=Weather=
Like many other cities, Ymiden is a moderate to warm season for Desnind and Magani. In heavily forested areas, the warmth is diminished into a pleasant coolness that only heavy shade can provide. Closest to the water, the heat causes moderate to severe humidity. This is expected to get worse in Saun. Occasionally the heat is broken by cloudy days and the occasional afternoon shower. The forest is full of life which makes for good hunting and the plants are heavy with exotic fruits and berries.

Many Sevor will give tokens and bond with their dabi uaya. The Tunäwä honors Aläïwä heavily on this day for it is her birthday. Love and birth represent the general theme of the celebration.
