.15th: Flash-hail. Large chunks of ice plummet from the heavens, many reaching the size of fists. Many roofs in the city suffer significant damage but people despite this retreat from the streets to take cover indoors for the whole day, some fleeing underground. The streets are practically barren.

34th: The first real snowfall of the year blankets the city quickly in bright white. Snow levels remain moderate and doesn't cause any significant trouble as of yet, but the appearence of snow causes people to scramble for resources to start rebuilding before too many citizens are homeless for the winter.
35th: Rumours spark around the city that a powerful sorceror is arriving, putting the population on edge. An increased number of dogs are encountered in the streets.
35th, addendum: Rokan, a Daggerhand general and one of the few remaining, is slain and put on display by a faceless assailant, at the steps of the gallows near Robern's old mansion, with a
note attached to his chest, daggers driven through his heart and hands, eyes carved out and put in his mouth.
37th: Hooded and cloaked figures start appearing more frequently in the streets, seemingly wearing uniform. They patrol alleyways and remaining stable rooftops, avoiding human contact but nevertheless making their presence known.
40th: Heavy snowfall. Unstable buildings start to cave under the weight of the snow and citizens gather together for a mass effort to collect materials and start building a refuge for the homeless in the old ruins of the city. It's a temporary solution, but they nevertheless try to offer reward for any help they can get. (

44th: Merchants in the city start to hold on more dearly to their wares. Foodstock becomes scarce and expensive, all fresh foods increasing in price to
twice their listed prices.
44th, addendum: Much of the food in the city seems to spoil very quickly, which prompts the increase in prices and also in public outcry as their hard-earned money is spent on rotten, sour or otherwise spoiled foodstock.
52nd: The refuge is half-finished, allowing some vagrants to move in and huddle together for warmth, protection and shelter. Many of the homeless that aren't able to fit into the new refuge are found frozen to death in the streets.

The cause of death is as of now unknown.

56th, addendum: A stink goes through the street as the corpses, some half-eaten by dogs and rodents, decompose at a rapid pace. An increased number of people start lining up desperately outside Doctor Petricious' temporary reception despite his odd reputation. Many seem to have come down with a horrid flu.
59th: Brega and her girls from the House of Happy Endings are seen patrolling the streets this day, handing out blankets and warm embraces to the needy. What prompted this act of charity?

67th: Hooded and cloaked figures make themselves known once more, patrolling streets and rooftops. They maintain a distance from the common folk.
