They can be whimsical, like entire populations of animals switching size or places in the food chain-jokes are still made about the blight of horse-sized ducks many Flux's ago. They can also be rather severe, like gates to hell or elemental planes suddenly popping up across the landscape, or vile necromancers appearing from seemingly nowhere with an entire army of undead.

- Xan's Sun, a single comparatively hot day of Winter, during which criminals can plead for forgiveness for a lessened sentence and other ongoing disputes are traditionally atoned for and those who have wronged others can safely ask for forgiveness.
- Xan's Winds, a single day of Autumn, during which bonds with animal companions are solidified and animals seem easier to rightly 'tame'.
