Seasons & Thirst
A four-season calendar shapes how you live and where you can go. Spring, summer, autumn and winter each bring their own weather — and their own dangers.
The seasonal clock
| Season | What it brings |
|---|---|
| Spring / Autumn | Steady growth; the calmer stretches of the year. |
| Summer | Thirst in the heat, sunburn that makes every wound worse, and brush fires in dry country. |
| Winter | Frost that kills exposed crops, snow and ice spreading across the land, and storms that blind you. |
Crops grow on the season's terms — so the Farmer's harvest, and your winter stores, rise and fall with the calendar.
Thirst
When summer bears down in hot country, thirst becomes something to watch — it appears only when the heat makes it matter, and stays out of your way the rest of the year.
Drinking
Find water and you can stop to drink your fill — but be careful where. Foul sources will leave you sick. A Water Canteen lets you carry clean water for the long, dry crossings between.
None of these systems stand alone — summer thirst drives you to risky water, risky water breeds disease, and a wrathful harvest god can ruin the very crops you were counting on for winter.
