A Tempest

In terms of the weather, I fear I haven't done my setting justice.



It's a tiny moon hovering around a vast gas giant, with many other moons all around it. It has sixteen different seasons, based on how the sun shines on its and how much its planet parent gets in the way, over the course of a good thirty years. And all those moons and planets are most assuredly going to wreak havoc with the tides.

And so far my writings haven't explored almost any of it. The Straggler's Mask has a couple weather-related hazards, but the next two take place almost entirely outside of the concept (one of them mostly underwater!), and then the next one is all in the single hellishly-cold period of riftwinter. It doesn't do much with the concept.



I believe I shall fix this matter. I will write something all about weather. All about the winds, the storms, the lunar tides, the eclipses, the sun, and the bizarre unnatural chaos of it all. It would have to take place over the course of twenty years, at minimum, so it would also make for an opportunity to see how the characters and the world develop in long term.

Should be fun.
