Exploration Events
About
A sound is played once you spot an object of an event, making it a bit easier to not miss stumbling on to it.
Idea behind the Events
John Carver:
"There are now dozens of new items in the game related to special events you can find in the wilderness. Finding these strange, wondrous, or sometimes spooky structures and discovering what they mean is something we're going to leave up to you! This mechanic will most likely need a lot of balance and tweaking that will require use on a large-scale vs. our test server environment. As it stands at launch each season a random number of exploration events will be seeded throughout the world. On Popham that number will be closer to 100 and on Providence that number will be closer to 1,000. The hope is that on each turn of the season the Pilgrims will feel an incentive to leave their base and get out exploring."
How many events
John Carver: "We will be launching this patch (1.2) with (5) different exploration events but will be making an effort to push a handful of new ones in subsequent patches."
Where and when they spawn
- Events do not spawn on either a town, pclaim, or the starting town. They appear when the season changes and they will remain on the map until a player has collected the related items.

Exploration Event Trees
About
Rarely, when exploring the 
Coniferous Biome you may find an Eagle Tree. With 
Any Axe equipped Chop down the Eagle Tree to drop the Eagle Nest to the ground. Rooting through the Eagle Nest will give 
Eagle Eggs and 
Eagle Feathers. An Eagle Egg can be counts as 
Any Poultry Egg in recipes and a Template:Eagle Feather counts as 
Any Feathers in recipes. Chopping down an Eagle Tree will leave a Hollow Log and a Hollow Stump.
Rarely, when exploring the 
Greenwood Biome you may find a Hangman Tree. With the Larceny skill learned right-click the Hanging Man and select L3wt. This will give you 
Evidence of Royal Conspiracy. Evidence of Royal Conspiracy can be turned in to His Majesty's Stall for 10x 
IOUs. L3wting a Hangman is NOT a Crime and therefor will not leave Scents. A Hangman Tree can be Picked for 
Branches or Chopped to produce a Hollow Log and a Hollow Stump. Seeing a Hanging Man will increase your Insanity, however, seeing the Hangman Tree without the Hanging Man will not.
