At Silverwood, population 694, the air remains dry and the land sparse, but the temperature drops to a cooler 73 to 85. Dust storms come by at least once a month, scouring the city.
Waiting for Rain
At Silverwood they see rain as likely, so they stop to wait for a trickle of water to come down the Miradorio river. The Miradorio is often dry, but birds are indicating storm clouds out of sight up north. The Miradorio bridge is much closer to the water here than over the canyon.
They’ll need to stop to wait for rain—perhaps after trying to run the train at high speed during the wyvern attack—to replenish their water supply.
The storm will have one visible effect in Silverwood: a dust storm. When the winds build up, the markets, streets, and people will clear out within twenty minutes, closing their doors and windows and emptying the streets.
After the dust storm is over, the people will head out to the Miradorio river to fill up water jugs. Jon and Peco will be among them. The water is cleaner than normal for here, but filled with the debris of a normally dry river suddenly running again. Even running, though, it’s only a few feet deep and a couple of yards wide.
