Great Storm

In early 2324, at the conclusion of season 3, a massive storm was spotted brewing in the desert past the mountains north of New Gork, gradually moving closer. When first seen, although from some distance, it was apparent this was no ordinary storm, as it appeared to be shot through with more than mere lightning—a storm of wild magic.

It was feared the mountains would not stop a storm of this nature and magnitude, and such fears were soon proved true as the storm continued advancing toward New Gork. Alboba, New Gork's Head of Infrastructure, and Danara, the Head of the New Gork Forge, together took charge of protecting the town. Danara traveled to the City of Lights, an abandoned underground city perhaps half an hour's travel from New Gork, and was able to control the ant-like constructs that still remained there to aid in fixing the air filtration systems and at least render the topmost levels breathable. Alboba constructed protective windbreaks around New Gork along with a number of bridges in the City of Lights to connect the rooftops that were now usable following Danara's efforts.

As the storm neared the town, the citizens evacuated to the City of Lights, and a small adventuring party set out into the storm itself in hopes of finding anything they could do to stop it or at least mitigate its effects. This party included Ilmia, a facet of the changeling Reign; Isiah; Riley Acton and Lachlan (hawk familiar); Marmor, a facet of the changeling Swii, and Teus (owl familiar); Pan; and Auris Sunwolf Oretharos, Eirian (owl familiar), and Gwrtheyrn Titanqueller (giant wolf summoned steed). Of this group, only Eirian was permanently lost; Lachlan and Teus fell to the same lightning flare but were able to be resummoned.

At the heart of the storm, the party found something tangible, something that reached out to strike at them, and so they struck back. Eventually, they defeated this elemental force, and Ilmia, who already housed the ancient storm Eskrinos within herself, absorbed the last remnants of it, and the storm dispersed.

Geographical Effects
The storm was observed to completely transform the landscape in certain locations, seemingly at random. The peaks of two mountains were observed to have swapped locations; a desert-like area sprang up in the middle of the jungle; lakes disappeared and reappeared in entirely different places. Thankfully, the storm dissipated before changes of any such magnitude reached New Gork.

Mutations
Many of those who were exposed to the wild magic of the storm for extended periods of time developed physical mutations, including changes in coloration, enhancement of the senses (at times to a debilitating level), and growth of new limbs (wings were the most commonly observed, and were not fully functional).
