Episode A7 - The Abode of Clouds

Synopsis: The science behind the 4.2 kiloyear BPE Aridification Event.

“The great farming tracts brought forth no grain,

The irrigated farming tracts brought forth no fish,

The well-watered orchard brought forth neither syrup nor wine.

The gathering clouds brought no rain, not even weeds would grow.” – The Curse of Agade
