The black clouds

in this world, many years ago, extremely powerful beings roamed the face of the realm, these were so powerful, higher powers had to intervene, the higher beings took these beings and trapped them in "prisons" named "clouds" or "storms" or "black clouds" as some call them, these black clouds can be opened at random or be forced open with the right tools, these prisons yield both the being and its power, cracking a cloud open and destroying the beast inside is an opening to use its power, some legendary hero's use this to forge unimaginably powerful weapons, armors, and relics, but these are not to be messed with, if a cloud is broken open and the being inside is of the highest caliber, it might be a semi apocalyptic event if gets out of hand, as the most powerful of said beings can break open other clouds, thus creating a chain reaction of unspoken size so big it might as well be a cataclysmic event. cloud beings have seven categories, as each of these beings is as powerful as nature itself

**tier 1: storm**

these primordial beasts can almost be mistaken for normal creatures among other beings, but it is still incredibly powerful and shall not be treated lightly

**tier 2: Thunder**

these beings are described as being as powerful as some of the elites in hell itself. they can destroy tens of men in seconds, it shall not be treated as a being, but as a force of nature

**tier 3: thunderstorm**

powerful, and compact, this class is mostly for humanoid or human sized creatures with incredible power, almost ungodly amount of power that is, they are not to be treated as mortal creatures, but as perfect machines made for killing

**tier 4: Hurricane**

enormous creatures that take many forms, from huge creatures that resemble predators, to gigantic chimera like beasts. they are as tough and powerful as they are big, once again, more of a force of nature than a creature

**tier 5: typhoon**

the typhoon's are unimaginably powerful, they are gods among mortals, not to be messed with unless you want to doom the world or at least the lives of thousands

**tier 6: Umbral monsoon**

umbral monsoon are commonly titans that are gigantic demonic beasts that before being trapped, have existed for tens of thousands of years. and as with demons, the older, the stronger, these beasts are god like, they are what some may call a walking apocalypse, and with some of them being as big as mountains and being able to fly and breath fire, its not far from the truth

**tier 7: Winds of Destruction**

these are... creatures, beings, and **people** with the power to put down a literal **GOD**, or become one, they are so powerful they even fought the higher beings back before being trapped, **THEY WERE WINNING THAT WAR** they are powerful way too powerful when or if one of them is ever awakened, it should be counted as a calamity, an unpreventable event, you can only hope they either get trapped again or just don't decide to end the world there and then, they are so powerful that putting the word god in their name, is an understatement, if one catches you, I hope it will be quick, painless, and that whatever deity you believe in forgives all your sins.
