It’s the middle of spring, where farmers ought to til the land in peace, and the skies clear and calm, as it usually was. However, since two weeks again, there has been report of a storm that seems to be travelling across the land. Wherever it goes, hail thick as eggs rain down, and lightning bolts frayed the ground. Villages have been devastated and even the walls of towers and keeps are in need of repair.

1. Occasionally, a Titan (see Dragon Warrior Bestiary) is trapped in this plane of existence; but what happens this time is even more drastic. A group of Titan hunters have emerged to this plane, and for some reason, they are unleashing storms wherever they go. An Air Elementalist, toying with the limits of his power, have accidentically creates a sentinel air elemental. The Elementalist had in mind a spell of destruction, and the air elemental uses its power to bring across the most destructive force of air that it could find and bring it to this plane. The Titan hunters percieved the sudden shifting of plane as a delibrate attack and insult to their honour, and they will be leaving a trail of destruction till they find this Elementalist.
2. Thick, broiling clouds follow the storm wherever it goes, and survivors have claimed that they had see a “ship of stone” within the cloud. It seems to be made be made entirely of granite and precious stones though no one could get a clear view of it. If divination magic is used, the ship is clearly the source of the storm. Boarding it would require the adventurers to have some way to fly. Within the ship, crystal golems protect and operate it; they do not appear to be hostile. Their leader, also a golem, explained that this ship was created thousands of years ago, and only recently was reactivated. It seems that someone else have been here before and tamper with the enchantments on the ship so that now it is causing such destructions. The adventurers may venture to fix, but the catch is that the golems are just acting friendly, being somehow converted to the cause of the interuder and since they are not alive, no ESP or methods of prying into their mind is going to reveal this.
3. The storm seems to follow a predetermined path, targeting major cities, trade hubs and farms. This is prelude to an invasion. In order to take back Ellseland (see Dragon Warriors) from the ‘invaders of the south’, a charismatic warlord who has claimed descent from the original kings of the island have gathered a coven of Elementalists to summon this storm to wreck havoc. The display of magic is, however, usually beyond the means of mere mortal, even if they channelled their power together. The warlord has actually made a pact with a demon, who is marsquading as one of the Forgotten Gods of Ellseland, for his own goals and purpose. Would the adventurers be able to unmask the deception in time?
