The World Storm

Rules

The storm functions as a massive planar transport mechanism. It jarred the bodies of those it transported, though certain races like High Elves possessed innate resilience to its magical fallout. It left behind a violet scar in the sky that continues to pulse.

Examples

• •The High Elves striking the loam with gasping breaths upon arrival
• •A Dwarven hold being ripped from the Deep-Dark and crashing into a valley
• •Vampires being deposited onto a chain of barren islands

Description

A catastrophic planar convergence event that shattered reality, transporting kingdoms from multiple worlds onto an alien planet named Almanus. It is characterized by a split in the sky and the deposition of various races into a single crucible.

Manifestations

• •A split sky resembling a fever-dream glass pane
• •Violet light showering the landscape
• •A faint, healed-over violet scar in the sky that pulses
• •Spiraling glyphs cut into rock and mud

Societal Impact

The event forced disparate races into immediate competition for fertile ground and resources. It shattered existing supply lines and forced civilizations to adapt their doctrines to a new, unforgiving world. Each race developed its own nomenclature for the day, such as the Sky's Lament or the Deepfall.

Conflict Potential

The world storm placed conflicting ideologies of peace, order, conquest, and power into a single geographic area, leading to immediate and prolonged warfare, such as the fifty-four-day conflict at Almanus.

Origin And Evolution

The event occurred in ages past, described as a rift or wound in the sky that reality is still knitting back together. It moved entire civilizations, such as the High Elves and Dwarves, from their original homeworlds to a new, alien environment.
