As counterpoint to yesterday, today’s ConWorkShop theme is Midsummer words. On the Eastern Seaboard of Ruñosañe, the largest continent on Rireinu, where Haru, the capital, is located, tave or Wet Season falls around Summer Solstice, so the middle of the year is the season of rains. Obviously I then had to coin the word for Winter Solstice as well.
