[SWE] slow to start

flowerbirth Though just over half of Caido embraced the cold during Deepfrost, many did not. And so, as Flowerbirth dawns, the Eirachi seems reluctant to fully relinquish her hold on the world. Her chill isn’t biting, exactly, but it lingers in the mornings and clings to the ground long after sunrise, muting the warmth that ought to accompany the season. Perhaps that’s why Ghilio, Flowerbirth’s patron deity, seems so slow to awaken; with Deepfrost still lingering at his heels, the god of spring appears content to sleep a little longer. Plant life is sluggish this season. Buds that ought to be bursting open remain tightly furled, seeds are slow to sprout, and those flowers that do manage to bloom do so later and in far smaller numbers than expected. The cold brings dryness with it, too, and in the absence of the usual rain and new growth, something else has begun to take root across Caido. New varieties of tangleweed have appeared in every region, winding through gardens, fields, forests, and city streets alike. Hardy, stubborn, and far too enthusiastic for a plant that ought to be asleep, it seems quite determined to make the most of a Flowerbirth that can’t. Welcome to Flowerbirth 321 PC!

Encounter a tumbleweed serendipity and interact with it! 4.
