Southern Plains: Lumina Stewards IV

Week 4 – The Equinox Unveiled

Day 22 - Floodgate Opening
Location: Northern irrigation cut
Weather: Heavy morning mist, warming noon

Observations:
Floodgates were partially opened to release controlled water surges. Skinks rode the currents, driving pests from root hollows. Minimal terrace damage observed.

Brief Notes:
“Water carries both remedy and risk.”

Day 23 - Prismhorn Convergence
Location: Crystal terrace ridge
Weather: Clear, strong midday glare

Observations:
Herds of Prismhorn Antelope gathered near mineral licks, refracting sunlight into the terraces. Their presence marked a stabilizing surge; pest activity decreased by evening.

Brief Notes:
“Horns like prisms, scattering the season into order.”

-

Day 24 - Radiant Spire Resonance
Location: Ley-line ridge east
Weather: Steady breeze, mild heat

Observations:
Stewards conducted a controlled resonance sweep through Radiant Spires. Harmonic vibrations disoriented remaining swarms, forcing retreat to deeper soils.

Brief Notes:
“The plains answered in song.”

-

Day 25 - Dual-Sun Equinox
Location: Central terraces and amphitheater
Weather: Balanced light, twin suns aligned

Observations:
Grand Equinox Ceremony held. Water channels redirected; Bloomridge vines released spores in perfect synchrony. Pest remnants flushed downstream; Riverwhisks followed, whiskers alight.

Brief Notes:
“A season turns not in silence, but in chorus.”

-

Day 26 - Aftermath Survey
Location: Southern moss plains
Weather: Warm with distant rain haze

Observations:
Post-ceremony survey revealed new moss growth and stabilized terraces. Stewards marked future watchpoints and began seedling redistribution.

Brief Notes:
“The land breathes again, but not without scars.”

-

Day 27 - Departure Preparations
Location: Lumina Steward’s outpost
Weather: Light overcast, cooling dusk

Observations:
Records compiled for council archives; offerings placed at dusk for Duskveil Stalkers. Caravans prepared for southern crossing.

Brief Notes:
“The plains recede, leaving both lesson and promise.”
