11 Overview
22  
33 Calamities are large-scale elemental disasters that occur dynamically throughout Everland. They are remnants of the four divine forces (wind, thunder, water, and flame) that turned destructive during The War Between Heaven and Man. Calamities function as both survival hazards and tactical opportunities for players.

1010 While calamities are dangerous, experienced players can turn them to their advantage. A lightning barrage can be used to damage a group of enemies if the player positions correctly. Wind calamities can disperse poison clouds or carry fire toward enemy encampments. Tidal surges can flood tunnels to drown subterranean creatures.

1313 The game encourages creative responses to calamities rather than simply avoiding them. Promotional materials show players building siege towers during windstorms to launch aerial attacks, and deliberately igniting brush during firestorms to clear enemy territory.

1515 Impact on the World
1616  
1717 Calamities can permanently alter the environment. A tidal surge may leave behind new waterways, and a firestorm can burn away dense forest to expose hidden ruins. This ties into the game's Physics System, where terrain and object states change in real time. Players who build in calamity-prone zones must account for potential destruction when designing their bases.

2323 Calamities are semi-random but influenced by the game's Seasons and Weather system. Certain biomes and seasons make specific calamity types more likely. Players can learn to read environmental cues, like darkening skies or rising water levels, to anticipate incoming events.

2525 The Four Divine Forces, In Their Own Words
2626  
2727 The game's official description gives the calamity framing one direct line: "Wind, thunder, water, and flame, forces once wielded by the deities, have become calamities, scouring the land." The four divine forces named here are the same four forces that protected pre-war Everland before The War Between Heaven and Man inverted them.
