The Dim Sun

The epitome of full, unbridled heat, the Dim Sun is too dull to be seen by day but gives off a reddish glow by night. This generous body is the source of all atmospheric heat, and as it makes its yearly voyage around the world it ushers in the changing of the seasons on its 144-day cycle. As it rises in the borealis it brings Spring to the world, then as it enters its zenith it provides us with a warm Summer season. As it slowly sets in the austral sky, we experience the season of Sunfall, until the night of Autumn’s Eve when the Dim Sun sets and its companion, the Winter Wanderer, rises and follows the same path. We then have Autumn, Winter, and Hibern, until finally the Winter Wanderer sets and the Dim Sun rises again for us.
