background

For months, pink lightning tore apart the trees, bright green rain flooded the rivers, and cyan fog clung to everything. Stormyhaven (located in Hex 10.25 in the Mucklands) was once a thriving community of gnomes, but the rain and violent floods displaced families and friends. Whatever broke the sky and unleashed wild arcane energies remains a mystery to all but a secret few. One day the arcane storm came to an end, perhaps due to an enterprising hero out to prove themselves. Though it's just as likely that a magical butterfly somewhere flapped their wings and reverse engineered the arcane chaos. The gnomes of Stormyhaven made valiant attempts to unravel the mystery, gathering several credible theories with significant evidence. These theories include: the storm was the result of a forbidden spell demanding its due; it was a direct attack from an ancient enemy of the gnomes; it was the first echoes of the Cataclysm that will remake the Land of Eem one day. Each theory has its supporters and detractors, but the folk of Stormyhaven have agreed that the time for finding answers comes later. Only a few friendly rains hold steady above Stormyhaven, but the gnomes and their friends are ready to return home and rebuild.
