Twenty-six years ago, due to the constant requests from the people of Dry City, the then regent of the Black Plain had invited a regional specialist to study that region once again.
Such a demand from the population was not unusual. That's because some citizens always hoped that things would change for the better one day. After all, the world was vast, and natural phenomena could change a region in a few decades.
So, hope still existed.
Because of this, from the point in history furthest from the present that the large regional families were aware of, the Dry City citizens already make these kinds of demands.
That was something that didn't happen with each generation, as children or even grandchildren would see their ancestors talking about having heard from the mouths of experts that such a place had no future.
But over time, as several generations passed, there always came a time when some people could not accept this without a new attempt.
