\subsection{Creating Encounters}
-Whether you're in the middle of an adventure or the \glspl{pc} are just randomly wandering the world without any respect for local laws or plot, a random encounter can always add a sense of danger to a non-urban area.
+\iftoggle{aif}{%
+ Random Encounters have shaped Fenestra into a dangerous, untamed land.
+ They ensure every village on the \gls{edge} has a tall wall, and push everyone without their own land or function into the \gls{guard}.
+}{
+ Each area in your world should have its own encounter table, giving it a unique feel, and showing the players what kinds of creatures, weather patterns, and people live there.
+}
-Each time the players pass through a region, roll $3D6$ on the encounter table and create an encounter from the result.
-You can make a unique encounter table for each region in your campaign to individuate them.
-As an example, have a look at Manticide's forests:
+Check the following encounter table for the \iftoggle{aif}{Mt Arthur}{Crawling Valley} region.
+If we roll $2D6$, we can call the first dice `the left hand die', and the second `the right hand die'.
+If the left hand die lands on a `6', and the right on a `4', then the troupe have encountered $1D6+2$ Wolves.
+Note the `animal' symbol (\A), indicating an encounter with a non-sentient species.
+\footnote{For a full list of symbols, see the glossary.}
-\begin{encounters}{Manticide}
+An encounter with wolves might mean they want to steal the troupe's rations while they sleep, or that the troupe simply see wolves running in the distance.
+Not all encounters will want to harm the players.

+Each encounter table can cover subtly shifting terrain-types.
+The basic encounters here show what players encounter between villages.
+However, once the troupe moves farther away from civilized lands, the left hand die gains a +1 result.
+On row number `1', the travelling bard is replaced with a deer, and on row `3', the villagers are replaced with brigands.
-\end{encounters}
+Still farther out, in the depths of the forest, the left hand die gains a +2.
+The priest on row `2', is replaced with griffins, and the Nomads on row `4' are replaced with a basilisk.
-The forest can be a dangerous place, but not nearly as dangerous as the marshes.
-The entire Manticide area is infested with ghouls, but they get much more common once one passes beyond the forest's edge and into the marshes.
+Not all forest encounters are dangerous, but it has many more dangers than the safe, civilized, areas.
-Some encounters presented are fairly benign.
-Wolves may try to steal the party's food, but they're not dangerous, and human traders simply provide an opportunity to gain news, and travel with a little more safety.
-Despite the different tables, the overlap provides some cohesion to the area.
+Different areas have their own steps.
+Areas with starkly different terrain-types might add `+2' to a roll with nothing in-between the two, or could contains three or four types of terrain.
-If you reach a result which is not listed, there is no encounter.
-If you roll an encounter on trips (three of the same number) roll again, and if you get another encounter, combine the two.
-If you get a griffin and a bandit, perhaps the players stumble upon bandits in the woods, attempting to pilfer griffin eggs for a patron.
-If you roll wolves and a griffin, perhaps the players hear victorious howls in the distance, as wolves have caught a griffin.
+\subsubsection{Changing Seasons}
-You may want to set up your random encounter before the start of the session, allowing you to review monsters' stats and perhaps tie the encounters together, or integrate them with active characters from players' \glspl{storypoint}, or recent events in the campaign.
+Cold seasons bring freezing winds, but many of the more dangerous predators can also go into hibernation.
+Warmer seasons have their own challenges, including floods in some colder regions, or heatwaves in warmer regions.

-`1' means `ahead', `2', means 'ahead from the right', `3' means 'behind from the right', `4' means `from behind', and so on.

-If the players successfully hide from something nasty, it tells them about what kinds of creatures inhabit this area.
-If they find a trader on the road facing towards them, he may share some gossip, or just assume they might rob him and try to his wares.
+Peaceful encounters with sentient races can yield a lot of information.
+Traders might tell the troupe about other dangerous encounters by telling them about encountering some dangerous creature, and perhaps about how one of their number was eaten the day before by some awful monster.
-Almost any friendly people travelling in the same direction as they party will want to join them for safety in numbers.
+When on the road, almost everyone is travelling in the opposite direction to the \glspl{pc}, because those travelling in the same direction will normally remain behind or ahead of them.
+Therefore, groups often cannot band together for safety very often, unless one is travelling exceptionally fast or slow.
+However, if two groups meet at night, they will generally expect to spend the night together.
+There is safety in numbers, and everyone likes to hear new stories by the fireside.
