The weather can be unpredictable at times. Whether it will rain, snow, blow heavy winds, or crash lightning down upon the land is always a question. Four of the deities knew this all too well as they are usually the cause of these storms all over Sorneith.

The Windsinger one day saw a clan of dragons trying to lay out some food around a long pole of metal that was trying to reach the sky. They were surprised to meet a deity, but they happily explained their intentions; The food they laid out always tasted better when cooked or charged by lightning. The only gamble is if the lightning will even come in the next storm. An idea popped into the wind deity's head as he zipped towards the Shifting Expanse.

The Windsinger was quick to reaching the Stormcatcher and talking to him about the idea. But there was a problem with that...To even create lightning out of nowhere, manipulating the clouds is the water's domain. Playing carrier pigeon, the cheerful wind dragon payed a visit to the Tidelord (who had been waiting on the surface due to predicting this) and told him about the idea. Although the water deity was interested, he did warn that this could have unforeseen consequences.

All three deities soon met up between the water and lightning domains and worked together to create a pair of dragons out of the Stormcatcher's beloved storm clouds. With the right mixture of water and lightning magic, the Windsinger gave a touch of his own powers - powerful wings that could create winds for those days that a hatchling would love to fly a kite.

The Icewarden just stared at the scene, not offering any input, though he did asked if this dragon can create snow. The Windsinger admitted that unless the area was cold already, snow would be impossible as it turns into rain instead. The Icewarden nodded before he headed back to his home.

Not long after, the pair of the first stormclouds were born. They were taken over to the place those dragons were still waiting for lightning to strike their food. Within minutes, the imperials were at work, beating their wings and manipulating water into angry black clouds and having lightning strike the rod of metal with ease. It bewildered the dragon clan, wondering how that cloud changed so suddenly. For a while, the number of Stormclouds grew, amazing dragons who are looking for a shift in the weather for various reasons. Many of them were happy to please and travel, controlling the weather for even a minute to satisfy a dragon in need.

But the tidelord's prediction soon came to be known. A couple of the stormclouds were flying over the scarred wasteland when some unknown contamination from the wyrmwound found them. Their abilities with water shifted, causing them to create acid rain and toxic fogs. Distraught and angered, those stormclouds lost their happiness and became twisted as the Plaguebringer herself - if they can't please anyone anymore, than they'll make everyone else feel their pain instead.

As these Imperials were constructed out of clouds, the Icewarden had a solution as the plague-ridden stormclouds caused mayhem in name of the Plaguebringer - his own icy stormclouds that he worked with the Windsinger to create, the hailclouds. He sent them to deal with the ill stormclouds, which he dubbed diseaseclouds. It was an easy victory if they avoided the toxins of the twisted dragons; simply blow a freezing blizzard over them and let them crash into many pieces on the ground.

While controlling the weather was great, the deities involved learned that sometimes some things are beyond even their control. All they can do now is keep the problem quelled while the stormclouds continue their job.
