'''The Half-Turned''' ('''The Anticyclone''', '''The Cycle-of-Seasons''', '''The Impatient Act''') is the feral eleventh Hour of the Second Fansus, represented by Death. It's reveal was during emerged from Sea-Of-Mists in an inverse to the [[The PartisanKnife's Edge]]'s siege, but its Names were reported to have revealed themselves at earlier dates, making the hour's birth heavily disputed. Some claim it to be a cousin of and [[The Storm-Tossed]] and [[The Knife's Edge]]; that it was born when [[The GoldsmithHunter]]'s ’s corpse and [[The Bright TapestryInk]]'s lingering might ’s tears mingled with the bed of the Sea-Of-Mists. Others say it was born when the early casualties man’s memory of the invasion were swept into the sea, or from the disposal of the unworthy or unwanted in the Mist. Some even claim it to be a lost God-From-Stone, or the Subsumption. It waits watching beneath the waves, watching gazing upon the storm with interest and impatience. Its aspects are [[:Category:Winter (Vol. II)|Winter]], [[:Category:Forge Moth (Vol. II)|ForgeMoth]], and [[:Category:Moth Forge (Vol. II)|MothForge]]. It rules over  The Half-Turned ushers in greater tension and higher stakes with every wingbeat, fanning the escalation flames of conflicts conflict towards an abrupt and their abrupt conclusionsbeautiful conclusion. It ends the every journey to usher in the nextmake room for those that must follow.

===Appearance===Usually depicted as an old wild turkey with massive wings emerging from a vast gray sea. Sometimes depicted with a circus or theater rising alongside it.===Principles===The Half-Turned is not counted as an hour of Forge and WinterEdge, clearing away but before it left the old to make way for the newsea it could have been. The old, in this case, refers to the conflicts that have refused to progress, Its might cannot be denied or have failed to amuse itcontrolled. Its It’s endings are as indifferent as they are catastrophic. They can be avoided only Only by appealing to the Moth that heralds its arrival, longing for fresh conflict to can the wind beating of its wings raising the stakes, by progressing the conflict at handbe postponed.

It is the Hour of restlessness and the changing of stories. It is a patron of actors, but not of play-writes. Its favor is an unpredictable power for all orders and movements. No story can stay fresh forever. No Likewise, no establishment, or movement, can stay in its favor forever. When unrest persist but fail to usurp, who the Half-Turned favors rests solely in who entertains it best, and even then it will tire of both eventually. Where [[The Storm-Tossed]] lingers, the sound of its wings can be heard. Where its gales near their peak, [[The Knife's-Edge]] soars. Round and Round and Round they fly.
