Today's outlook across Veloris.
Harbor mist on the headland
A low silver mist is sliding past the eastern cape without obscuring the beacon.
Open sun over Emberhearth
The island is bright and settled, with a gentle breeze crossing the shore and slopes.
Bright ice over the frontier
Clear light is catching the old ice and throwing pale reflections across the settlement.
Bright refraction in the cliff
The exposed crystal seams are scattering violet light across the lower workshops.
Low fog in Sylvaren
Pale fog is pooling between the roots while the main forest path remains visible.
High clarity around the spire
The grassland air is exceptionally clear from the lower ramps to the upper platforms.
A cloudbank at garden height
A soft bank of cloud is passing the lower bridges and mossy aqueducts.
That's our morning edition. Take care of each other, and leave a little room for a surprise.
