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
Exploration Event Trees are 
Trees which rarely spawn in certian Biomes after a Season change. When spawned, an Exploration Event Tree will replace an existing Tree. Right-clicking an Exploration Event Tree and selecting "Pick Branches" will give your 
Branches. Occasionally, when Picking Branches, you will obtain a 
Broken Bough instead. There is no limit to how many Branches can be collected from any one Tree, you will simply Pick until you reach your max Encumbrance, run out of Phlegm, or click away. With Any Axe equipped, right-clicking on an Exploration Event Tree and selecting "Chop" will Chop down the Exploration Event Tree to produce a 
Hollow Log. When Chopping down a Tree there is a chance to recieve a 
Cross-Shaped Wood Splinter or to find an 
Abandoned Bird's Nest below you. When an Exploration Event Tree is Chopped down it leaves a 
Hollow Stump behind.
An 
Eagle Tree spawns in the 
Coniferous Biome, and in additional to a Hollow Log, when Chopped down an Eagle Tree will produce an 
Eagle Nest. Rooting through an Eagle Nest will give you a random number of 
Eagle Eggs and 
Eagle Feathers.
A 
Hangman Tree spawns in the 
Greenwood Biome, and with the skill Larceny learned, right-clicking on the Hanging Man and selecting "L3wt" will give you an 
Evidence of Royal Conspiracy. Although it required Larceny L3wting a Hangman is NOT a Crime and therefor will not leave Evidence or Scents.
Darkness have a chance to spawn a 
Lumberlord in its place.
