Rill

Rill is the fifth and final season of the Validian Year. It is the coldest time of the year in polar and temperate regions but is mostly nonexistent in more tropical locations.

Ecological Impact
Rill is the time of the year where animals that rely on ground vegetation, and animals that rely on ground prey will often hibernate as to avoid freezing or starving to death. The colds can vary in range from the highs of 65 degrees to the lows of -50 degrees depending on the location. The Rills become even colder in more extreme locations such as The Blistering Cold.

Economic Impact
Trade: Rill is the best time of year to sell furs, coal, and timber as they are all often used to provide warmth. However it is also one of the best times to harvest wood and quarry stone as most dangerous predators are busy hibernating - this provides an excellent chance to earn some coin.
