RANDOM EVENT [3/5 XP] (CLOSED) Posted on March 1, 2026 at 03:43:23 PM by pippa
To all visitors and residents of the Commons: a solar eclipse is passing over the territory. This rare phenomena will last several hours, but the duration of totality will only last for about 7 minutes. Prior to totality, strange waves of light on the ground known as shadow bands will be visible. During totality, the Commons will be plunged into darkness and the temperature will drop several degrees, which may cause confusion or panic in those unfamiliar with the phenomena. Horses may observe the eclipse directly during this period, but those who gaze too long may risk injury to their eyesight, up to and including blindness, once totality begins to pass.
This threat will pass (and the event will be closed) in a week's time, on 8th of March.
