"Once Aqualander, overlord of Water, and Shalwend, overlord of Air, started the war. However, the Realm of Winds was unreachable for water elementals: their ice peaks crumbled under a barrage of lightning before they had time to reach its borders. Then Aqualander created several birds from steam that was on the border between two Realms. Named Stormbirds, these creatures brought water elementals a decisive victory in this war. Regnan magicians, specializing on magic water, often summon these birds for the aid. Bards say that semilegendary Ayssids were harnessed to the heavenly chariot of Aqualander, on which he crushed the lord of Air. These birds are bloodthirsty as their creator. HotA Facebook post
