❖ MOON CYCLE 50 ❂ 01/18/11 - 01/24/11
Phase: 3/4 waning. Only a small quarter-sliver of the moon remains in the sky.

Weather: The dry cold continues with the harsh winds whistling through the streets. Most sane men and women are happy to seek sanctuary from the cold in their warm homes. The snow has stopped entirely, and the sky is a calm, gray overcast. Despite the cold, some of the ice appears to have retreated... or perhaps the ice has been redirected for other purposes.

Effects: No other effects other than what is noted below.

Notes: There are a few notes for this round, and we're building up to a pretty momentous and dark event.

• The ice, for the most part, has retreated. Broad patches of ice still remains, and here and there is a frozen tree or a frozen segment of stream. Overall, though, the ice has greatly diminished throughout Somni and Espoir. For the ice that remains, though, watch out - it's all black ice and nearly invisible to the average eye. Walking and getting around may be a lot easier, but tread cautiously nonetheless.
• The mountain is frozen in place. Even though the ice around the town and city is mostly gone, it's probably because the ice has been redirected by an unseen and unknowable force. The floating mountain can no longer be considered 'floating.' Instead, the black ice has arced up from the ground and grabbed ahold of it, locking it into place over the old sink hole where the floating castle once disappeared. How ominous!
• Ice damage. It is possible to attack the ice. In fact large chunks will fall away if enough force is used. However, like before the ice will slowly begin to reform again. Due to its size and volume, the process seems slower than before. But there is a lot of it, and it's otherwise rather resilient. Attack it all you want, but it cannot be completely destroyed.
  
  
• Teleporter pads broken. The teleporter pads that are usually used to get to the mountain will not function. The only way up there is to fly.
  
  
• Plants and wildlife are withered and dead. There is little to no wildlife to be seen around Somarium, and any grass that has reemerged in the ice's disappearance is brown, shriveled, and dead.
• Another dream! This is the second in a series of shared dreams this month. This time the Overlord has made an illustrious appearance. Does she mean for people to come to her despite the portentous signs looming overhead?

This week is the last week of calm before the storm, and a large event will kick into gear next Monday. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to comment below, as always.
