Gridanian Religion vs Reality: How much do the Hearers really hear?

[JeniLinsky]

That still looks pretty healthy for a desert, though?

I grew up in Southern Arizona, which is part of the Great Sonoran Desert. Parts of it are pretty lush, in comparison to what you've posted there from the Mojave. I don't find the Thanalan scenery to be at all out of scale with the deserts with which I am familiar. Now, the rain in Camp Moistbone... that is out of scale, unless the climate is changing there. But if the climate is changing, perhaps all the quest and leve texts describing how people there would kill for a drink of water needs to be revised?
