Several reports indicate that a massive storm is forming a few days off the coast of Duirt. Ships that have attempted to sail through this storm have not come out. Storm Watchers speculate that the storm will only gain in power as it gets closer to the city. It not being the season for such storms, no one is quite sure why the storm has formed.
Perhaps because of said storm, or perhaps from unrelated things...the elements of wind and water are acting very chaotic. Spells involving water and wind are completely unpredictable currently
(( Spells with the Air or Water descriptor have a 50% to backfire on the caster, 1-50 works normally, 51-100 backfires and deals 1d6 damage/spell level to the caster until this event is resolved ))
