Drought of Emancipation

The second of Fren used to be celebrated as the date of emancipation for the tiefling population of Sielsan. Unfortunately, their freedom was not thorough enough to genuinely qualify as freedom, nor was it particularly long-lived.

The drought in question had started earlier in the year, towards the beginning of summer. The Leushlan landscape was harsh, but nothing like the desert. As elves traveled further south, they encountered the ferocity of the sun. The traders began to wilt under the heat and lack of water throughout the landscape. After many accidental deaths of dehydration, and many more intentional ones that were aided by the elves' disorientation, the Elodian Empire halted the trade in Sielsan.

The traders left, and Sielsan was left to recover from the damage that Elodia had caused to their people and their land. Many feared that this change would not last, and they set towards preparing themselves for future self defense.
