| | ===Season Overview=== | | ===Season Overview=== |
| − | In the [[Anaxas| Kingdom of Anaxas]], the Spring Season feels suspiciously like winter, only windier. Intas sees a severe wind storm as well as a severe snow storm, both of which cause damage and suffering among the poor in Vienda and all the way into the Northern Tors. | + | In the [[Anaxas| Kingdom of Anaxas]], the Rainy Season finally feels like winter has loosened its very tight grip, only to replace snow and ice with so much rain. Loshis opens with the [[Feast of St. Grumble]], chilly temperatures, and lots of rain. |
| − | | |
| − | While the Spring Equinox isn't actually until Loshis, the early darkness and long nights of winter slowly begin to shorten by the end of Bethas. In Intas, darkness falls, on average, around the 20th hour in Anaxas and the sun rises around the 8th hour. Bastia and Hesse experience similar long nights and short days, but for the Midlands, by the end of Bethas, the sun sets around the 19th hour and rises around the 7th. Hox remains in darkness until the equinox when the sun finally reaches its apex for the first time in months.
| |
| | | | |
| − | The '''New Year''' begins Intas 1st, marking a change in the calendar from 2718AT to 2719AT. In [[Anaxas]], the new year is celebrated famously with [[Clock's Eve]], a kingdom-wide celebration of Alioe and the turning of another year. Galdori universities across the Six Kingdoms open their doors to students again and classes begin on Intas 5th. This begins the penultimate year of the Kingdom of Anaxas being the seat of the Symvouli as well, meaning that preparations are made throughout this year for the turning of the governmental cycle and the handing over of the seat of Kingdom unity to Mugroba in 2720. | + | The Spring Equinox falls on '''Loshis 17th''', less than a week after the end of the Feast, and while this day is celebrated by all races, it is perhaps of more importance to the nomadic wick tribes who use it for timekeeping than it is to the rest of so-called civilized society. The days have lengthened, though not yet stretched into the lazy lengths of the end of summer and the dry season. Throughout the rainy season, the sun rises around the 6th or 7th hour and darkness falls as late as the 22nd or 24th hour by the end of Hamis. Hox finally sees more sunlight as well, though the Kingdom is still locked snow until the Great Thaw in Hamis. |
| | | | |
| − | [[Bethas 2719| Bethas]] marks the month-long [[Wick Festival]] on [[Surwood Isle]]. Wicks from every kingdom travel to the small island in the Arova, much to the displeasure of the Anaxi government to celebrate families, tribes, accomplishments, tribulations, and new births. Marriage ceremonies are a huge part of the Surwood tradition. This year, after the riots and revoking of writs in Anaxas and the severe winter across most of the kingdoms, there is a lot of mourning and uncertainty among the tribes. Conflict and blame, a restless impatience with government, and shock at the staggering losses of entire families to fighting and weather dampen the otherwise free-spirited and often wild expression of wick culture the Festival is known for.
| + | In the Kingdom of [[Mugroba]], rainy season is known as '''Flood Season'''. It is the one time of the year that consistent rainfall touches the desert kingdom, and with the thawing of Hox adding to the water as it flows from the Steppes, all the waterways in Mugroba overflow. The Turga and other major rivers flood their banks and the rich silt at the bottom of the waterways once again renew the soil. This is a celebrated season in the Kingdom as well as the launch of the political campaigning in the capitol of [[Thul Ka]] for elections in Roalis. |

Classes are canceled, trade is further interrupted, and the rest of the month finds various levels of suffering caused by such severe weather across many Kingdoms, especially among the already downtrodden.

Trade again is interrupted, which doesn't bode well for the economy of the Six Kingdoms in this last year of the Anaxi Symvouli. As the government prepares to gather for the Rainy Season, this wind storm becomes a negative harbinger for what's in store.
