The Long Summer of Elancil is a Steel Realms Timeline Event; Prevalent recorded knowledge.
CY 9000 The Summer That Would Not End
In the spring of 9000, a sweet wind sweeps from the heartlands in Fahyl and it is the most fertile year in a hundred years. The Summer lasts nearly 55% longer than normal, tapering off into a few weeks of Fall, then Winter. Soon after this, the Curtain of Night retreats slightly, eventually regaining its place, but the raiding in the lands of light halves overnight. It tapers off to next to nothing over the next couple years and the pattern of the curtain fluctuating and the Darklands going silent lasts four decades, continuing into present time.
Elancil claims the long summer as her own. She and her followers take credit for the odd persisting effects that holds The Curtain of Night at bay… or at least the Orrish in the Dark Lands grow quiet. Although there is no unified ‘ask’ by her, the expansion of Gwinn in the north is somewhat ignored by the High King. He tries to enjoin their leaders in diplomacy, though it is mostly to delay hostilities more than anything else. It is believed that ultimately, it is to gather strength and solidify alliances in the face of an expansionist vision.
