Specific Events

Saun: 40 Trials

[ INJECT THE EVENTS HERE ]

Weather, Nature & Trends

Saun: 40 Trials

Natural Phenomena

This Saun there is an abundance of flowers, insects and bees - much more than in other years - mostly, that's nice, but the Scalvfuffy's are a pain. Open
Previously nocturnal animals are seen wandering around, quite happily. Any hour of the day or night, they're there. Open
Throughout this season, Rainbow Sand suddenly reappears. It's all over the place, too - and is especially likely to appear in one of the four areas with Induks (Faldrass, Sweetwine, Scaltoth, Ishallr) - it appears apparently randomly.Open
The animals in Ol' Tucks Run remain very active. With Ol'Tuck being sighted and the fairy population now a regular occurance. There are a lot of animals, population has grown enormously. When animal life doubles, Sweetwine becomes very full indeed. Open
Harvests this season are very good - there's an abundance of food! Open

Weather

As the monsoons of Ymiden become a thing of memory, Saun begins, bringing with it another sun. There is no night time in Saun, the second sun is always in the sky. The first one still does the dawn - dusk thing, but that's largely unnecessary.
Saun is the hottest season in Idalos with high temperatures that can become unbearable to work in.
Somehow, even in Saun, Treid's Teeth do not melt, nor does the ice-island Ishallr, although those are the only two places on Scalvoris where snow and ice can be seen.
During this season, night time provides a small relief to the heat and though the temperatures aren't so excruciatingly hot in the evening (since there's only one sun), exposure to the sun without proper water and shade as well as rest can be fatal.
This Saun, there are lots of storms across Scalvoris.

Skies

There is no night sky - but the sun has a ring of stars around it!
Skies are bright and clear and largely cloudless

Up-dos and fancy hair!: Fancy hair is in fashion - the fancier and more outrageous the better!
Star Rings!: There are stars around the second sun! Stars in the sky! Stars are IN this season - star jewellry, star tattooes, stars on your shoes. Stars!
Pink!: Anything pink is the rage this season!
Window displays: Every window is a work of art - or should be!

The streets, despite the increased Elements presence, are not safe. Attacks happen often.
