A Distraction
With summer drawing to a close and temperatures still far warmer than usual, there has been no respite for the Xanadu region. With nearly no rain to speak of, many of the more delicate crops are in short supply, and variety is a luxury at the Weyr. Heat lightning is a constant sight on the horizon, sparking worries for many about its effect on the dry grasslands to the southeast.
