Seasons and Weather
01
Overview
Current Season: Summer, 847 A
There are only extremes in Hvalla and this is reflected in its seasons. There are only two recognized seasons in Hvalla: Summer and Winter.
In summer, the sun scorches and shines light upon the earth. Winter comes in a single moment; it does not give warning, and while one day might be hotter than the furnace of a volcano, the next howls with winds filled with snow and ice and darkness descends. There is no in between.
Seasons can be affected by plot-related events. Please refer to this page, or check the front page of the DeviantArt Group for the current season.

Weather
The weather in the world of Hvalla is changing and unpredictable. When the Cataclysm occurred, an early winter took hold and extended itself longer than it ever had before. Since then, weather around the world has been difficult to forecast and even more wild than usual.
In the far North, the ice shelves are often lashed viciously and without remorse by wind and ice that is sharp enough to slice through fur and into skin.
In the far East, the mountains seem to be forever shrouded in deep, dark cloud, and the air - while always thin, has thinned further, and only the strongest breathe with ease.
In the far West, forests have grown chilly and devoid of warmth. Rain drenches the trees and thickens the earth into mud. Snow has begun to fall further South than it ever has done before.
The above is a general guide to the weather for your region for you to use in your roleplays, art, and literature. This weather may change during regional events, so watch your racial chats latest pins.
