Story Magnitudes

With the Great Tower in place as the backdrop for the saga, it is useful to look at the magnitude of stories and decide how frequently stories of a given scale are likely to occur.

Minor events are those notable occurrences that draw magi from their studies, or push companions and grogs beyond their day-to-day duties. They may represent stand-alone episodes in the life of the magus or his covenant, or they may be chapters in a much larger story. In any case, these kinds of stories are likely to occur maybe once a year throughout the life of the tower.
