Living with constant rain would shape how you dress, move, and plan your day. Your daily behavior would adjust naturally to wet conditions. Over time, these behaviors would become shared habits that crystallize into culture and then traditions adapted to that environment across generations. A culture would form around living in rain as normal life.
Now ask: what happens if you take a culture shaped by rain for thousands of years and place it in the desert?
They would adapt, because humans always do. Rain boot and Rain coats would be ineffective in that environment. Some of the tools might work but for the most part the group’s daily routines would change to live and survive the sand, heat, and dryness. Even still, the deeper culture would still reflect life in the rain. Even in the desert, they would be a rain-formed culture learning a new environment, not a desert culture by origin.
Would the struggles of this group be caused by the harshness of the Desert or by their refusal to let go of the Rain?
