The ocean levels have dropped 15 ft, creating significantly more land masses on the planet. (It was originally 20 feet but a month long downpour of rain replaced 5 feet of it). Obviously this has had an impact on a lot of things. Lizard cities have been ruined, the docks everywhere have no water leading to them, the ocean portals are 15 ft above the ocean making them difficult to impossible to use. Efforts have been started to fix all of these problems, but they are underway.

The volcano on Lojem has become active and many Dwarves have left their cities and mines to move away from it in case it erupts. As of now, it is just rumbling. This has disrupted some of the mining activities so some of the materials that are gotten from this mines are in shorter supply.

Dragons (very large draco-like creatures) have been observed all over the world setting up homes and nests. A few have been seen around the Centralia Wizard's Guild, while a few others have been seen around the volcano and other areas of Lojem.
