A common weather pattern in Tordon, ion storms are high altitude systems that sport dense reams of lightning and electricity. They seldom drop near ground level, and are short lived, but known for their destructiveness and spontaneity.
Any buildings above a height threshold in Tordon are equipped with defensive structures, like tall steel rods, to absorb or redirect the electricity, with varying levels of effectiveness. A notable version of this technology is used in the Mercurial, collecting the energy from these storms to power its arcane devices.
Trained in Arcana
Ion storms are said to improve the efficacy of spells in their midst, though it’s difficult to imagine many a mage willingly stepping into one.
