Weather in Otkorion

In general, the weather obviously tends towards storms and rains, the general spirit plane environment lends itself to it, as well as the general highland conditions of the lands about. The area, due to elevation, is normally colder and more humid. There is normally at least a light breeze, with stong winds frequent in the evening of all moneths other than Fire Season. Short hurricane's blow out across Otkorion from the West lasting 10 minutes or so, these are known as Umathil's Groans, and while less frequent in other seasons, they are far from unknown. The winds are weakest in the lands bordering Borin and Tinaros. Except in Fire Season the area is cold, bitterly so in Dark Season where the winds can easily become snow storms.

Those with magic sight have noticed the following weather features - not only are the lightning spirits and air spirits more noticeable, but they can see other such specialities - at the front of storm banks can often be seen horses, thundering forwards, or the Chariot of Mastakos leading the charge. In Sacred Time the Fist of St. Orlanth has said to have been seen at varying times. In winter can be heard the whispers of Valind demanding sacrifice, and society is indebted to the magic men to tell of these appeasements, for if they are not answered evil storms befall the land. Usually livestock or food is thrust into the snow, and vanishes by morning, and these keeps the unruly snow lord away.

Most weather, especially strong winds and storms, concentrate around Tempest Halls. The Stormwalk never suffers weather damage, and all in the land within the boundraries of the road are safe from catastrophic weather.

The shrines along the Stormwalk are weather shrines. Daily it becomes each shrines duty to call upon various rune magics to bring good weather - rotating through all of the shrines each day. On St. Orlanth's High Holy Day each temple participates in great rituals, creating an enormous, holy maelstrom in their country.
