Kythorn was the sixth month of each year under the Arcane Calendar.
On the Aifala Continent, it was also known as the "Month of Flowers."
The reason for that was, on one hand, because June happened to fall at the end of spring and the beginning of summer on the continent, when the climate was warm, rain was plentiful, and sunlight was abundant. It was the season when many plants bloomed, one of the more lush and gorgeous times of the year, and the whole continent seemed to be covered in flowers.
On the other hand, it was also out of respect for the Goddess of Magic, Mystra.
Magic was described by Spellcasters on the Aifala Continent as something powerful, mysterious, and full of beauty, and had been linked with "flowers" since ancient times.
The release of a spell was like a flower completing its bloom, bringing its inner beauty and power into this world.
And the Weave controlled by Mystra, because it filtered magical energy for Spellcasters and made casting easier while spreading across the entire universe, was poetically described as a grand megastructure formed from countless glowing, filament-like lines of energy, like an unimaginably vast and strange flower blooming eternally.
It was precisely because of this that Mystra became the guardian deity of June, symbolizing that the power of magic reached a prominent and easily accessible state during this month.
Of course, for the vast majority of ordinary people on the Aifala Continent, the "Month of Flowers" was nothing more than a name. Very few people would take the initiative to explore its origins.
Irrigating, weeding, driving away pests, and hoping for a good harvest in autumn were all they could do during this month.
For the Adventurers in River Valley Town, it was much the same.
