Hârn Venârivè Appendix XVII Weather
A comprehensive list of Hârn articles to Create Wiki Pages for whole article. With seperate Indexes for REF points on other pages.
Note: ADD Top 10 WEIRD Facts About Medieval CASTLES an expansion on the term Castle, from various languages. Good example of why it's confusing and less defined in English. Also see The Castles Time Forgot for examples of Wooden and less grandioss Castles.

Note: Section linking with arbitrary id USE <span id="anchor_name"></span>. Be sure to use a name that is not likely to be duplicated. One way to do this is to incorporate the titles of the higher-level sections, at least in abbreviated form, e.g., Ontario-Natural_features for the "Natural features" subsection of the "Ontario" section of an article about the provinces of Canada.

Appendix XVII: Weather
Note: Venârivè 217 to 232
- Venârivè 217
Weather is complicated to simulate accurately. Over an area as large as that covered by Venârivè there are far too many climate zones and local weather patterns to sum up in any reasonable number of charts or lookup tables.
We have, however, provided base weather charts for the major climate zones, and some exemplar ‘location-specific’ weather charts. We plan to provide more such charts for important locations, and include them in future publications.
Approaches to determining the weather
There are several approaches to determining the appropriate weather.
Gamemaster determines the weather
The Gamemaster is the final arbiter of the weather at any particular location or time. The Gamemaster may chose to use the tools provided here, in part or as a whole, but may simply determine the weather required by plot or story. If the story requires that it rains, then it should rain.
Gamemasters can also make use of the precipipation layers on the Venârivè map in determining weather results in this manner.
Use the base weather charts
The base weather charts provide a reasonable approximation of the weather conditions across the broad climate zones. They are, of course, imperfect, as they do not (by themselves) take account of local conditions. But as a guide to Gamemaster decision making, they are certainly useful.
Use a location-specific weather chart
We have included four examples of location-specific weather charts in this publication - one for Ázadmêre, one for Énselet in Shôrkýnè, one for the region around Isýnen on the northern coast of Hèpekéria, and one for the city of Ubárian in Tríerzòn.
Future publications will include additional location specific charts, and we will make others available for download.
Develop a location-specific weather chart
Finally, we also plan to provide Gamemasters with the tools to develop their own ‘location-specific’ charts, using a range of optional rules. This will be available as a download from Kelestia.com.
It is entirely up to each Gamemaster and gaming group which approach they take to determining the weather in Venârivè. We hope we have provided sufficient options to meet the needs of all groups.
