=Overview=
The Rebirth Cycle in Desnind is one of festivals and symbolism. Light returning after darkness, hope after despair.

'''General Weather'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Long cold days leave the world in a constant state of twilight. Living outdoors becomes extremely difficult due to the icy temperatures and flora and fauna suffer during this time. Grass dies making livestock, who need to eat more to survive the harsh conditions, difficult to feed, and a lot of trees fall into dormancy, slowing down their metabolism and energy consumption in order to survive the season until the sun comes up again.

While the days slowly tick on, the sun begins to sink to the horizon before finally being blocked by one of Idalos' slow orbiting moons. The stationary effect of this moon, however, is partly due to the Ellune and their dormant ruler, Treid. His influence over the moons, and his less than favorable views of Faldrun, prevent the moon from showing any light for 30 trials. A curse he enacted to punish Faldrun for his backhanded and wicked ways, Treid was incapacitated by Audrae before he could remove it. Now the world suffers sunless for 30 trials an Arc, until the light of Ashan touches it once more.</div></div>

'''Desnind Specific'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Cylus is a time when darkness takes Desnind and there is an air of doom over the place. Shadows lurk in each place and the trees and plants seem to move in eerie patterns. Being far in the south, Desnind rarely experiences extremes of weather, but this Cylus sees snow, sleet and freezing rain.
* 9th Cylus: The snow starts to fall. It's late this arc but, when it falls it comes down hard and heavy. 
* 15th - 17th: Blizzard 
</div></div>

==Ashan==

'''General Weather'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The first few weeks of Ashan are rigidly cold. Though the sun finally makes its appearance from Cylus, it takes many trials before the ice melts away into puddles, blooming flowers and grass. Ashan experiences a cold period, lasting for a quarter of the season before the temperature finally heats up enough to begin sowing crops for the Arc. Ashan is mainly known for it's spring weather, gentle breezes, and the rebirth of plant life. Barren trees slowly sprout buds of leaves and flowers, releasing a green haze of pollen while green grass grows slowly from the wet soil. Dead leaves from the previous season are swallowed up during this cycle, providing nutrients for new life growing from the ground.
<br><br>
Ashan lasts a total of 123 trials (days) while experiencing pretty moderate weather. Later in the season, rain clouds become a common thing, depending on the environment. The temperature begins to heat up while the green haze of pollen dies away and the budding plant life fully sprouts into bushy trees, thick grass, and lively, colorful flowers. As the season closes, the temperature rises, ushering in stronger storms and much hotter weather.</div></div>

=Events=
CYLUS
* 21st - 29th - Citizens of Desnind notice sudden spike in disappearances. Whoever ventures past the walls during these trials is less likely to return. Whilst it is not uncommon for this to occur during this season and many know it be dangerous to venture to the Lori during Cylus, it still makes the skin crawl when not one, but many experienced Sev'ryn do not come home. Search parties sent out do not return either.



ASHAN
* 15th - 18th - '''"Disease on our doorstep"''' (self-modded) - Series of random animal attack threatens the walls of Desnind. From the very first incident it is clear that something unusual is happening. These animals don't look right. Some have been part mauled. Some have that unhinged look about them. All of them carry the foul stench of the Bad Lands. They come suddenly in herds or alone. They attack without logic or coordination, but then always retreat en masse. It is almost as if something, or someone, was sending out scouts to see the durability of Desnind's defences.



* 35th - '''"Spectral visions"''' (modded case by case) - Strange sightings are observed. Mirages of humanoid shape are seen along the walls of Desnind. At first the alarm sounds and fears of Motsin attack take hold of the city. However, those are quickly disproved as a group of brave Nafaka head to investigate. Their report is mixed and inconsistent. Some refuse to give details altogether, but there is a running thread through it all. The Nafaka members believe that ghosts have arrived. What do they want or why they are there? No one can tell for sure, but an air of tension hangs about them.



* 40th - A scout rushes into Desnind, horror on her face. The Bad Lands have spread miles past the safety posts. Something has accelerated its advance and the furthest borders which used to be 7 trials ride are now only 3 trials away.
