Heres an idea for a series of witch-related events. Theyre meant to be separate fairly common events, but most of them can trigger the witch captured secondary event. The goal would be to set the witch captured so it has a 100% chance of happening on the next turn if triggered by another event, but only a rare chance of occurring otherwise.
In a perfect world, theres probably a cool way to have a behind the scenes event that flips a witch active trigger in the background, which adds a duplicate set of events, which have greater probability of coming up and greater probability of the witch outcomes occurring. This would create witch-heavy phases for a while until the witch is caught and dealt with. But thatd be a lot of work that most players wouldnt even notice, so I dont know that itd be worth it.
One of your advisors has been acting strangely recently.
A witch! A witch! Burn her!
(Cow resource connected to a city) Milk has been souring near (city). Peasants are unhappy (and thirsty).
Ignore it.
(Corn, Wheat, Fruit, Wine, or Rice resource connected to a city) (plant resource) crops have been withering near (city), despite the good weather.
Ignore it.
(Cow, Pig, Sheep, Horse, Deer resource connected to a city) (animal resource) herds have been dying near (city), and no one knows why.
Ignore it.
(Fish, Clam, Whale, Crabs resource connected to a city) The oceans have been refusing their bounty to us. Our fishermen are unable to catch (sea resource).
Ignore it.
(entering ruins) Scouts exploring ancient ruins find an attractive young woman living there.
She must be strong to survive out here on her own. Recruit her for my military!
You havent been sleeping well. Each night, you are haunted by visions of death.
Try to ignore the visions.
This isnt working. I need advice. (+X% corruption in capital, event recurs)
Stop sleeping. Thatll make everything better.
Members of your council complain of odd illnesses and tragedies. Just last week, one stubbed his toe really bad. Some say they are cursed.
Cursed? What silly superstition.
People in (city) are infertile. No babies have been born recently.
Could be mystical. Investigate.
(Elder Council at capital) An old woman shows up at your palace and asks to join the Elder Council.
A witch! A witch! Burn her!
(during war, triggered when you lose a city) An old woman appears in the capital and offers her services to aid in our war. She must be a powerful witch.
Sure! We could use the help! Get her to the front!
WITCH CAPTURED CLOSING EVENT:
A witch has been captured.
(not evil) Are you sure? She looks pretty normal to me. Set her free.
(chance to occur if witch captured event goes badly, or possibly on its own rarely)
A witch has appeared in the capital, blasting citizens with bolts of eldritch might. I think shes mad at you.
Ignore her. Im sure shell go away.
This isnt part of the witch series, and its a little more powerful than requested so it would likely be rarer, but I threw it in anyways:
(when you subdue an animal) As your (unit) subdues the (animal), it speaks! It promises to grant your (unit) a wish if you set it free!
Demon spawn! Kill it! Then kill the pieces to be sure!

Whooo
Really impressive set of event
I just wish you would make more rewards for Perpentach (or Keelyn), such as:

Hope it gets implemented
Well done

I like this event. It has a down side, but can be turned into a positive witht he floodplains. All tiles adjacent might be overpowered. Perhaps one or two tiles that are either plains or desert.
Thias nice too.

I didn't go through this entire thread so hopefully something like this hasn't been suggested.

I really like this one, but I think a few options should be changed/added. There should be an option that denies them entry at all (for a larger diplo penalty). Also, -2 relations is much too high of a price for a mere 50 gold. It should be made -1, and/or the amount of gold should be higher. It might also be nice if there were more options with different prices, such as: demanding different amounts of gold for the monks to enter, with different diplo penalties; letting the monk instead join the city nearest the unique feature as a great prophet; increasing the gold/trade from the unique feature; follow the monks and see if you can uncover the secrets of [unique feature] (chance of getting a free tech/research points, a piece of equipment, free promotion, etc.); maybe some options should differ based on what the feature is (it does seem like a pilgrimage to the pool of tears would be rather different than one to the Broken Sepulcher, doesn't it?)
Also, I think that third option you listed should really be AV state religion only.

The Sheaim should be allowed to as well, even if they don't have the veil.
Well, not sure how does ebony suite for a bow in real life, I am not a carpenter, lumberjack or bow-maker ;-)
Anyway most fantasy realms have ebony bows as good quality ranged weapons (Oblivion, Guild Wars...) so I thought it could be possible...

Don't they mine ebony in the Elder Scrolls universe? Plus this is a world in which glass weapons and armor are the most powerful (and expensive) equipment in Tamriel. I'm willing to bet there are a few subtle differences.

@El_Duderino: You can make a summon unit not be temporary, just as you can make any other unit BE temporary (look at the Brotherhood of Warrens for an example of that). So if a longterm presence is what you want, you can tune it for how long you desire.

Controlled burn
Residents in the vicinity of one of our forests think they can attract more game to the region using a controlled burn. Dissenters argue that the fire could easily get out of control, disrupting work in the area. What shall we do?
A) What? Burn down the forest to attract game? I've never heard of such a preposterous exercise! Put them to better use, if they have so much time on their hands!
Gain 1 worker

20% chance no effect.
