Category:Season: Difference between revisions

The changing of the seasons is usually marked by a cycle of ever earlier sunrises and ever later sunsets beginning immediately after the winter solstice and ending with the summer solstice, and a cycle of ever later sunrises and ever earlier sunsets beginning immediately after the summer solstice and ending with the winter solstice. The summer solstice then has the shortest night and the longest day, and the winter solstice has the longest night and the shortest day. Summer is often held to begin at the summer solstice, and winter correspondingly at the winter solstice. Each is often held to end at the equinox, when the length of the day and the night are equal. Thus spring equinox marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring, and the autumn equinox marks the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. The seasons in Barovia are known to follow this pattern, Azalin timing some of his experiments to correspond to the solstices. Factures, reaching from the Shadow Rift, into neighbouring lands, and even as far as Liffe, are also said to include among their trigger events the equinox and the solstice. {{Spec | So it may be conclued that the seasons follow this pattern throughout the Core.} It is no evidences to suggest that the length of time between a given sunrise and sunset, say at the summer solstice, differences as one travels to the northern or southern ends of the Core. The intensity of heat in summer and of cold in winter, and degree to which temperature varies generally across the seasons, are not uniform across the lands and seas of the Core. Recurrent weather patterns, beyond those of temperature, may also contribute to the marking of the seasons. spring and fall may features days of rain at a time or frequent storms. thunderstorms may be uncommon in anything but summer. Equally, in lands where freezing temperature are common, many types of trees will shed their levaves in anticipation of winter and growth them back in announcement of spring. A notable exception to the above, at least to a degree, is Vecchor where the described patterns may hold sways for years at a time only be reversed, jumbled, or even wholly suspended for an indefinite length of time. Beyond the Core, the season ma
