As the nymphs of cloud and rain, the Nephelae can pour life back into the landscape. With her strong, summer storms the Desert Nephelae nourishes the earth, but knows she must use her yearly rations wisely. While her sister nymphs deliver many pleas for the weary creatures they protect, she knows she must conserve her share of treasured, stormy weather. When she finally answers the thirst of desert wildlife, the Nephelae spills her cloudy pitchers and watches as her rains bring new life to the land.
