Autumn, the season of reaping and harvests, is the time of Abundance. Constonia was the bread-basket of Nadiria. Without the Argentinean plantation, Nadiria would quickly fail. So, it was natural to glorify the agricultural life of Constonia, and imbue it with idyllic properties. This is part of the Church's whole idealization of Nature, almost to the point of worship. The reverse features a barrel of Heaven's Fire chemical, aptly embodying the essence of Need, as Nadiria was utterly dependent on the outside world
for its most basic needs, including heat and light. The note suggests that to prevent Need, one must plan ahead, store, and manage one's resources with Wisdom and Self-Control.
