The eleven great calamities the game can bring down on Corenveld. The headline under each name is the game's own.
In version 0.1.1 every life plays the same world, so only two of these ever happen: a Quarter Riot in the Old Quarter when you are 29 years old, and the Long Dry Summer when you are 37. The other nine are listed because the game contains them.
