While you have returned the vilage much has changed. All around you people are in a panic, the local clerics give surmons in the streats trying to calm people, the population of this small town has grown significantly too.
All around the town square have apeared groups of people at the center of each a sorcerer(though a few doubtful wizards seem to be there too), they do their best to shout over the cleric "The magic! So much of it concentrated over the capital!" and similar warnings ring in your ears.
Through all this the eclipse continues to hold it's place in the sky.
