Element: Air
Long ago, the Usurpation drove the Tricerok deep beneath the surface of Creation. There they met the dark things forgotten by the world above, and stood with the Mountain Folk to do battle against them. In mockery of their elemental Paths, the foul forbidden gods of the Underbrood turned the substance of that place against them, but the Tricerok stole the secrets of that mastery and with their ancient powers brought the five elements of the world below to their side. Thus were born the five Paths in Darkness.
The Path of Roaring Winds is the Dark Path of Air. Deep below Creation, one would imagine air moved little, if at all; but the heat of slumbering magma vents drives the air to rise through cracks and tunnels, where it can driven to high speeds by the pressure of its confines or whipped to a frenzy as it encounters the cooler air that flows from where underground streams run. In places, one encounters wind tunnels that can lift a grown man from his feet and dash him against a stone ceiling hundreds of feet above. Still, such places are rare, and the dark gods of the Underbrood did not develop this Path so far as they did others, thinking it weak. When the Tricerok stole it, they refined its powers to reflect the true nature of the breath of Creation.
This Path’s Powers all rely on using air around the character, and thus cannot normally be employed underwater or in other airless environments; imaginative stunts, however, such as expelling the air in one’s lungs and manipulating the air in the bubble, can circumnavigate this restriction. The Path of Roaring Winds counts as a Breed Path for Pterok.
