The risk of enchanted sleep has always been part of life in Vatheon. There is no way to predict its onset, nor its duration. Normally it runs its course in a matter of weeks. Gracia once slept for two months.

As for what you have missed... this month a battle between gods took place. Yet more interesting were the consequences of their battle. The damage done to the island's surface gave us foreigners access to one of the local scientists' research facilities. It was emptied out before they abandoned it, but even a bare shell holds information.

Moreover, the damage lead to the return of Thalassino, Vatheon's high priestess.
