Season Storms

In the Realm of Racedis, time passes differently. The idea of a "year" - a recurring cycle of seasons - is entirely unknown. Rather, seasons pass through territories like massive storms, tumbling around the landscape and one another like sand in a bowl.

Passing Time
These storms truly are seasons: they are storms that bring with them the passage of time. People of Racedis mark their age by seasons, and a person you'd call 10 years old would be said to have "seen 40 seasons". Generally, this passes without notice, but there are some oddities that emerge in narrow cases. An area that has endured many season storms passing through will see its people and places aging more quickly. Likewise, season storms have been known to get stuck on very rare occasions, causing everything that stays within to experience a nearly imperceptible stasis of time; in such a place, life may appear normal, but nothing ages or decays, and things have a strange way of staying just the same.
