The Anthem creates reality all around us. Cataclysms are simply smaller realities it's built—temporary ones. — Doctor Harken educating the Freelancer about the cataclysm. .

However, there are many times, they can grow stronger and difficult to contain. During these times, Freelancers take part in a special event to put an end to them. These are usually season-long events with new enemies to fight, mysteries to uncover, power to be gained, and rewards to be obtained.
