Editing A Maharani Calls (section)

===Gebra===
We go to talk to Gebra, along with the logistics person.  The centaurs do have a Blue mage (Seph), although not from Blue, obviously.  Changing the weather of entire portions of the country is beyond his ability.  He is currently on location, several days’ travel up the river.  She gives us an address; he may not be there on any given day.  He has helped prevent it from being a Disaster, but he hasn’t been able to Fix it.  Has there been any investigation into whether it’s naturally occurring or hostile action of some kind.  The Mages and Mother Priests who have been hired haven’t indicated that it’s either a competing Magic field, or a Curse of any sort.  But mostly they’ve been dealing with symptoms rather than root causes.  The Priests of the Mother are based in a temple a bit further up the river than where Seph is.  They haven’t been working together with Seph, particularly.  (Seph is at the ‘s’ in the “Queen’s River” on the map; the priests are at the ‘v’.  The drought basically comes from the Mountain to around where Seph is.)  The slith have not really been going that far up.  Seph and the Mother Priests are the main ones who are dealing with the drought; Gebra has been dealing with logistics.

The drought started after the Comet; it’s been into severe-drought territory this year.  It’s mostly already damaged the crops this year, but making sure it doesn’t hurt next year’s crops would be very helpful.  It’s not mass-starvation level, but it is bad.
