Cataclysmic Events, Forgotten Beasts and stat disparity

[MaltGrain]

TLDR; Creatures or events that have the strength to damage palisades, and do. Often.

Could cataclysmic events and forgotten beasts address 'vertical progression' and complaints of quality/stat disparity?
You'd have destructive events weighted around areas of concentrated development and quality, representing the brightest hearthlings struggle against the tumultuous indiference of the Hearth gods. Slap it on a supergrid (or something) and suddenly that prosperous village claim has attracted th attention of Forgotten Beasts and the eye of some storm.
The intention is essentially to bring the consequence of PVP raiding from the PVE world - You'd essentially be griefed by NPCs.
If you're a solo hermit this probably isn't going to effect you directly.

A few examples ideas;
•A giant snail slowly, very slowly, sliming everything in it's wake. Literally destroys parts of your claim, dropping items from cupboards and all that. Magma varient that consumes ores and metal from mines it passes, moving between lava biomes world wide. Ofcourse it kills anything unfortunate enough to stumble in its path, and perhaps is gel can be used as a high quality, unique glue.
•Your province experiences unusual weather patterns and is in for a harsh winter, freezing cisterns and damaging crop quality. You might have had early warning, had you built a weathervane.. at least you've got plenty of bonus quality snowflakes.
•A Scarring earthquake, sending out tendrils along biome edges that cuts into biomes and generates mineral and soil properties.
