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

The volcano on Lojem bacame active and many Dwarves left their cities and mines to move away from it, in case it erupts. This had disrupted some of the mining activities and some resources were 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.
