Maelstrom

Because every good fantasy world needs a country-sized storm.
The Maelstrom was made by Ashalla (with a bit of help from Azura) to bind the gateway to Veradax to a single location on Galbar. When Orvus first made the gateway, it was a destructive storm being pulled along beneath Veradax at supersonic speeds. Ashalla and Azura both swiftly intervened to stop the storm. Azura created the eclipse whale to weaken the storm's connection with Veradax, while Ashalla created the Maelstrom to provide a more permanent location to bind the storm.Azura and Ashalla bind the storm, creating the Maelstrom - https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4855273
The Maelstrom is located in the ocean along the equator just south of Swahhiteh. The Maelstrom consists of a circular ring of small islands surrounding a massive whirlpool. This whirlpool is fed by arctic currents pulled down by Swahhitteh-Tendlepog and hot water currents from the Saluran Mendidih. The Gateway to Veradax hovers above the very centre of the Maelstrom. The gateway itself is a terrifying cyclone with black clouds, destructive winds and crimson lightning, although further from the centre the supernatural storm transitions to a permanent natural cyclone.
The strength of the storm fluctuates with the phase of Veradax, with the storm being at its strongest when Veradax is full. Smaller storms also bud off from the Maelstrom at times, bringing a small sample of Veradax's desolation to other parts of Galbar.
