Storm Queen

The Storm Queen was the creator and monarch of a surprisingly long-lived orcish civilization in the north of Paral that existed far prior to the elf war. She is now a largely mythical figure.

The Storm Queen, a skilled sorceress, began her rise to power by wandering the orc-inhabited north, aiding others and intentionally putting tribes and powerful individuals in her debt. She began combining the tribes against a common threat when she discovered the plot of Mortuum Tenebris to destroy the Sphere.

She built and maintained her kingdom, known as the Stormlands, through clever use of infrastructure and electrical sorcery. Steel cables buried under the ground allowed her to transmit information through them and travel almost instantaneously between colonies. Using Voltstone, her subjects were able to do the same. She built her fortress and center of operations within the Sphere and was empowered by it and the Tower with the ability to slay the Archdemon.

The Archdemon was defeated, but not without a great loss. the Stormlands persisted as a kingdom for almost a century before being decimated by the Clockwork Plague and Veinbite, ultimately scattering into disjointed nomadic tribes.

The Storm Queen was one of the first victims of the clockwork plague, suffering from an extreme level of brass conversion, but was able to withstand the necessary amputation and modification. With her kingdom falling apart, she ventured into the Sphere and allowed herself to become the warden. She is currently asleep and unaging within the center, the only living being afflicted with the clockwork plague.
