Is there any more detail to be had on how Broyan died?

There are several statements on that including the use of Lunar magic or sorcery by Tatius.

GS p.39 probably the most detailed: "In Kethaela, King Broyan marched north with a small army. Among the Kitori, a little bright light was snuffed out, and a demon that had many sharp mouths was let out of its skin. It sought vengeance, and fell upon the army of King Broyan while they slept. The king could not keep it away, because he had betrayed the City of Wonders, and the Great King was killed there, with his army."

There is nothing more detailed. Whether it means the Lunars summoned a demon within Broyan's camp, or released a demon to pursue Broyan because he broke his vow, or other option is pretty much up to the GM to decide. But Broyan killed and much of his army is destroyed by it.  One option for the demon is the Black Eater - I particularly like to envision the figure from the Gods War.

Hi Jeff, just wanted to ask about the Rainfall on the chart. It's listed as cm/days, but it looks more like a low/high range. I know it's only a draft, is this a typo and should be low/high? (and thank you BTW, this is excellent stuff!!)     @Jeff

It means 8 cm of rain spread over 8 days where rain occurs (for instance looking at early Fireseason).  It's not a low/high range.  However, it does represent average, so could vary.

Thanks, i was wondering if it was low/high range in cm over the season.

Because in Late Fire Season it's 5cm over 6 days which is 0.83 cm/day. Then in Early Sea Season where i would think it's more wet, it's 15cm over  20 days which is 0.75cm/day... so it's more rain in Fire season than in Sea Season (understood all averages), which very well may be the case. Anyway, that's what got me curious, not critical, merely curious... (i'm doing scenarios in this area which concerns rain).

It means that the rainy days in Fire Season are more likely to be brief storms which dump a lot of rain, while the Sea Season days are more like overcast days with a lot of drizzle. More rain falls overall during Early Sea Season (15 cm) than in either Early or Late Fire Season (8 cm and 5 cm, respectively).

Good explanation of frequency, it paints a good picture (i think it's me not knowing how to read these). For overall rain, would it be safe to say for example, Sea Season gets a total of 30cm of rain for the season, Fire Season gets a total of 13cm for the season, etc. (These are just the cm numbers for Early and Late season added up). The reason why i ask is, i'm looking at salt pans on the coast, so harvesting can't be when it's raining a lot.

Bear in mind that this is the weather for Durengard which is up on the plateau, and somewhat sheltered in the river valley, not the coastal flats. The flats are going to get more rain, more fog, more overcast as the winds sweep in from the southwest across the Mirrorsea. There will also be more storms to the east as the clouds climb up the Storm Mountains and hit the desert winds of the Storm Bull.  Particularly true in Stormseason, so expect wild swings of weather then - snowstorms as northern winds hit moist winds, etc.

There is no current overall ruler. Rikard Tiger-hearted took the title of King of New Malkonwal, but with his capture and subsequent disappearance, the area was briefly under Lunar military governors (outside of Bandori). Once the Lunars left, it's fallen largely onto local rulers. 

I bet Rikard is being held for ransom by the Lunars, but the local lords are keeping that quiet and refusing to pay so as to maintain their power.

Hopefully a hero will arise who can unite the diverse peoples of New Malkonwal and free their King...FamousDucks4.jpg.1cd3e8c5e0d62849f68a8b5
