Ashan 718 Seasonal Events
Weather in Rharne

1st-11th Trial

The season begins with several trials of light showers. During this time the sky is overcast but it is clear that the weather is beginning to leave behind the chilly winds of Cylus. Warmer breezes and a light wind is felt coming from the direction of Lake Lovalus.

12th-16th Trial

Temperatures are milder due to higher levels of humidity and the sky remains overcast in the afternoons. There are signs that the warmth of Ashan is on it's way as the skies begin to clear.

17th-26th Trial

Finally the warmer winds of the season arrive. The sky is sunny and clear of any clouds. Locals are seen tending to their fields in the Stormlands and are garbed in clothing better suited to the warmer weather.

27th-32nd Trial

Light scattered showers begin arriving during the afternoons and stretching into the evening. Dark clouds have begun to amass to the south, suggesting that a storm is approaching.

33rd-38th Trial

The clouds gathering during the previous trials finally settle in over Rharne, letting down a proverbial deluge that causes several flash floods . Fields and homes are damaged and the water level of the lake begins to rise. These storms remind many Rharnians of the floods during the previous arc.

39th-42th Trial

The recent storms continue to grow in strength especially over the Stormlands. Many trees and homes are damaged by lightning strikes and powerful winds. The locals find comfort in the hope that the heavy rains will herald good harvests in the future.

43th-49th Trial

The latest storms begin to dissipate leaving behind light scattered showers. Due to flooding the water level in Lake Lovalus has risen by several feet. Flood damage has greatly impacted the Dust Quarter as many homes were destroyed due to the onslaught of wind and water.

50th-57th Trial

The air has become somewhat humid following the appearance of several storms. There is a refreshing coolness to the air along with a comfortable breeze from the north. Locals and especially children are often seen outdoors, enjoying the pleasant weather.

58th-64th Trial

The cooler winds begin to depart and are replaced by an oppressive heat that drives many Rharnians back indoors. It is hard to walk outside without breaking a sweat. Many swimmers are seen frequenting the lake and enjoying a dip in it's azure waters to find relief from the heat.

65th Trial

Picturesque clouds begun to blanket the skies in the afternoon, granting the people of Rharne a reprieve from the heat. There is very little wind but the temperature has begun to drop to more pleasant levels. Many people are seen outside enjoying the weather.

66th-78th Trial

Beginning on the 66th trial, dark clouds begin to gather over the city warning of a storm to come. Thunder is heard during every break of the trial and bright streaks of iridescent lightning are seen dancing over the lake at night. After two trials of rumbling and flashes of light a heavy torrent of rain begins to fall across the city and the surrounding lands.

79th-83rd Trial

Heavy rains drench the area, sending many people indoors for shelter. The water in Lake Lovalus rises another few feet causing the nearby Zynyx River to escape it's banks and flood portions of the Stormlands. Outer-lying villages experience flooding due to the river and dozens of families are forced to abandon their homes.

84th-90th Trial


Relief washes over the people of the Stormlands as the rains finally begin to slow and the Zynyx River begins to retreat back within it's boundaries. Volunteers from the city of Rharne travel to the countryside to aid in rebuilding homes and repairing the damage.

91st-104th Trial


Life begins to return to normal as the skies clear. Warm winds from the east return just as the first stormflowers begin to bloom across the Stormlands. The humidity climbs and the water level of Lake Lovalus returns to normal.

105th-123rd Trial


The skies remain crystal clear as the Founder's Festival approaches. Locals celebrate their good fortune as the weather remains favorable and pleasant. The temperature begins to rise and humidity increases to signal the end of Ashan.

Date Event Event Details
1 The Voice News: A new Voice is elected to power to represent the people of Rharne on the Council. His name is Nathaniel Dubois, and he has no intention of letting his arc of influence go to waste. While he was elected on his platform of creating more Rharnian holidays and festivals to drive trade and tourism, his ultimate goal is far less benign…
12 Brawler’s Discount Open: All alcohol at the Bronze Boar is half-price for anyone who competes in the open fighter’s tournament on the second floor. The tournament entry fee is 5gn, with first prize being a 100gn coin purse.
27 Rynmere Rumours News: Whispers of violence and turmoil within the Kingdom of Rynmere begin to flow into the local taverns from the merchants and bards who dock on the shores of Lake Lovalus. The Emissary branch of the Thunder Priestesses is gathered in the Lightning Cathedral to be briefed on the hard anti-mage line that Rharne’s northern neighbour has taken, and several priestesses are shipped off to gather more intelligence from Rynmere and the cities who find themselves affected by Rynmere’s stance – notably, Viden and Scalvoris. Note: If you are an Emissary and wish to be assigned to this mission, please contact Rumour via PM.
33 Snake Oil Saleswoman Open: A human woman from Ne’haer, who calls herself the “Witch of the West,” arrives in Rharne and sets up shop in the Earth Market. She has a wide array of colourful concoctions for sale which promise to cure almost any ailment – for a price. Those who are either desperate or curious enough to pay, however, find themselves facing the same ailment, paired with some rather unusual side effects, three trials later. Note: Please PM Rumour if you choose to participate in this event so that you can receive your character’s side effects!
48 Aukari Scum Open: The city is sent into an anti-Faldrun uproar when news is announced that an aukari spy has been caught in the Dust Quarter. The shouting crowd quickly morphs into a mob, and a number of businesses in the Earth Quarter are damaged as the violence escalates into the night. The Lightning Knights finally regain order in the early hours of the morning, after several unlucky citizens are sent to the Infirmary with serious injuries.
54 Rynmere Refugees News: Two mages are seen practicing Defiance magic in the Earth Quarter. When asked for their proof of declaration, they are unable to provide it and are reported to the Lightning Knights by a concerned citizen. The mages are quickly detained for entering Rharne without declaring their magic. The city guard who brought them in says that they are refugees from Rynmere, and came with only the clothes on their back and a few coins in their pockets.
62 Murder in the Stormlands News: A family is found dead on their farm in the Stormlands, and the Lightning Knights are sent to investigate. Any who have information about the alleged murder are urged to contact the Knights as soon as possible. Note: If you are a Lightning Knight or mercenary and wish to be involved in this investigation, please contact Rumour via PM.
70 Mistral Mystery Moderated: Adults and children have begun going missing within Mistral Wood, contrary to the peaceful nature of the forest. Bodies have yet to be found, and the paths within the forest have begun changing as if on a whim. The nearby villagers have become terrified of the forest and have elected to forbid any locals from entering it until the mystery is solved.
89 Bad Witch News: The wild claims coming from the “Witch of the West,” along with the unusual side effects of her (mostly) ineffective concoctions attract the attention of the Thunder Priestess’ Healer branch. After an investigation, they deem her to be a fraud and report her to the Lightning Knights who promptly arrest her after she attempts to flee town. Note: If you are a Healer and wish to be involved in this investigation, please contact Rumour via PM.
93 Isle Vyrelle Moderated: Small colorful orbs of light are seen floating on the surface of Lake Lovalus. These mysterious spheres of blue and purple radiance emanate from Isle Vyrelle, where a shining white doe has been spotted patrolling the shore near dusk. It appears that the creature is searching for something or someone...
107 Scalvoris Storyteller Open: A skilled bard from Scalvoris is telling stories at The Flying Moon tavern this evening. Those who wish to hear her speak and sing should arrive early, as the tavern will be packed with curious Rharnians who want to hear more of this strange, faraway land.
115-120 Founder's Festival Open: The Founder's Festival is set up within the Glass Quarter. Stalls and tables are set for a public banquet, and a feast is held day and night for five trials of Ashan to commemorate the Immortal Ilaren and the founding history of Rharne. The Festival is complete with speakers from various factions and businesses, busker performances, storytelling, and plenty of alcohol. Local taverns also hold a variety of fighting competitions throughout the city.
