So the Blind Hour.

So the Blind Hour.

So the Blind Hour. Help me out. There are fragments of the old sun in the sky that light up at dawn and at twilight, right? I thought that it is a cool visual, but later I read about the fog that descends on the city at that time. It is so strong that people see actually less than at “night”.

Is the sun visible at all or does it dissolve in the fog creating a white ambient light that blinds all the people that are accustomed to living in the dark?

Second, kind of followup question: Do people see much better in darkness?

There is a mechanical example of sniping from a distance that grants you controlled position and a great effect. I imagine that it had to be somewhat lit but in the real world sniping at night would be considered harder than controlled and great. Wait. Was it the big moon? How bright is the moon or the triple moon?

  3. You are right, silly me 😉 Let me refraze the questions then.

    How does your Blind Hour look?

    Do people see better in darkness?

    How much light the moons provide at your table?

    1) The sun’s tidal effects pull fog in from either the death-lands or the ocean during the Blind Hours, creating the thick miasma over the city.

    2) No, but between moonlight, starlight, and the faintest remnants of sunlight, it’s not much of an issue even far from other light sources. In truly dark situations people are just as bad at seeing as normal (I’d wager most people are used to the dark and prefer to keep lights dim even inside. Maybe places like Silkshore and Nightmarket are considered scandalous for how bright they are?).

    3) Enough that they’ve replaced the sun, but can’t support more than feeble plants (only fungi can be grown without lamplight) and the brightest days look like a cloudy days in the real world.

    Though again, it’s all up to you. That’s just how I’d handle those questions if they came up in play.
