- Explorers return with news of a new land. The new land is completely uninhabited.
- The land falls into civil war, lasting 2 months.
- A major influx of refugees arrive from a neighbouring country. If there is currently a plague, famine, or similar trouble, they cause further stress upon the land, but are not directly blamed for the unrelated troubles.
- Plague strikes the land, lasting 10 months. The population of the area is reduced by 5% each month. While the plague lasts, the cost of imported goods will be 5 times normal, and the price of all other goods will be doubled, as traders refuse to enter the area.
- For this month, many important people will neglect their duties in order to compete for the affections of a noted, unmarried person. If duelling exists in the country, duels will indeed be fought. This will lead to the death of an important person in a duel. There is a clear successor and no power struggle anticipated.
