A quill reporter busies themselves this Winter season, putting something unique out in the middle of the boring headlines.

 

Threats to Meranthe: Blotting out the Sun

---

The highlight of the past few months has been the discourse surrounding Grey Aundeoth's
plan to obfuscate the sun so he might 'distill fragments from the dark' and bring a night that is 'calm and gentle.'

    

"B-Blub, blub, blub-- well! If you turned off turned off the sun, especially near the sea,
firstly all their plants are going to die!" The anglerfish mermaid and fisherman Merlina Lighthook reveals.
     
"And then they're all going to starve, but the ones that aren't going to starve
are going to get exceptionally chilly, and lots of fish are going to freeze! You can't just knit them little scarves!"

     

Sailors report of mass casualties in the farer oceans, and observe mass migrations of schools of fish. One such vessel, donning the 'black sun' symbol, had sailors which confessed with dubious impartiality: "Yeeep. Everything died or moved, mate. It's tragic!"

     

In the country of Viritas it is said there has been a sudden influx of paintings depicting the eclipse,
some depicting apocalyptic events with others depicting serene nights and the sound of oblivion.
      
The highest selling painting so far is 'Don't turn off the sun', selling at a glorious 700,000c.

      

"Well, lots of animals are going to get confused when the day-night cycle turns into a night-night-night cycle. A bunch of classic predators like eagles and wolves are gonna struggle to get their fill, especially in the winter months," Joe Direwolf admits, chewing on a delicious leaf.
      
"Yeah, it's rough. But there's always cannibalism."
