accomplished soon & he needs the throne to do it. So he does what any logical evil prince would do at this point, ie over thrower & kill anyone who opposes him. 

During a good two week period this coup will be under place & if not stopped by the party (or by bad rolls on the princes part), he will rule the throne & attempt to proceed with his evil ambitions. The ambitions will inevitably lead to conflict with the neighbors which will also lead to a whole hodgepodge of issues on it’s own.

Magitus Session (world event idea)

Here's one for you Dm's that want a magic flu season.

Every year, around the last few months of the year, a plague spreads through the land. This plague is a dieses called magitus. Magitus causes a person to have cramps, colds, & if they know magic, the protentional for magical discharge. It should be noted that magitus has a rare chance of killing its host (usually due to the host having a weak immune system). The areas usually effected by magitus are at higher altitudes, usually affect cities that are found on hills!

If a sorcerer who has the wild magic gets magitus, there chances of a magical surge increases to about x3s as much (ie  going from a nat 1 to a 1 - 3 being rolled)

Soul Migration (world event idea)

Here's one for you DM's that want a supernatural world event.

The soul migration, when lost souls who have finally fulfilled their purposes make their way to the great beyond. The soul migration happens on one specific date each year, & is observed by many religion/cultures. On this day most countries make it illegal to get into any fight with ghost/spirits & or sometime skeletons or zombies.

No one knows how the soul migration first started, but they all know that it does happen & that it's a major event in maintaining stability in the world. Any country/person who tries to stop the soul migration for gain will usually be deemed a threat to the civilized & are thus wanted fugitive.
