April 3, 2017	Realm Improvement Umbral Storm prediction	The Khavadi of the realm have come to notice certain tell-tale signs in the penumbra and umbra of the horizon realm that seem to predict when the next umbral storm may move over the realm.

Dec 10, 2000	Limited Population Act	A lottery is held every year. [Read about Family life here.] **For every active PC there are 10 NPCs.
