"The death of the year" is another term for midwinter.

Does this mean that there will be snow?

Ehhh, maybe. I don't trust this place at all, though--I bet it's implying something much nastier.

[fireworksntea]

Snow all over the rooms is uncomfortable.

[itsthemooksquad]

Why do you always say stuff that is completely unrelated to what the quetion is?!

[fireworksntea]

You said that snow would not be nasty.

[wayward_sam]

Snow wouldn't be so bad, really, but I think it's a bit early to bury us all under ten feet of snow. I'm more concerned about the words bit.

[fireworksntea]

The mansion can do it.

Why?

[wayward_sam]

I don't doubt it can. I just don't think it will. Not yet, anyway.

Words, whether spoken or left unsaid, can contain a whole lot of power. They're the root of name magic, which is one of the more powerful magics in existence.

In your world.

Who calls it that?

That's a horrible term for it! Snow is really awesome!

[fireworksntea]

England. I stems from Celtic times.

[idkmybfftony]

Well, that doesn't surprise me. England hates everything that could remotely be fun.

[fireworksntea]

Snow is cold.

The time between midwinter and New year is said to be the time of the witches.
