The gloaming comes quick at this time of year, but I think it is my favourite time of year for experiencing it. During the Windstrom, it comes on all too quickly, before you even notice. It this time of year, just around the vernal equinox, the gloaming takes a little longer before it turns into full on murknight, it lasts for many moments, and that allows the creatures of the gloaming to make more of a presence, they flit and float about and you'll hear their growls and grunts as they make the most out of the final glimpses of the murklight. It is at this time of year that the magic of The Dark Peak is at its greatest natural strength, now is the time to practise spells and mysticism, if only I knew some -- yet I do have access (and copies) of the milting's semagrams -- the ones that I don't know what they do, not just the one that opens The hinge. Now is the time of year to be reciting those incantations. Why do I feel that now? or why do I know that? call it intuition. I'm going out to feel the gloaming now. The screetch-chatter of a pied corvid -- raptors of The Dark Peak, the laughter of a scrufftail as it raids a nest of ashpeeps, the coo of rooterwings, the hoot of the flatface, the yelp of barkers and the odd slyfluff, the flitter-flutter of the Backflit.
