Famine and Migration

A devastating climate shift in 1816 caused widespread crop failures across North America and Europe, leading to skyrocketing food prices and mass migrations. While some managed to survive, like Reuben with his wheat harvest, many turned to scavenging or left their homes in search of sustenance. The repercussions were felt globally, with Europe facing severe famine and social unrest, marking the last major famine on the continent.
