# The Mystery of the Mountains of Edessa

## Geological and Biological Overview

The Mountains of Edessa are famous for their electrore formations, which create a rather unique biome. However, recent lowering of temperatures across the region—caused by mysterious turbulence from the west—has significantly reduced the charge stored within this mineral. This deterioration has negatively impacted the flora native to the area and forced many local species to migrate.

Among these migrating species are the exceedingly rare Thunder Spiders. Usually peaceful, once outside their natural habitat, these huge arthropods become extremely ravenous. They eat constantly and grow beyond measure. This accelerated growth is not only painful but also makes them even more aggressive.

## The Threat of Tonitranea Rex

A truly gigantic specimen was recently spotted in the valley—one so ferocious that it forced the population of nearby villages to flee their homes. The residents speak with a mix of fear and respect about the Tonitranea Rex, known as the Lord of Thunder. Its hunting ground grows by the day, threatening not just the people of the valley but the balance of the region’s entire ecosystem.
