IIRC the previous winter was fairly mild which contributes to most folks not being concerned about it.

The Long Night was supposed to have lasted a generation, and affected places as far south as Yi Ti (the world’s China analog). It was an exceptional event that is remembered thousands and thousands of years later. Sounds like a nuclear winter to me.
I’d just like to see that world’s solar system and orbits, so that I could understand their seasons that endure for many revolutions.
I suspect you’ll find them similar to our own, and that the anomalies are caused by magic, not orbital mechanics.
I don’t want magic! I want orbital dynamics! :mad:
Well, that’s unsatisfying.
You’re complaining about the presence of magic in a high fantasy series?
Ah, c’mon man - it’s medium fantasy at best ;).
Or “hung over with a pounding headache” fantasy. I very rarely feel “high” when reading it.
