Kahvin's Event Speculation/Hopes/Ideas

Not suggestions. Just theories, WD theories.

These were supposed to be just small and short brainstormings but.... whoops. 

I tried to avoid events that are tied to seasonal happening in our world, such as having event only about winter struggles as it wouldn't make sense since we have in-game seasons. And it would only be winter for 6-7 days of the event. I also didn't want anything too much based on real-world holidays too. WD is widely international game, and it wouldn't make sense to have eg. "Thanksgiving event" as a large number of players don't celebrate it. 

Some events are similar to LD too, and most events could just happen in any month too. If you want to, add your own ideas to mine!

----------------

January - Northern Lights (Explore based, No story) Event about mythical foxes who, with a flick of their tail, can create northern lights. During the night time in explore (and maybe hunting map), if there are clear skies, you can visibly see those lights on the sky. And come across the fox creating them as well. There wouldn't be a story to follow, but explore encounters and event NPC's would expand the lore. Event NPCs: Snow, albino fox (General Shop) & Silver, melanistic wolf ("Food shop" owner) Decorations: Northern lights/Pretty night sky BGs, magical effects decoration, fox buddies Other features: Food for Foxes, creating northern lights is hard work and the foxes would appreciate some donations. Donations give you special event tokens, you gain other tokens from exploring. The token amount would be calculated based on food uses.

February - Something in the air (Community based, No story)
A little like LD's Aphrodisia event, but things might need to be changed around a bit as we can now have female leads too. But basics would be the same, you can see lovey-dovey explore encounters and this would be more community-based event too. Maybe instead of flirting and slapping, we could have howling and.. growling? Once in ___ minutes, you can go to a den and howl. If someone howls you, you can howl back or growl maybe.
Event NPCs: Silky, a moth (General shop + Crafting), Valentina, a wolf (NBW claiming)
Decoration: Silks and fabrics draped around wolves, jewellery too perhaps, "romantic scene" BGs
Other Features: Special craftings, A chance to claim one special NBW once a day. "Easy" way to get some breeding items.

March - From hunters to hunted (Explore based, No Story/Short Story)
A little bit like the anti-poaching event on LD, but more focused on the struggle of humans and wolves living too close to each other. Wolves kill farm animals, and humans hunt and kill wolves to prevent that. But would aim a more neutral approach, farmers have a right to be upset, but wolves need food too. We could have a short story that would give some lore to the world, unlocked little by doing quests.
Event NPCs: Midnight, scarred old wolf (Quest giver), Lily, Midnight's mate? (General shop)
Decoration: Scar decoration, bandages, broken human weapons, other "trophies" from humans, farm animal skulls
Other Features: Counter how many farm animals are killed? Idk lmao.

April - Too loud! (Explore based, No story)
Since March might be little... gruesome and harsh event, like the anti-poaching is in LD is. We might need something silly to recover from it (and some people might prefer sillier things too). And in this event, instead of the annual rabbit hunt in LD - you simply hunt birds who are just being too annoying and loud. 
Event NPCs: North, any falcon or predatory bird (quest giver), Hoot, owl (General shop)
Decoration: A lot of different bird buddies, feather decoration, some dead bird decoration for your edgy needs too
Other Features: Counter how many birds are killed, it would unlock new items at the event shop.

May - What about Tala? (Explore based, Small story)
Event about Tala, her life and origins. During the month you can come across to her in explore, she gives you hints about her life. Some other special stuff too?
Event NPCs: Tala (quest giver and general shop)
Decoration: Tala as your buddy, 
Other Features: Tala's training, Tala can boost your stats a little once a day. On the last day of the month, you could claim "Tala's relative" - NBW with some special markings.

June - Disasterous! (Explore based, No story)
Kind of like the wildfires event in LD, but maybe expanded to other natural disasters as well. These wouldn't bear any real danger to your wolves, but just spice up your exploring experience.
Event NPCs: Spot, lynx (General shop), Titan, moose (Emergency donations shop)
Decoration: Natural disaster bgs, smaller animals covering next to your wolf, pup covering under the wolf
Other Features: Emergency Supplies, you can donate things for other players to grab. You get special tokens for donating?

(Due to post limit issues, continues below)

July - Blight of the Sun and Moon (Explore based, Long story)
WD's "Falling Stars" event, basically, with a heavy focus on the lore and story. But instead of focusing on the family drama of celestial wolves, we get to side either with the wolf who wants to devour the sun - or the one who wants to devour the moon, (and perhaps a random third one) as the end of the world approaches, possibly. Maybe has several endings for the story. 
Event NPCs: Sköll, wolf (Quest giver, general shop), Hati, wolf (Quest giver, general shop), ???, wolf (quest giver general shop) 
Decoration: Lunar and solar eclipse bgs, event npc decoration, some fancy warrior/armor decoration
Other Features: Idk really.

August - Omens (Explore based, Short story)
Could be hinting about another event or just general "bad times". You see weird things in exploring and have odd dreams. And so, you first ask help from our favourite bear, who then suggests you seek help for your visions from one of the "Wise ones". 
Event NPCs: NPCs below give you their own quests and decoration
- Lina, old grandma wolf, can read your future from your paw. Tala's grandma???
- Winter, young arctic fox, a student of now-retired master of dreams. (Master is hinted to be a multi-tailed fox?)
- ???, A blind deer with majestic horns, an old friend of Herbert, can talk to the dead.
Decoration: Spirits of all kinds of animals decoration, event npcs as decoration
Other Features: Idk.

September - Help Wanted (Explore based, Short story)
In the story, your lead/pack is approached by a surprising guest. A dog, a dog that doesn't smell like a human though. They reveal themselves to be a leader of their own pack, a pack of street dogs in the nearest human town. And they have come to ask your aid, as humans have started to mercilessly hunt down their pack. In the story, you first follow the lead dog (Bella) who wants to keep attacking humans harder and more - or side with another dog (Milo) who believes that not all humans are bad. Some of them give homes and foods for stray dogs.
Event NPCs: Bella, pack leader dog (Quest giver), Milo, Bella's son (Quest giver), Whiskers, stray cat (General shop)
Decoration: Different kinds of dog breeds as decoration, collars, dog toys
Other Features: New dog-like markings limited to this event

October - From the Deep (Explore based, Medium story)
Earthquakes are getting worse, the land it splitting up and horrors are rising up from the depths of the Earth. Wolves need to team up to defeat them before the situation gets too out of the hand. You have three NPCs to side on and do quests for them. The story is little different with all wolves and they all have their own endings too. Each also gives their own decoration.
Event NPCs: NPCs below give you their own quest and decoration
- "Hunter", old wolf who forgot his original name. Old hunter who knows what is going on and wants to eradicate the land of those beasts before it's too late. Sees them as evil.
- Swift, younger hunter and Hunter's relative. Believes that not all of those beasts are bad.
- Claw, old friend of "Hunter". Became one of those beasts himself and just wants to wreak chaos.
Decoration: Beasts as decoration and some horror-themed too, but kind of general that fits to WD 
Other Features: Fight against beasts, or save animals from beast without attacking/killing.

November - Just for Show (Explore based, No story)
Early on in the month, you might run into weird and new encounters in explore. You see new and odd animals that shouldn't be here. Weird sounds are heard from beyond the trees, close to human settlements. Turns out, the circus is in the town and you have come across some run-away animals. You can also help animals to escape. The event could also partially be about how circus animals might not always be taken care of well. 
Event NPCs: King, lion in a cage (Quest giver), 
Decoration: Some fitting circus-themed decoration, animals and "clothing"? 
Other Features: Travel to special exploring area once a day that is limited somehow.

December - Season of Appreciation (Community based, No story)
Pretty much the same as in LD, where you can leave gifts or poops to other people's dens. Just a different name. You would also run into albino wolves and animals on explore, and maybe there could be new interactions available between users too. Something to encourage people to actually give useful gifts other than just rock and leaves. 
Event NPCs: Honey, kermode bear (General Shop), ??? (The poop tokens shop)  
Decoration: Albino animals, "leaf gift bundle"
Other Features: Gifting / Pooping system

------------

These aren't fully fleshed out ideas yet, but I just lost my juice after writing these for about 3 hours lmao.

These are nice, but I'd definitely prefer if wolvden's events weren't a direct mirror to lioden's. I'd definitely be disappointed if the july event was story driven, and involving celestial entities again.

Maybe the big events on this site could be in september and november, since those months are so drab on lioden. Maybe September could be something about a plague (heavily tied into the herbalist aspect of the site and maybe introducing a ton of unique herbs) and november could be focused on a pack of wolves trying to expand their territory through violent means, and they could mess around with your explore map. I just want to see how this game's mechanics can play into events.

also I'd love a big goofy romeo and juliet type thing for febuary.

hoping against the odds that for the love of all that is good the February event will be less weird on this site. honestly a good part of why i left lioden was because of the graphic animal art (and weird sexist undertones???) during that month, like..... so unnecessary

I only pray they add events in December! Or at least special bases... because me wants a special wolfie!

Just a thought but since wolves are so tied in with native american lore and history then why not tie that in to some events? Maybe like an explore type or hunting type thing with native americans since wolves use to be captured and domesticated by native americans.
