This would require a weather change so if is not possible to manipulate the weather in a cell , someone say so right away !!!
Simple little quest
In your travels you come across some farms (location ?)
Talking to the farmers they will tell you that the crops have
been poor due to the lack of rain. (rumors) or (part of "my trade")
(the landscape in that area should reflect such dryness)
At this point the only update the player gets is "farmers say it hasn't rained in a long time, and crops are poor" taling to anyone else will yeild the same results....untill.....
the player talks to a merchant.. any general merchant (or we can pick a specific merchant) in the nearest town/city/village (location ?) will tell you that the lack of rain is affecting thier business.
This will prompt the player to ask about the weather.
The merchant will say yada yada yada (insert dialogue) a long time ago when their was drought in the land they called on a shaman who could make it rain !...yada yada yada talk to a Nord.
(We need a Nord, whom would know about history and myth)
Talking to the Nord will reveal the legend of the Rainmaker, (insert story)
and reference some old text. (need Book and title) a story book, but a rare one that wouldn't be kept at any bookstore but might be kept by a noble or a writer or a bard. !!
(decide who has book)
Find book and read. the book will tell the story of the shaman who could make it rain, by the use of "special gloves"
The gloves can be of any type and should provide the wearer with a few minor special magic's and also make it rain (1 time use only)(once the gloves are used the rain making effect is gone)
The book will also mention how the rainmaker eventually died and was layed to rest in a tomb near the skyrim boarder....
Find the tomb
In the tomb you will discover the bones of one shaman and scattered debris as the tomb has been looted, you will find in the debri some torn material which will prompt the player to check local tailors and seamstresses(another seamstress quest )
One of the tailors will tell you that they had seen this material on a pair of gloves, (insert name) had brough them in for repair, but the tailor could not match the material and so (insert name) left.
Find (insert name) in the town and ask about the gloves
a) (insert name) doesn't know what they can do and will gladly sell them to you for a few gold
or
b) (insert name) knows what the gloves are for and is not willing to part with them and demands you give (insert name) the torn piece.
(work the above out)
regardless of which above we decide, eventually you recover the gloves
take them to the tailor and have them repaired
travel back to the farm and speak with a farmer, tell him/her that your willing to help with the drought, the farmer will offer to reward you with a profit from his/her crop sales
(select location to cast) Go out to a predetermined location and cast the spell using the gloves. it rains
return to the farmer and he/she will thank you and be instructed to return for (players share) of profits
Go and talk to the merchant who you spoke to the first time and receive additional reward of (???)
After 5 days (game time) return to the farm to see the crops have appeared
and collect share of profit. If the player returns every 3 days he/she will collect (XXX amount)
Suggestions
Enjoy
