Thunderstorm of Fog

You don't need to be afraid little lady. This is just a cloudy storm. It may look dangerous when the clouds roll towards us, but the lightning ignites a refreshing tingle on the skin and its thunder sounds like singing glasses.

- Melem Eshtar, Desertguide -


Foggy thunderstorms are not uncommon in the foggy desert, but unlike normal thunderstorms, they rarely bring rain. However, these are not purely dry thunderstorms, as in other areas with very high temperatures and low humidity. These thunderstorms occur when sulfur-containing clouds move over the misty fumes of the wasteland and come into contact with them. Due to the physical and chemical forces, bright yellow, mostly harmless lightning bolts are discharged, which are accompanied by a clanging siren-like rumble of thunder. It is said that many people have fallen in love with the song of thunderstorms and never found their way out of the desert again.
