====Lord of the Tempest, The====

The Lord of the Tempest watches over the rapidly dwindling Northern Sea. He was responsible for driving out the Iotold peoples and their cetacean brethren when they started to magically augment them. He is also responsible for the various leviathans which roam the waters now, including the fearsome Stormrays. He is however not the cause of the dreaded Obsidian Leviathan , as some scholars suggest, but rather a force trying to keep it at bay. Though the occasional wizard with lofty aspirations of otherworldly power momentarily breaks those bonds before the Lord can reseal the beast in the cold deep of the Sea.

Even worse is that the weakening Lord is trying to encroach upon the northern reaches of the Imperial lands, trying to reestablish his watery territory. Only its finest warriors and its greatest battlemages are recruited to keep the Lord at bay. Though the difficulty seems insurmountable at times, and though there are grave losses upon the battles with the Lord, the Empire somehow manages to eke out a victory each time. Perhaps the prolonged fighting and continued efforts to manage his shrinking domain are beginning to wear him down more and more. Though the Lord's aggression needs to be tamed, perhaps too much of this will bring the Sea, and the rest of the world, into a catastrophic decline...
