On a more serious note, it's worth noting that there is a very noticeable difference in the sun when there's is a fire nearby (likely a sign of battle as well).

Those who live near wildfire prone areas should be able to confirm.

For example, see this image that a user posted here:

Edit: It's hard to capture it in a photo, but the sun itself becomes a very noticeable deeper shade of red when seen through smoke.
