Drought

The drought was a devastating period taking place in the third age. The massive continent of Emberland was beginning to fall apart. The remaining water supplies started to evaporate. This caused farms to lose their ability to grow anything. After only a few months people started panicking about the food supplies. The Emberland Empire was not prepared for a food crisis on this scale. They soon had angry civilians on their heads, rioting about the fact that the government send most food to the capital to keep for themselves. Eventually the civil war broke out. After 3 years the drought ended, and the water supplies returned to normal. But the war kept going.
