The moment the Airship crossed a certain boundary over the strait, the climate began to change in a peculiar way. By the time the passengers noticed, they were already enveloped in clouds and mist, having arrived in the southeastern region of Istani.
Storm City. The city's name came from what ancient Adventurers called it: "the place the storms guided us to." Its formal name, inherited from the Jabber Language, is supposed to be "Ventebol."
Nowadays, everyone just calls it Storm City in the common tongue. Let the stuffy old scholars and the royal court bicker over that hard-to-pronounce ancient name!

But who cares?
