GAIA
All of gaia's encounters makes use of random generators created specifically for Estyre,
Gaia, otherwise known as mother nature.
What is Gaia & How does it Effect Me? ;;
Gaia is what we like to call the mother nature account. She handles anything directly related to Estyre via RP means. She governs things like random encounters, weather, danger/war zones and more. All characters can and will encounter her at some point and it won't always be their decision to do so. The point of gaia is to encourage in-depth roleplay and give a sense of meaning to everything your character is a does. This means members will be more likely to engage in acts such as hunting/foraging, avoiding or entering danger zones, maintaining group relationships and, naturally, watching ones back. Gaia can interrupt roleplays at any time and can either reward your character or put their lives and the lives of those near them in danger. Acting stupid has it's own consequences and Gaia is her to enforce that.
Hunting ;;
Hunting is something that is often left out in most RP's, the actual necessity for it being so low. In Estyre you must hunt and you must eat. There are several ways to go about this, the easiest is simply catching something in the roleplay and eating it. After that you message Gaia and based on what you ate there will be a dice thrown and you will be informed how long the meal will last. You can only hunt creatures listed in the prey of your area to do this, nothing unlisted will count as a sufficient meal.
The second way to go about acquiring food for your character is via hunting. Every so often and on random occasions Gaia will post a new thread with a tasty prey going about it's business. This prey will be larger than anything available otherwise as it is designed to encourage group hunts, anyone who participates has their character fed for the maximum amount of time and often you will find items or rewards after the meal. These things are randomly generated from our current list of Estyre items and each member will have the opportunity to take one item each. If more than one person desires a particular item Gaia will pick the winner out of a hat. Well, more or less.
Foraging ;;

Danger Zones ;;
They're called danger zones for a reason. Creating a new thread in one of these zones during a dangerous period will have Gaia on your tail, depending on the stats listed for that zone Gaia will determine whether something will happen to you. If you are lucky, all will be fine. If not Gaia will generate a random danger based on the reason the area is in danger and you will be forced to face it. On occasion you may receive dangers such as slipping on the ice and falling through. There is no way this can be avoided and you must accept this. Things like broken limbs or damages are irreversible and it's your own fault for heading into the zone in the first place. Of course that does not mean we are completely harsh. You're more than welcome to ask a deity or healer for assistance, chances are they'll help you out.
When entering combat with a Gaia danger such as a predator you will be given a generated description
