## Story

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

It's a lovely day at Bridgetown. The morning sun shines in a clear blue sky as you leave the inn, and you can see a crowd has already started to gather in the middle of the makeshift town. You can see traders unloading wagons, and the docks along the Niavron river are bustling with activity.

You're technically meant to be heading to Reakriveth to help with patrolling the town, but you're a few days ahead of schedule, so you decide to just enjoy the weather. Because of its location, goods from all over Eaglesreach and beyond pass through Bridgetown, and so you make your way over to the marketplace to see if there's anything interesting.

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

A lot of the buying and selling is actually between merchants, exchanging wares to take back when they leave Bridgetown. The smell of baked goods catches your attention, and after following your nose, you obtain yourself a delicious chocolate filled pastry.

You quickly polish off the snack, and are chatting to a dwarf as you examine the gems he has for sale when...

"Come one, come all! You won't believe what we have today!" A man dressed in extravagent robes is standing beside a large wooden table. There's an oddly-shaped object on it, but it's concealed by a sheet of embroided blue fabric.

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

You look back to the dwarf as he grunts.
"And 'ere we go again. Watch ou' for tha' one. Try to sell ya yeh own hat if 'e thought 'e'd get away with it." Rolling his eyes, he turns his attention away from the apparently shady merchant.

"Anyways, no augments sorry. Sold ou' in Guildtown. 'eading back to the mount'ns to get more."

You thank the dwarf for his time, and you're self-aware that you're curiousity is getting the better of you, but you find yourself joining the people crowding around the mysterious object.

"...and after countless hours of negotiation, we were able to come to an agreement." The man's voice is as theatrical, but he seems to have captivated the audience, and you see him reach for the cloth cover.

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you a mechanical marvel, a wonder of magic and the first of its kind, the Sky Sovreign." The merchant pulls back the fabric, revealing a gleaming brass machine. The most prominent feature of the contraption is a pane of glass on the front, behind which you see a set of glowing crystals upon a slowly revolving disc.

"Until now, only the most powerful of archmages have been able to boast of the ability to control the weather, but I promise you, this working prototype can give anyone true mastery of the skies!" There's a few doubtful murmurs from the crowd, but the man is undeterred. "I can see some believe I'm exaggerating, but stay just a moment longer and I shall prove it to you."

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

You're inclined to agree with the crowd. True control over the weather is a feat you've only really seen a few times - purely because of how draining it is. You guess that the machine might be able to cause a gust of wind, or maybe summon a little rain, but you don't have high expectations.

While you don't really want to get rained on, you're still curious, so you watch as the merchant cranks the handle on the machine. There's a Ding, and your jaw drops as the daylight suddenly dims. You look up and see heavy clouds appearing in the sky above. Exclamations of shocks ring out from the crowd as the man smugly smiles.

"And just like that, sovereignity over the skies." The crowd swells, drawn by the strange phenomena.

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

The merchant cranks the handle again, and there's another Ding! and sunlight immediately begins to piece through the clouds. Ding! The clouds return with a light drizzle. Ding! A gentle breeze replaces the rain. Ding! A sudden flash of lightning and crack of thunder causes many to shriek in surprise, before a ripple of relieved laughter passes through the crowd. Snow now lightly falls as the man finishes the demonstration to a round of applause and cheering. He takes a bow and with a final Ding! the weather returns to normal.

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

"Thank you, thank you! Now, my contact within the Conclave has already begun work on producing more of these wondrous machines. However, as you can imagine, each one takes an astronomical effort to create. Despite this, we anticipate to be able to produce ten Sky Sovereigns that will be ready for delivery six months from now. Trust me when I say that you are the first to have the exclusive chance to purchase one."

"If you don't want to let this once in a lifetime opportunity slip away, I will be accepting orders and deposits today, however as I said, there are only ten available."

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

There's a rush forwards as he concludes his speech, and you manage to slip out the crowd. You're aware it's likely out of your price range- adventuring pays well, but it doesn't pay that well. Making a mental note to mention the strange machine to Cyrus the next time you travel south, you start to walk away when you hear someone shout.

"This man is a liar!" Turning around you see an agitated man marching towards the crowd. "I remember you. You came through my town last year taking orders your enchanted fertilizer. Everyone paid you, and you never came back." You raise an eyebrow as you see a brief flicker of unease pass over the merchant's face.

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

"I'm sorry, it would seem you've mistaken me for someone else."

"I don't think I have, Swain the Swindler." The merchant is clearly panicking now, and the crowd apparently takes that as an admission of guilt. Several people begin to yell angrily, while another person tries to grab the man before he can flee. There's a crash as the Sky Sovereignity is knocked off its table, but no one seems to care until... Ding!. As one, every person present looks at the machine, but the weather seems to remain unchanged. After a moment, the arguing resumes.

Ding!

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Your instints kick in and you step forward when **WHOOSH**!

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

A sudden howling wind explodes from the Sky Sovereign, tumbling over tables and wagons, and knocking over everyone nearby. Screams fill the air as people try to regain their footing- half running, half-crawling in an attempt to escape the gale. The wind picks up even more but you try to approach the machine - maybe you can stop this. As you slowly get closer, you see an indistinct shape near the fallen machine.

Fight an Air Elemental!

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

The Air Elemental disappates and as suddenly as it started, the wind is gone. The bridge is a mess - putting it simply, everything is everywhere. You suddenly notice that you're feeling quite warm. It wasn't this hot before the weather was tampered with, was it?
The temperature continues increasing and you've never felt the sun blazing with so much heat before. Realising something is still wrong, you again try to move to the Sky Sovereign when it's enveloped in a blinding light.

Ding!

Fight a Sunflare!

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

The sudden drop in temperature has you gasping in relief as the elemental creature blinks out of existance. You close your eyes for a moment, trying to ignore the lights that still dance in front of your eyes.

"Are you okay?" Seeing that the coast is clear, people have begun helping those injured by the windstorm, and the man who exposed Swain the Swindler has walked over to you. "I saw you take care of those elementals - surely he didn't have them trapped inside that... thing?"

"Here." Noticing you're a little worse for wear, he reaches into his bag and passes you a pair of healing potions. "These are on me. If you hadn't intervened, I'm sure many more people would have been hurt, so thank you."

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

You gratefully accept the potions and drink one.

"The name's Palvin. I'm based in Wryvale, which is where those potions are from. If you're after more, I have more in stock." He pauses, surveying the overturned carts and scattered debris. "Well... I had more in stock. I should probably go chec-" Ding!

The chime has everyone scattering for cover again, and Palvin hastily steps away as dark clouds begin to gather in the sky.

"Uh, I'll let you handle this." You feel the air grow colder and colder and snow begins to fall. There's another flash of light, and you see an Ice Golem suddenly form next to the Sky Soverign.

Fight an Ice Golem!

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

The golem cracks and falls apart, and warmth begins to return. Looking through the glass pane, you see that 3 of the crystals are cracked and no longer glowing. The snow is now a light drizzle, and you're contemplating breaking the glass and removing the remaining crystals when Ding!, the machine chimes again and you see the bright blue crystal suddenly shatter.

The rain suddenly turns into a torrential downpour as a surge of water rushes out of a vent on the side of the contraption.

Fight a Water Elemental!

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

Coughing, you spit out a mouthful of water. Water Elementals might be made of the cleanest water, but you still find it weird. The rain eases slightly but doesn't stop, and as you've come to expect, the machine chimes again, and another crystal breaks.

You quickly gulp down the second potion and look around for the next elemental to emerge, but there's nothing. You cautiously approach the Sky Sovereign again, and reach out to it.

**CRACK!** A lightning bolt blasts the ground next to you. Disoriented by the light and noise, you stumble back and can make out the shape of something descending from the sky.

Fight a Storm Squall!

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

The Storm Squall disappears in a crackle of static that has the hair on your arms standing on end. Realising that a certain sky deity may have taken offense to all this talk about sovereignity over the skies, and the imprisoning of her elementals in crystals, you quickly come to the conclusion that the sooner the machine is disabled, the better. Ding!

The Sky Sovereign prototype doesn't flash or spit out an elemental this time. It just explodes with a **BOOM**. The storm is fiercer than ever, as the wind begins to howl again, and a deluge heavier than before rains down on you. You hear loud thuds around you and see large hailstones are now falling from the sky too. It just gets better and better.

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

You feel a tingle and instinctively close your eyes. Even then, the previous lightning strike is nothing compared to the bolt that strikes. Even through your closed eyes, the flash is blinding, and you wouldn't be surprised if your hearing has been damaged by the accompanying thunderclap. You open your eyes and see before you an avatar of the sky. You've heard tales of these beings, greater elementals of Selurei's domain, but few in living memory have every come across one in person.

And unfortunately, it looks like you're now going to have to fight it.

Fight a Thunderhead!

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

Exhausted, you land one final attack upon the Thunderhead, and its form flickers, electricity crackling through its form. And then everything goes white...

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

*One week later...*

It was three days before you awoke in Reakriveth in the care of Maren, who had arrived in Bridgetown just after the weather returned to normal. The cleric of Croyel was unimpressed by your injuries, repeatedly explaining how you were nearly-vaporised. Not from the fight, but by the pure elemental energy released when the Greater Elemental returned to Selurei's domain.

As "punishment", Maren refused to let you examine the thank-you gifts sent along with your "nearly-vaporised" self until you were fully recovered.

### ***Location: Bridgetown***

Finally, after four days of impatiently waiting and after promising to be more careful in the future, you eagerly claim the small crate of items from the healer. Your excitement is short-lived however when she reminds you that you're still expected to be helping with patrols now that you're better.

Carrying your prize, you step out onto the busy streets of Reakriveth, ready for your next adventure.
