Vivane and Sky Point

Vivane was a Theran stronghold before the war, and the nearby fortress of Sky Point was the base of operations for Theran troops in the area. After the Triumph was captured by Barsaivian forces, the allies turned their attention to Vivane and Sky Point. During the battle, Stormhead, a Horror-created magical storm, was drawn to the city and rained down destruction. After the destruction and the Theran retreat, the Barsaivian Resistance has put themselves in charge of the city, and turned the tables on those Therans who were unable to escape.

Why the Horror Cloud moved is a source of much speculation; it had been in the same place since it was first discovered in the early days after the Scourge. One theory is that the combined suffering of the city’s slaves and Barsaivian underclass represented a meal too good to pass up. Most serious scholars discount this idea, pointing out that the timing of Stormhead’s move to the city was surprisingly convenient, and it was more likely the result of some deliberate action. Of course, this means somebody on the side of the Barsaivian alliance had the power to affect the Horror Cloud, and the will to use a Horror’s power against the city’s civilian population.
