| | ===Season Overview=== | | ===Season Overview=== |
| − | In the [[Anaxas| Kingdom of Anaxas]], the Winter Season hits especially hard, with Ophus experiencing the harshest, most bitter cold on record in centuries. Writs revoked, many nomadic wicks suffer horribly during this cold because they are unable to take shelter in the protective walls of Vienda. Staggering deaths sweep through the tribes, and even the poor humans and tsats across all of Anaxas experience death at shocking levels from the frigid temperatures. | + | In the [[Anaxas| Kingdom of Anaxas]], Summer Season casts off all the wet chill with great reluctance, though when it finally settles into the Sister Kingdoms of the Midlands, the weather is truly lovely. University students in all Six Kingdoms are out for the entire month of Roalis on Summer Break, though many students choose to pursue extracurricular educational opportunities in the form of internships, summer classes, lengthy field trips, or research studies. Some students even remain on their campuses, but almost every galdor finds a moment to enjoy the season at least once. |
| | | | |
| − | Darkness falls as early as the 18th hour in Anaxas and doesn't rise again until the 9th hour. Bastia and Hesse experience similar long nights and short days, as does most of Mugroba (although, the sun sets in Mugroba as early as the 16th hour). In northern Mugroba and all of Hox, darkness defines most of the season until the equinox. On that day, there is only one house (3 hours) of twilight-like daylight, with the days slowly lengthening again until the end of Intas when they begin to return to normal divisions of light and darkness.
| + | Particularly auspicious are the 51st and 52nd of the month, which see Benea and Osa full simultaneously on warm, clear evenings. The <b>Summer Solstice</b> falls on the 65th of Roalis, which is, of course, the longest day of the year. This is celebrated across all the Six Kingdoms, though Hesseans are known to be the most festive—their flower parades and feasts are the stuff of legends. All races celebrate the bounties of summer. |
| | | | |
| − | Bastia and Hesse also suffer from the extreme cold, with the wind-swept plains and rugged landscape of Hesse blanketed in the most snow the Kingdom has seen in decades, slowing trade to a crawl. The Kingdom of Gior, built already into the mountains, feels the bitter winter far less heavily than her neighbors. The Kingdom of Mugroba revels in the cooler desert temperatures, and the stoic Kingdom of Hox, already buried in snow and winter, hardly bats an eye.
| + | The days stretch their longest during the summer, and the sun rises around the 5th or 6th hour, with darkness sometimes not falling until the 24th or 25th hour, lasting nearly a full 20 hours on the solstice. Hoxian spring occurs during Roalis and the kingdom is so far north that on the 65th, the sun only sets for less than an hour.</div> |
| − | | |
| − | With [[Brunnhold]]'s Graduation over—having finished up the five-day experience from Vortas 35-40th—Winter Break lasts until Ophus 40th. Moving In and Welcome Days offer students an opportunity to settle into their residences before Clock's Eve (Intas 1st) from Ophus 35th-40th, though the cold weather causes delays across the entire Kingdom.

| | + | Roalis 3rd: [[Day of Union]]. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Achtus Important Events===
| + | A Mugrobi holiday, though one that is not necessarily universally celebrated due to it's controversial nature: it is the anniversary of the day that the War of Unification ended and all human tribes were united under galdori rule. For galdori, this day is of special significance, because it represents the beginning of Mugroba's magical renaissance; for humans and wicks, the day is bittersweet (or perhaps just bitter).</div> |

Most young students go home to be with their families, while some choose to remain before they rise into the next grade. Graduates settle into their internships or employment at this time.

Gior, nestled in the mountains themselves, hardly notices. Hesse sends extra fuel to Bastia shortly after the snow is cleared from this particular stormfront.

His death is seen as symbolic of the beginning of the true Resistance, and is observed by the planting of winter heath, which represents strength against adversity. Please note: Participating in this event is risky because galdori do not sanction the holiday.

Nomadic wicks and those in poverty in the Dives of Vienda and Old Rose Harbor suffer the worst of it, going hungry and without access to proper heating. Bastia's fuel crisis causes the death of many in isolated areas of the Kingdom. Hesse cannot send relief to either Kingdom because of the transportation issues the severe weather causes.

| − | | style="font-size:.8em;" | [[Dally Day]] is an Anaxi human holiday that consists of nothing but a day off of work. It was invented because of high levels of worker fatigue during the winter months. The day of Ophus 1st is a paid day of vacation. The day raises morale and gives workers a much-needed break.

There are many deaths reported in the Dives and among the nomadic wick population who are outlawed from seeking shelter within the city limits. Pipes burst in major cities in Anaxas, Bastia, and Hesse, causing plumbing issues for any number of households, and taking well over a week to repair. Fires break out in the poor neighborhoods across many Kingdoms because people are desperate for warmth, making this Ophus one of the worst in a long time.

In Vienda and Brunnhold as well as across all of Hox, magical light shows are a huge part of the Solstice celebration. Mugrobi fireworks are a huge deal, though many of the celebrations this year are very dampened by the deadly cold. In Gior, large lanterns are lit on the outside of the mountain cites, visible from miles away and through the thickest of winter storms. A large pyre is burned on the Giore mountain summit above Qrieth.
