Within Aurenloch, Heat Spikes are one of the Forces of the Earth, a volatile trial that strikes without warning, threatening to flash-fry the labor of an entire season in a single afternoon. It is defined by the frantic race to shield the delicate from the sun, the struggle of the cells to keep their composure, and the risk of vital essences turning to sugar and ash before their time.

It is a reminder that in the face of overwhelming power, survival depends on the strength of one’s shade and the depth of one's reserves.
