Spring Omens: A Narrative Analysis

Some seasons carry more than weather. This one carries return.

Spring Omens: A Narrative Analysis is a system-agnostic tool for fantasy roleplaying. It treats spring as something that arrives with weight. When the season turns, the world begins to move in quiet ways. People remember things they hadn’t forgotten. Stories reach for what’s next.

This book helps you recognize spring as a narrative event. Use it in any setting where the season carries meaning, whether it signals change, return, growth, or the moment before all of those. The focus is on presence, emotion, and memory.
