Some extended shpeal about how the year cycle is loosely based on the Four Annual Worldwide Cataclysms (FAWCs), or

simply "The Four". They're named based on the life patterns the people here must adhere to.

The year starts in Glow, a season of preparation for the world's first cataclysm: Slumber & Godshallow

Then is Sheen, a warm and rainy season. Huge storms move through the world.

Then in Allbloom, Everash & Flamefall. The draconic descent.

Tidewall is a month of bounty and sport. A much needed respite.

In Mist, Demon Moon and the Opening of the Gates. Hell roams the earth.

Frostcall brings first snow and ice, a chill across the isles.

Finally, during Thaw, Culling & Shadowsun take place, and unspeakable horrors manifest in a spreading madness.
