RANDOM EVENT [0/5 XP] Posted on May 5, 2026 at 09:38:36 PM by pippa
To all visitors and residents of the Dunes: a severe drought has struck the territory. All riverbeds have dried and the oases have been reduced to mere puddles in the sand. The lack of consistently accessible water, combined with high temperatures, can quickly lead to dehydration, lethargy, loss of appetite, or more serious conditions such as heat stroke or colic. Foals and the sick or elderly are at increased risk for dehydration, and nursing mothers may see a significant decrease in their milk supply while the drought is occurring which may lead to foals becoming malnourished. Wells may be dug into the sand to reach groundwater, a process that is long and exhaustive especially with the intense heat.
This threat will pass (and the event will be closed) in a week's time, on 12th of May.
