Description summary:
The description will vary based on the current status of the World Qualities.
 Direction of the Rat-Wind: | First Snippet |
|---|---|
| East | The unseen Rat-Wind is in the east; time is shorter this season! Look to your wrists! |
| South | The unseen Rat-Wind is in the south. Eyes above! Protection recommended. |
| West | The unseen Rat-Wind is in the west. Be vigilant. Ensure you do not go unarmed about your business. |
| North | The unseen Rat-Wind is in the north. Be wary of deep places underfoot. Best step with care. |
 Phase of the Rat-Moon: | Second Snippet |
|---|---|
| Runny | However, the hidden Rat-Moon is runny, they say. Best make sure your feet aren't damp. |
| Soft | However, the hidden Rat-Moon is soft, they say. Soft as skin and pink as a gentlerat's paw. |
| Hard | However, the hidden Rat-Moon is hard, they say. Cover your shame. |
| Blue | However, the hidden Rat-Moon is blue, they say. Hide your crown, lest it go the same way. |
 The Rat-Season: | Third Snippet |
|---|---|
| Freeze-and-Fall | This is to be expected in the secret Rat-Season of Freeze-and-Fall. Stay indoors! Don't look up! Light a fire in your bones! |
| Lying-Longing | This is to be expected in the secret Rat-Season of Lying-Longing. Dream, but not too deeply. Some things abed are swifter to waking than you. |
| Candle-Canker | This is to be expected in the secret Rat-Season of Candle-Canker. Flint and tinder can light the sky above: but to what end? |
| Wink-and-Wane | This is to be expected in the secret Rat-Season of Wink-and-Wane. Something stirs in the above; the glass is restless too. Give them all a wink and go your way. Pray they go theirs. |
| Vial-Vane | This is to be expected in the secret Rat-Season of Vial-Vane. Ennoble all rats; tilt all spines. In dreams we shall be free again. |
| Take-and-Toil | This is to be expected in the secret Rat-Season of Take-and-Toil. The Saint of Rats was overly liberal in such a season. That's why they don't have a head anymore. |
| Wine-Whisper | This is to be expected in the secret Rat-Season of Wine-Whisper. Listen at the wainscoting, but not too much. Secrets can be drunk. In some places they can be sipped. Crimson places. |
| Rise-and-Rake | This is to be expected in the secret Rat-Season of Rise-and-Rake. Be industrious! The clever rat is one who knows her way. |
| Nitre-Knife | This is to be expected in the secret Rat-Season of Nitre-Knife. Deep in the earth we go, where things spark and ignite. |
| Kifer-Caitiff | This is to be expected in the secret Rat-Season of Kifer-Caitiff. Sing your sorrow, but quietly. You never know who's listening. The tunnels have ears still unclogged! |
| Skitter-Scatter | This is to be expected in the secret Rat-Season of Skitter-Scatter. But scatter whence? Freedom is for dreamers and such tales as they can wake to tell. |
| Dimmest-Dark | This is to be expected in the secret Rat-Season of Dimmest-Dark. There was a Dimmest-Darkest once. Pray to the Saint there shall not be again. |
