Board up the windows, batten down the hatches, drop anchors, a storm?s a blown?! Alacritis is facing it?s first hurricane, and with this tyrannical typhoon comes a whole host of problems:
Landfall is expected on January 21, the remnants of the storm will continue to shower Alacritis for a week. The storm will make landfall on the continent of Alacritis near Sea?s Plain in the South, from there it will move North toward Mt. Volkan and then winds will drive it East where it will leave the continent near Fontamo Bay.
The eye of the storm, along with the strongest thunderstorms and harshest winds will follow the storm?s path. Splaying out on either side will be moderate-mild storms, growing less intense the farther away from the eye they are located.
Areas in the path of severe thunderstorms, intense winds, tornados, and torrential rainfall are:
Nephilim Island - Valhalla
Sea?s Plain - Valhalla
Tall Grass Plains - Valhalla

Due to the storm?s direct path toward Mount Volkan, the volcano will be set into a mildly active state. Ash, dust, and debris will spew from its mighty maw and cloud the surrounding area with black powder. The ash cloud will be set into motion on January 22, and the ash will remain in the air and on the ground for approximately 5 ooc days before the rain washes it away completely.
Areas most affected by the ash:
Mount Volkan
Fenrir?s Maw
Singing Caverns
Saratoga Woods
Serpent Plains
Stone Steppe
Traveler?s Pitfall
Buffalo Knolls
Areas moderately affected by the ash:
Northern Mines

Characters interacting in the areas above will be required to react to the storm and/or the ash. Ignoring this catastrophic event will be highly frowned upon. Packs located in affected areas will face complications due to the storm and/or the ash cloud. Details of these complications will be written in an OOC post in the pack board.
