    The Season of Growing
    Religious event

    After Alella's birth marked the season of Seeding, everyone began planting their crops during the same time to take advantage of the increased fertility magic of the season. This led to the vast majority of planted crops growing during the same time period, which was an unforeseen risk for if there were bouts of drought, then there were not other cycles of crops to make up for the loss in food. Farmers began praying to Oasca during this time for rain to grow their crops. She graciously answered, creating a new reliably rainy season, dubbed the season of Growing in her honor.
