[Alithís Evgenis]

Alithís Evgenis
[i]dum spiro spero-- while I breathe, i hope

The wind howled with a ferocity unparalleled. The sky had tinted a foreboding yellow the hour prior as the only warning of the oncoming storm. Those who decided to stay inside had made a wise choice.

Now the usual blue hue and previous yellow tint was replaced by an awful grey as clouds roiled overhead. It would be a fast storm but a dangerous one. Some of the less structurally sound buildings were torn asunder under the fierce elements that the storm had brought with it. Even stone was no match as loose rock tumbled away from the cliff.

Those brave enough to test the outside after the clouds had passed would be the first to see the damage. Some of the pathways had been severely damaged and the many houses of the territory had essentially become unfit to stay in. The roofs were bound to cave in if they hadn't already and much of the windows had been shattered by fallen trees, branches, or even high speed rocks.

Even the Kingpin’s own tree was not spared of the damage. Scuffed up by rocks and quite a few branches scattered about the base meant the dragon inhabitant had gotten fairly lucky that it wasn't worse.

All in all, the territory of Alithis Evgenis looked like a mess.

However it was nothing they couldn't fix. It was work but Alithians were strong workers and the storm that had raged into their lands would not change that fact.

Besides, it seemed that it had led to something new! Along the cliff face was a slightly obscured cave mouth. Occasionally stones and pebbles still tumbled from the entrance after having been exposed by the harsh winds but the cave seemed fairly deep from a glance and a good shelter for those that don't have one anymore due to the storm and perhaps it was luck for the since the storm didn't seem quite finished yet...
