Historical Events - Settlement Level

Monthly Events are events that take place on the settlement level. That is the village or town.  Everyone in the settlement is probably aware of the events. Whenever reasonably possible the GM should try to link the events to Kingdom Events and Seasonal Events and/or reorder them to make sense.
  • Roll 1d4 to determine how many events occur each season.
Then for each event:
  1. Roll 1d4 to determine the season
  2. Roll 1d8 on the Event table
  3. Roll1d6 on the Table the corresponds to the result of Event table.
