Random Events

I don't know if you can receive more than 3 random events, but I think Luck is important, just so that you can avoid the Evil Ancient Force event or whatever it's called, which happened to my capital in a game. That event is so evil. Decimating a population from 30k to a mere 1k in one month. My income dropped about 60-70%.

Taking luck is not only to get the good events but also to avoid those bad ones

The arrival of the Ancient Presence is certainly one of the nastiest events; wherever it hits, the pop loss is severe enough to be essentially permanent. I've not seen it for a long time, but then I rarely take Misfortune dominion -- it would not surprise me if it was most likely with a combination of Magic and Misfortune.

I haven't seen it, but I usually play -3 magic, -3 luck, and it would follow that such a thing would happen in high magic/low luck scales. The worst event I've seen, aside from the constant witch's curses I get, is the local vampire lord showing up and sacking my home province with 50+ vampires. I was plagued by the Devourer of Heroes for a couple of turns, but I ended that by guarding my Niefel Jarls with 3 skinshifters apiece. The next round, one of my tougher jarls took the devourer out.

He will be back, won't he? HoH is not like one o these unique rituals which lasts until someone defeats the being who is in the heart of it?

Yes, he'll return. Doom Horrors are forever.

He might have some afflictions, though. Until he heals them, of course.
