== The Weird Weeping ==
The Weeping between the years 1173/1174 was markedly different from the usual, owning to the [[Battle of Narak]], which took place two days before the Lightday.{{book ref|sa2|50}} Even before the battle began, people noted unusually strong winds, far in excess of what could normally be expected.{{book ref|sa2|80}} During the fighting, the [[listener]]s summoned the [[Everstorm]], while the [[Stormfather]] sent a highstorm to oppose it.{{book ref|sa2|83}} This caused the regular pattern of the Weeping to be altered.
Elsewhere in the world, the Weeping stopped, then started, then stopped again.{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} The out-of-pattern highstorm arrived during that time without warning, leading to only some spheres capturing [[Stormlight]].{{book ref|sa2.5|6}} The Everstorm came a few days later, throwing people off further.{{book ref|sa2.5|19}} What followed was a period of drought that lasted until {{Rosharan date|1174|1|4|2}}, when the highstorm returned.{{book ref|sa3|22}} Overall, the strange non-Weeping lasted seven days longer than a regular one.
