In the vast realms of Veridia, Thor, known as the Tempest Warden, was a unique Skysmith with unparalleled mastery over thunder. While initially feared for his uncontrollable storms, a pilgrimage to the World's Edge and an encounter with the ancient Stormspirit taught him balance.
However, the Skyshadow, a faction of Skysmiths, viewed his power as a threat, leading to the monumental Skywar. After vanquishing them, Thor founded Skyhaven, a sanctuary for Skysmiths, ensuring that Veridia's skies remained a place of harmony and balance.
