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 [[Stormfather]] sent a highstorm to oppose it.{{book ref|sa2|83}} This caused the regular pattern of the Weeping to be altered.
