"Epic events"

[MagisterCultuum]

I haven't gotten Gaelen since I changed the tech prereqs for the first two events. This is probably may be because I'm in the habit of grabbing Knowledge of the Ether in Advanced starts. It doesn't seem like any event tied to techs happens if the tech is acquired in advanced starts, which I find annoying.

I've encountered an event, not sure if is the one you are referring to:

It was some commercial conflict between capital and another city, and I was asked to make a choice out of 3:
1. favoring the capital
2. favoring the other city
3. do not interfere

I chose to favor the capital. And a few turns later, I was reported the other city sent someone to set fire in the capital. I think it was my luck that on building in the capital was destroyed. Then I was given some choice again. I chose the one which returned me an adept with Fire I; can't remember the rest options.

Lucky bastard.... I had that event a little while back, lost 5 buildings in my capital.

I lost three myself, and took the result that gave me a Fire Adept (vastly inferior to the Adepts I was already producing) since that was the only result that actually salvaged something. What I really wanted to do was take the merchants who first started the criminal activities and make very public examples of them and their families. {Something along the lines of crucifixion.} As a monarch, I don't ask much, but to resort to further crimes, in this case treason, in response to light punishment for their original crimes ... Well,
