BLISTERING SUMMER - HEAT WAVES OF THE SILENT EXPANSE

Year 2012, of Leo ♌︎

---

The summer of 2012 began early and extended well beyond its usual timeframe. Temperatures were averaging at around 40 celsius in the day with peaks beyond 50 celsius. During this period, sightings of the Summer Wolf Asena were supposedly widespread. 

It culminated in the conjuration of a fiery spirit of Asena, a Red Wolf, on the edges of the desert region. This escalating source of heat spread rapidly and within days the anomaly gathered the interests of magi across the country, all soon making the journey out to confront the source of the magical disturbance that boiled Meranthe. With the defeat of the chaotic flaming wolf, the passage of the seasons seemed to return to normalcy. Perhaps it was the actions of the Divine Spirit Asena that gathered the heat in one form to make a target and avoid complete catastrophe. 

But like all hasty 'solutions', it is not without its consequences, if such was the case. A new magical illness has emerged dubbed 'Red Psychosis' that is prevalent within fire magi. Outbreaks of violence and heinous acts committed by pyromancers is on a sharp rise. Effects of the illness include: pyromania, heightened attunement with fire magic, glowing orange eyes, loss of touch with reality / delusions, passive fever, violence to all (often inc. allies & friends). At the peak of the ailment the inflicted person seems to have a near constant desire to set fire to everything around them.
