Is there a barbarian attack event or is this a bug?

There are quite a few of random events of some kind of independents attacking one of your provinces, barbarians is one of them. There are also vinemen, knights, and a band of adventurers. It's just extremely unlikely to hit your capitol on turn 2-3 like what looks to have happened there.

I think troglodytes are the worst. Something like 50 size four tramplers can take down just about any PD that hasn't been bought in ridiculous numbers. IIRC the event also kills a lot of population.

The vampire count event is usually hilariously inneffective.

The trog event also gives a magical site (Deepest Cavern) with 1E income.

There is more than one troglodyte event. The one that gives the site is known as the Kaspar event, for Kaspar of the Cave, who is mentioned in it.

The other one is earthquake + loss of temple + 10-25% popkill + trogs, so it's a lot worse.
