Jaromir explains the theological underpinnings of how the sun impacts and impacted by the seasons.
"Why does the sun goddess allow the nights to get shorter in the winter time when we most need warmth? That is a good question, young one."
by Me with Hero Forge
is the goddess of law and order and the sun. The Lady of Light is well known for wanting everything to be in its proper place and time and for everything to be organized and predictable and to some extant, symmetrical.
It is counter intuitive that nights get longer in the winter time and days get longer in the summer time. A Khemra-centric sky would have twelve hours of daylight and twelve hours of night 365 days a year. The moon is actually far more consitent than the sun despite the moon god Zarthus being more chaotic and unpredictable than Khemra. So why are things as they are?
The power of the Nine is far beyond our understanding, but it is not limitless. All of the Nine, Khemra included have their power diminished somewhat around the time of the
Winter Stellar Day and increased somewhat around the time of the
Summer Stellar Day.
Every day, Khemra uses a percentage of her mighty power to make sure the sun rises and climbs across the sky warming Scarterra before it sets. Don't ask me if this takes 1% of her power, 10% of her power or 80% of her power. I do not know. I do know that Khemra uses the same portion of her strength every single day towards this noble task. During the summer months, Khemra has more total power so whatever fraction of her power she uses, Khemra wields a fraction of a larger number during the summer, so the days are warmer and longer.
