Melrath Climate

Rebirth Cycle

The Rebirth Cycle often possess a biting cold that forces the Melrathi to bundle up in thick robes or knitted coats. Snow clings to the ground during this time but the land is not impassable as it can be during the Cold Cycle. Mornings are bright and laced with frost, forcing many to wait inside or at a fireside until the sun fully rises. As Ashan nears, greenery returns to the nation throughout the forests and mountains. Rains are light and often approach from the direction of the sea in the afternoons.

Hot Cycle

During the Hot Cycle the temperature does indeed rise substantially but not so much that that it takes the morning chill out of the air. The people of Melrath tend to enjoy the Hot Cycle the most as it is a time when there are regular rains and the land is resplendent with life. At the hottest points of the trial locals will only take to wearing simple linen or equally thin and light clothes. Little else is required in order to remain comfortable.

Cold Cycle

Once the Cold Cycle descends on the mountainous valleys of Meltath, the weather can turn cruel and unforgiving. Dense snows can appear out of nowhere, blanketing the region and leaving roofs collapsed and trees uprooted from the weight of snow clinging to branches. Locals wear thick furs during this time of the arc and special care is taken to ensure the prevention of frostbite. This is always the most deadly Cycle as temperatures drop well below freezing, especially during Cylus. Children and unsheltered livestock can easily freeze within a single break if left exposed to the elements. It is normally very difficult to traverse the main road to Raelia during this time, many will resort to traveling by way of Myrkvior Forest simply to have some shelter from the elements. Of course this route comes with it’s own risks.
