# Evergale - February : Olvrida, the Celestial Seer

Evergale is the Hallowmere name for the month of February.

It is the second month of the year, a time when winter has not yet released its hold, but the first signs of change can be felt in the air. The nights remain long, the roads remain cold, and the winds often move across the land with a strange persistence, as though carrying messages from places too distant to name.

Evergale is associated with Olvrida, the Celestial Seer.

Olvrida is the deity of stars, prophecy, visions, guidance, and truths seen from afar. Where Noxvar watches what is hidden in darkness, Olvrida looks beyond the present moment, reading the patterns of the heavens and the quiet movements of fate. Her presence during Evergale reflects the belief that the second month is not only a time of endurance, but a time of watching for signs of what is coming.

In many parts of Hallowmere, Evergale is considered a month of omens. People may study the stars more carefully, record unusual dreams, listen to the wind, or seek meaning in repeated signs. A raven’s silence, an owl’s cry, a ring around the moon, or a sudden shift in the weather may all be treated as something worth remembering.

Those who honor Olvrida during Evergale often do so beneath the night sky. Some light pale candles near windows. Others leave bowls of water outside to reflect the stars, believing that still water may catch messages the eye alone would miss. In certain regions, children are taught the names of constellations during this month, while elders speak of old prophecies and warnings written in the sky.

Evergale is also a month of preparation. Farmers, travelers, temple keepers, and sworn orders may begin planning for the seasons ahead. They do not act blindly. They watch, listen, compare signs, and seek guidance before stepping into the year’s first true changes.

Evergale reminds the people of Hallowmere that not every truth is buried below. Some are written above. Some arrive on the wind. Some are seen only by those patient enough to look beyond the storm.
