Never met such one. Maybe it is nations specific?

No, it's not nation specific, but it's a rare event. Infor Vadul the Ancient Presence and his horde of manikins and mandragora wipe out something on the order of 75-90% of province pop and then attack it.
That one is the absolute worst, followed by plague events. Also a bit nation dependent, Gath has a temple cost of 800, so when they get the earthquake, that's a rather non-trivial loss. Many events are somewhat dependent on what stage of the game they happen, but the plague and manikin events are never good.

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
The Ancient presence has high growth and magic scale requirements IIRC. Possibly forest as well, but I'm uncertain on that one.
I think I would be smilingly furious if I got the Skögu-Kirke event

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
I dread the event that gives me 453470 militia . It cripples your economy and can be a pain to dispose of them all. Fortunately Dwarf Fortress has taught me how to kill unwanted refugees in the most creative of manners.

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
As much as I love ridiculously high Blesses, I won't play a game with negative Luck-the bad luck events are ridiculous and can easily cripple a nation if you expand slowly-which I tend to do.

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
I dunno. Having Bogus and party drop in on the same province your rainbow god is sight searching and you forgot to give him "retreat orders" is pretty bad news. Or,having "retreat orders" on your rainbow god and getting hit with a random assassin or ninja attempt.

I have missed this one. What is the Skögu-Kirke event?
I gather from google that it may be tied to Sauromatian heroes?

I have a better one for you.
I was attacking with my Cylcops god into some random unknown territory, with one free space behind him. He defeated the indies and then got into a fist-fight with a bunch of bless Abysians. You know, the ones dual wielding flails? Nasty stuff. He retreated without any afflictions, but on the same turn, the troll and his merry band attacked the province directly behind him, cutting off his retreat route

"Suddenly an arrow came out of the sky and pierced The Fountain of Blood through the heart. He died instantly".
This one made me angry. (WTF? how can an arrow kill a statue???)

Re: The most dreadful (random) event?
Clearly your fountain was far too brittle, I'd recommend going with one of the metallic options rather than stone. Just make sure it won't corrode in blood - stick away from iron or low grade stainless
