 *[[Raktam]] was repeatedly raided by the [[Greater Shartak Unification Coalition]], with substantial casualties to both sides including many non-combatants. By early December the GSUC finally withdrew, proclaiming victory: the claim to victory was equally shared by the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]] who said they successfully repelled the assault.
-*[[The Battle of the Crazy Falls]] took place between various factions of natives and outsiders. Divine intervention in the form of bolts of lightning against various outsiders who attacked prior to the starting time of the battle resulted in a conclusive native victory, claimed jointly by the [[Kingdom of Skulls]] and the [[Royal Court of Greater Raktam]]. [[Eyes of a Hawk]] won 5,000 gold coins in prize money as a consequence of killing three opponents in the battle (a distinction equaled by Frodor), and was proclaimed champion of the battle. Erstwhile native empress [[Dappled Shadow]] died a permanent death during the battle, apparently assassinated on contract by [[Rex Feral]].

 *[[Santa]] appeared at his grotto again, dispensing gold and items to those who have been both bad and good. Santa died seven times during the holiday period, somewhat less than the Yuletide gorefest of 2007.  This is due to the fact that the [[the Rakmogaki Collective]] intervened in the Grotto, slaying anyone who threatened the Big Fat Red Saint. A large concentration of spirits also led to the slaughter.
