Summer 516
Event Caledar
Summer is the coldest season in Avanthal. The snowstorms are more frequent but less severe. Also, there will be two occasions of a midnight sun. The days will shorten and shift until the first midnight sun and then Syna’s light will not grace the city of ice and snow until a second midnight sun appears after forty-two days of darkness that is sometimes called The Endless Night or the Long Dark. The midnight suns only last for one bell. It takes fifteen days for the normal Summer schedule to transition but even then it is only about eight bells of light that starts around the 10th bell.
[D] = Additional details will be provided once an event has been claimed.
[M] = I will be moderating Morwen for these events. However, anyone may claim and start them.
1st – Summer has begun! The Vantha gather at the Smoldering Embrace to mark the change of season.
5th - Morwen visits the Frozen Falls Market. [M]
13th – The Coolwater Hold is hosting a massive hunting excursion along the coast to load up all of the stores before the Long Dark. [D]
19th – The Hunter Savant Lodge opens its doors to find a group of battered and beat-down hunters. They tell stories of strange things occurring in the Wastes. [D]
24th – Midnight Sun; last bell of Syna’s light until next midnight sun
44th-46th - The Aurora Soiree – The three day festival is the high point of the season. There's a huge gathering in The Crystal Hall that extends the entire time. Food, refreshment and fellowship abound under the brilliant and dazzling auroras which are at their brightest. Morwen is out and about being social and handling party business like announcing a king and queen as well as judging the ice sculpting competition. [D][M] **This may become multiple threads if there is enough interest**
51st-55th – Snow storms rage so hard that buildings shake in the wind. Regardless of race, religion or hold, the place one starts the storm is where they will be until it’s over. Trying to brave the elements with anything less than 3 marks from Morwen could prove fatal.
66th - Midnight Sun; lasts for one bell
74th – Morwen takes a walk through the Sculpture Yard to admire the work of her people. [M]
81st – The Wooly migration past Avanthal’s walls is a bit sooner than normal and the herd is thin. Morwen is concerned and sends the Icewatch and other skilled individuals to assess the situation. [D]
