Hale/snow storm - As the end of Vhalar saw first snow, Zi’da attacked with harsh snow and hail storms. 5th and 6th trial witness non-stop antics of the weather, with hail stones as large as a small egg. Citizens are advised to not leave their housing and to board up the windows to prevent damage.
Unusual Phenomenon
20th Vhalar - First Dusk - Takes place at Eastern temple as citizens can witness the first clear and bright stars marking the sky after countless trials of daylight. It take place at the Dawn Gazing site of the temple and is accompanied by light music and refreshments.

115th - 123rd Vhalar - Zi’da’s promise - In the dropping temperatures and if weather allows, citizens can look up to the sky for a star with magnificent tail travelling across the night arc. It is said to be the promise of Zi’da of the cold it will bring. Apparently, the longer the tail, the harsher the temperatures.

Festival Of Unity - 9th Trial of Vhalar
A very special day celebrated with promises and renewed vows across Ne'haer, people will find the streets and parks decorated with flowers all over the town. People who are determined to get hitched will find this to be a popular day to do so, as couples seeking to tie the knot will gather within the center of Ne'haer for a ceremony. At midday vows are then exchanged between the betrothed publicly, as a feast to celebrate follows later while newlyweds consummate their marriages. This isn't required for those who wish to marry in privacy of course, those who would seek quieter ways of tying the knot can gather at the temple and exchange vows there instead.

Heroes Celebration - 26th Trial of Vhalar
On this day Ne'haer spends time remembering those that have served Ne'haer, dead and alive, with a grand memorial service held in their honor within the Temple of the All Gods. There they are allowed to light a candle for stranger and friend alike, that have dedicated their service for the safety and welfare of their own home. Later when night time falls; candles are seen illuminating the streets and windows of the city, honoring the fallen as the day proceeds to end just like the rest.

Spirit Festival - 40th Trial of Vhalar
A festival of memory and in honour of Famula, the people of Ne'haer gather after sundown in the fields before the Willow Woods Outpost. There, floating candles are lit and released into the sky in the cool Vhalar night in order to represent the departed souls that Famula takes care of. After this procession, the people of Ne'haer come together for a simple campfire feast where stories of loved lost ones are exchanged with tears and laughter.

The people of each city and town wait for the farmers to return from the fields to their homes, where they are cheered and given the place of guest of honour at a feast the other village people have prepared. Depending on the size of the town, the feast might be small and intimate, or loud and raucous.

The Territories

Image
Wealth: Improving - Trade negotiations with Etzos, are reaching final stages and could secure the long needed stability as well as healthy economy. With the cold cycle, the Council announces several development project to be started the following cycle and encourages citizens of skills to file their suggestions and apply for positions in project planning.
Military: Spread Thin - Much of the Blades still remain spread thin as recruit numbers have been dismal lately. The resources at the Council's disposal remain far too limited to continue watch in some of the surrounding territories. An open call for more recruits was announced in hopes it will draw in those in dire need looking for shelter that the Council could train for Blades in return for roof over their head and food in their stomach. The Council may consider reaching out to Hyran for support. The Faith took the opportunity and established its own military force, the Templars, which is patrolling the grounds of the temples.
Allies: Treth, Millstone
Enemies: Bayward, Lysoria, Ironridge
Conflicts: Ne'haer is on the verge of instating The Coalition, an act that's meant to instill peace and prosperity between the territories. Naturally they are obliged to either accept or refuse the terms, which only means yet another power struggle in choosing sides for the territories. At the same time The Faithful continue to act out against The Coalition, and take matters into their own hands in regards to the people of Ne'haer and their safety. Negotiations for The Coalition proceed and the Council is hoping to gather representatives from all surrounding territories for discussion panel on terms of the treaty.

            I shall give you hunger, and pain, and sleepless nights. Also beauty, and satisfactions known to few, and glimpses of the heavenly life. None of these you shall have continually, and of their coming and going you shall not be foretold. ~ Howard Lindsay
