I chose rain, too. It would get very annoying being wet and flooded all the time, but too much rain won't give you sunstroke, the pestilance is just awful, and though I love trees, the way the fertile sun is described, it would just be too horrible to watch such unnatural growth.

Thanks all for partaking! Obviously all of them are pretty nasty! I agree that the sun of rain was just water ... the water wasn't in pain from what we could tell.

I choose the fertile sun without the health sense. Sunder said his people seemed to rejoice when it came along so before Linden saw it, everyone in the land thought it was a good thing. The sun of rain would be the worse for me. The costant roar pounding against the surface, staying soaked and uncomfortable all the time, and you know rain coming down that hard does not feel good against the skin.

I chose the desert sun (I also live in the desert and am pretty much used to it). I remember reading that it rained so hard under the sun of rain that you couldn't even see. I imagine it would have hurt a bit, too, to be pelted non-stop for 12 hours. A fertile sun would have been alright if you kept moving all the time (I'm tired already). And the bugs would just drive me insane under a sun of pestilence. Oh, and no health sense at all with either of them (shiver the thought). :)

I chose the Desert Sun because, like LA said, under that sun things aren't poisoned or violent or corrupt. Just dead. And I think that although the Pestilent Sun would be the worst to travel in, the Fertile sun was the most evil. LA's reaction to it, her description of how disgusting it looked on the inside, despite how good it looked on the outside, was quite powerful for me.

I chose Fertile Sun because there'd be something to eat. It would be more manageable than the other suns: cold with rain sun, heat with desert sun, disease with pestilence sun.
