| Jack Frost runs Amock | 4th Cylus | A rogue phantom, supposed to be a master at possession, has somehow hijacked one of the marrows that were buried in snow earlier in Zi'da. Turning it into some strange abominable snowman, it begins to wreak havok among the streets. The worst of it is it seems to melt and emerge from the snow itself, like a specter. It has left a string of brutal murders across the Outer Perimeter. The Blackguard are understaffed and undermanned, but commission a handsome reward for anyone who can bring this ghost to heel.

| Red Moon Treasure Hunt | 21st Cylus | Rahkrii glows potent red this night, filling the air with an eerie bloody glow. A strange treasure huntress, named Hecate sends out invitations to various people of note in Etzos. She's looking for guardians to watch over her and assistants to aid in her search for a lost artifact, in an island off the coast of Foster's Landing. She's mum on the name or function of the artifact, but hints that it may be used to disable or weaken immortal marks, and remove curses upon contact with it. The treasure hunt is sponsored by the Tower itself.Moderated | |

| Procession of Recognition | 12th Ashan | Procession of Recognition: - Held around the 12th trial of the season of Ashan. This is an award and reward ceremony and parade honoring those who deserve it, for their contributions to the city during the previous arc. Beginning at the Great Pahrn Gate, the procession circles its way through the housing rings of the inner city, eventually reaching the Crescent Arena. The businesses of the alternating rings of the inner city extend gifts to the year's honored recipients as they make their rounds. Speeches, anecdotes, poems and even artistic renditions of the feats accomplished by the recognized are presented on a dais in the arena. Then the usual dancing, drinking and fighting. This year, the procession is in honor of the Delegaation's return to Etzos. Given the delay of the celebration last season due to the trouble with Marrows, they've pitched it forward to the 12th of Ashan. Members associated with the diplomatic efforts are appointed to special places along the parade train, while those along the route expect them to wave. (Self-mod/Collab)Open | |

| A New Wave | 22nd Ashan | A new wave of immigrants arrive from other parts of the world. Particularly from the Southern Continent. Many of the Immigrants happen to be Naerrik, suggesting that they're arriving from their hidden city that is rumored to have been sacked by a dragon. Quacian refugees come in force as well, many of them with strange traditions surrounding the shedding of blood. The city begins to fill with the flood of people again, but there are tensions. The Four-Fold Servant scales back the use of marrows, or at least appears to, as many functions are filled with flesh and blood men and women.Open | |

| The Grand Hunt and Roast: Bug Hunt | 44th Ashan | The Grand Hunt and Roast: - Held in the middle of the season of Ashan. This is just what it sounds like. Several trials are spent with teams of hunters out trying to bag something really special. Everything that is collected is then feasted on in a grand cook-off, held in the Crescent Arena, assuming it is edible. The chefs are hailed and honored as much as the hunters. Tales of the comical or harrowing mishaps and injuries occurring during the hunt are then recounted for the amusement of all present, often by trained orators and storytellers hired for that purpose. This season, spiders and bugs are especially desired as prey and trophies. Cooks have become adept at cooking up bug meat as well as arachnids. Many of the bits of arachnids and bugs are used for stew. Open | |

| A Torrent | 64th Ashan | For several days, the city of Etzos is assaulted by torrential rainfall. Many fear mudslides or the erosion of the very sand-stone bricks that the city is constructed of. Several mages from the city of Quacia who had migrated claim to be working on a solution for that potentiality, along with some exiles from Desnind. Nevertheless, the townships in Lowgarden and thereabouts have experienced flash floods and a rising of the waters.Open | |

| The Green Edifice | 107th Ashan | The torrential rainfalls that occurred earlier the past ten-trials gives way to a sudden outgrowth of plant-life, that crawls invasively up the walls of the city of Etzos, and even over the many buildings. Strangely enough, these vines bear fruits of various kinds, grapes, tomatoes, and eggplant, which afford the city a plentiful supply of food ready to be plucked. The mages from Quacia and the exiles from Desnind when asked, claim ignorance. Their efforts were said to be directed elsewhere.Open | |
