      Widespread droughts across Candarion!

      As part of the current Lore Ministry's initiative to provide more regular lore prompts and events, we'll start off with this widespread weather event. A small prize will be awarded to the Lore Ministry's favorite submission! A 'solid' written submission would be around 200 words, and images or other types of content are quite welcome!

      Timeline: New Life -> Heat's Rise of 29 SC

      Tell us about the effects the drought is having on current events in your realm.

      First prize: Trophy Cookie, perfect tool
      Second and Third: Trophy Cookie
      Submissions end: February 10, 2020 Midnight CST (prize deadline, feel free to participate after if you don't care about the prizes!)

                      Thanks to all who participated!

                      In 3rd place: ic__, with a herd of dead cattle

                      In 2nd place: Sebastian, who provided a unique view on the haves vs the have-nots

                      And finally, in 1st place: Sir Jon, showing us the chaos that drought inflicts on a desert society.

                      All of the submissions were top quality, and the judging mostly came down to my raw gut reaction to the story told.
