The Thaw

Year One: The Thaw

The first Shortsummer Year of every Shortsummer period is called the Thaw

The "Dying Longnight" (last year of a Longnight Period) and the Thaw see the most violent weather on Nilfeheim. It is when powerful warm storms break up the ice and clash with cold fronts.

The oceans are cauldrons of fury and only Submarines are reasonably safe.
