Between the two, there are a few fatalities - but thankfully the [[Hallow of the Green World\|potent Spring magic]] also at work in the Empire offers a degree of protection from the worst of these effects.

	A year ago, the cities of [[the League]] fell under the sway of [[Wolf in summer\|an unpleasent magical curse]]. Shortly after the Spring equinox, the same unseasonable heatwave descends - but this time, only the city of [[Tassato]] is affected. After the rains and flooding of Spring, the heat raises a great stink across the city as the mud and damp caused by the high water festers. It becomes common to see ~~men and women~~ on both sides of the river covering the lower parts of their faces with brightly coloured scarves soaked in perfume. Indeed, in some places, these practical defences against the overwhelming smell of stagnant water become fashion statements. At least the city is too damp to burn... although that is also what the wags said about [[Sarvos]].

	The heat makes people surly, and brings with it a malaise that strikes the [[Magical skills#Magician\|magicians]] in particular. Some become lethargic and restless, while others became short-tempered and aggressive. Even in its mildest form, it brings headaches, sleepless nights, and feelings of discontent and distraction.

	Over the last few years, the Empire has been assailed by many terrible [[curse\|curses]]. Responsibility for some of these malign magics has been placed at the door of the [[Dawn\|Dawnish]] [[~~Prominent_noble_houses~~#House_de_Lusignan\|House de Lusignan]], but at this time it is by no means certain precisely ''which'' curses were their doing. According to rumour, a significant number of the de Lusignan [[noble house\|nobles]] have apparently taken their own lives in a final act of defiance against the Empire... but their passing seems to have done little to reduce the number of maledictions plaguing the Empire.

	At the heart of Dawn, something stirs restlessly. Over the last month or so, something wild has uncoiled from the eastern woodlands and spread a lazy influence over the [[territory]] of Astolat. The people of Dawn are passionate, but for the last few weeks those passions have grown surprisingly hot - and unpredictable. The tempers of rival nobles have boiled over all too easily into confrontation. Many [[earl\|earls]] are forced to impose a [[Dawn_culture_and_customs#The_Test_of_Resolve\|Test of Resolve]] to provide an outlet for this unfocused anger. There have been no deaths so far - but there have been a few close calls.		At the heart of Dawn, something stirs restlessly.

	Yet the nobles do not seem to be the real targets of this peculiar influence.

There are incidents of gross insolence, rudeness, disrespect... even a few cases of ~~yeomen~~ questioning traditions that go back four hundred years.
