May 2018 [Mortal News All Genres]
On the 1st of May a huge storm blew down the coast of Queensland. People looked up and battened down the hatches, this looked to be another bad storm. The force is strong though for northern Queensland for gale force winds up to 100km/h and then tonight the weather strikes back as a deep area of low pressure pushes in from the west, creating storm-like conditions for Harvey Bay and advancing southwards. In normally sunny Brisbane on the fourth of May those forced to awaken early, were on the dark side as roiling clouds amassed blocking out the small moon and lashing the sunshine and Frazer coast with storming on those trooping to work. There were more than 50,000 reported lightning blasts that didn’t hit anything significant.
The storm continued and had it’s revenge on the fight with a blow to the local infrastructure, when a one in a million lightning strike hit the power reactor at Swan Bank sparking a power surge that destroyed several junction stations leaving the city on the dark side. There were several lightning strikes that resulted in fires in districts 1-9 that were put out by the SES in record time. There are reports of up 19 major fires that occurred in the Greater Brisbane region.
In central District One the lack of power and damage was accelerated with choked debris that hindered clean up. Police have been deployed to assist with clean up and hospitals and emergency wards are reporting a veritable attack of injuries. Local Government Minister Im Sidious said he found the lack of faith disturbing in regard to resorting power quickly. This is cloned to a lesser extent across the borders of District 3 Ipswich and District 5 Redland Bay
Far, far away to the south in the Gold Coast, there's a new hope for some sunshine developing later in the week.
May 2018 [Werewolves]
The storm roils and scours the Hisil, even more terrible than it’s mortal counter part, the sky is black and lightning forks and shatters the shadowed landscape. Flash floods, dust devils, and torrential downpours accompany by multicolored lightning send most spirits hurrying for shelter. Terrible wings scour the land echoing the terrible laughter of Maeljin of a thundercould of negative concepts and emotions. The resonance is stirred and smashed into shambles.
In the morning the Hisil normally vibrant seems pale and thin, even at noon. Sounds echo and carry much farther than in the material world, and the sky is perpetually roiling with gray clouds that only occasionally part, allowing a glimpse of Luna or Helios hanging in the sky. The atmosphere has the charged feeling of an approaching storm. More disturbingly the upheavals in the Shadow has been so terrible it has injure the very fabric of the Hisil and disrupt its connection to the material world’s resonance, forming a wasteland of nihilistic emptiness between the major city centers. Suddenly lost homeless, despondent listless and withdrawn spirits lurk in the colorless, fragile landscape. Travelers feel their emotions and interests draining away the longer they stay. A massive shoal seems to extend from the edges of the central business district courts out to the outer edges of the last districts.
The locus outside the district centers seem to have twisted and diminished of faded away. Amid the atmosphere is the faint Travel in Hisil is going to be fraught with danger until the balance is restored.
