Welcome to Summer Season 2719!

The Summer Season encompasses the single, long month of Roalis and stretches for 80 days instead of consisting of two months of 40 days each. This season runs out-of-character from July 1st, 2019 to August 30, 2019.

Please note: this is the third season of AT 2719, and in the spirit of keeping a fluid timeline, players are currently welcome to continue to write threads throughout all of 2718 without making them memory threads as well as threads written in the previous seasons of 2719: Spring and Rainy seasons. Any threads written pre-Intas 2718, however, are memory threads. This may be subject to change by Autumn 2719, so please plan to wrap up 2718 current threads by then.

Season Overview

In the 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.

Particularly auspicious are the 51st and 52nd of the month, which see Benea and Osa full simultaneously on warm, clear evenings. The Summer Solstice 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.

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.

Roalis Important Events

Holidays

Roalis 3rd: Day of Union.

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).

 ===Season Overview===
-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 [http://wiki.anaxasdiaries.com/Feast_Of_St._Grumble Feast of St. Grumble], chilly temperatures, and lots of rain.

Some students even remain on their campuses, but almost every galdor finds a moment to enjoy the season at least once.
-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.
+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.
-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.
+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.

-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.
