Question Title:	Weather
Category:	Graphics
Question:	How come it rains so much, this seems to have a very negative effect on how smoothly the game runs, and also seems to affect lag a great deal. I live in Washington State and am SICK of the rain. Are there places in Dereth that don't rain? Seems to me the Desert Regions should be free of rain, isn't that what make a desert a desert?

Answer:	It rains less than 1/3 of the days in Dereth, and when it rains, it's not for a long duration. And rain happens worldwide in Dereth at the same time, it is not regional.
