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 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]], 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.
-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.
+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 '''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 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>
-[[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.

Buildings are damaged, trees are uprooted, and ships are capsized at sea. Trade is interrupted for at least a week and cleanup efforts struggle through most of Intas because of the continued cold and wet weather.

Hesse is mostly coated with slick ice several inches thick in the higher elevations. Gior, as always, nestled in their mountain homes, hardly notices. 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.

-| style="font-size:.8em;" | Several days of severe winds rip across the Six Kingdoms. Sandstorms are whipped up in Mugroba, ships are capsized at sea, Old Rose Harbor is belted with high waves, and Hesse is whipped by howling, icy wind. 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.
