The Bad Wind
Boreas was an eolion, a creature of chaos from the elemental plane of air. It was summoned to the Land of Mists by a misanthrope seeking an engine of destruction. His wish was granted. The creature was warped and twisted by its entry into the Land of Mists. No longer did it merely incarnate chaos, it now projected it upon others without so much as a thought. A field of maddening potentiality hung about it and unhinged the mind. But if this was a boon to the creature, there was a commensurate price to be paid. It lost its capacity to pursue any other goal than killing. The frenzied chaos of a fight, which it had always loved, was all that was left to it in the world. And some how added to that was the misanthropy of its would be master.
Boreas, in a frenzy, tore free of its chains, chains crafted to hold not the creature that it had become, but rather the creature that it was. It slew it summoner and burst into the wide world. It could not long abide being over earth, its antithesis, so it took to the sea. When a storm would sweep in off the sea and break upon a costal community, it would "ride" with the storm and do the same, at once benefitting from the cover and revelling in the chaos.
It made the Nocturnal Sea its favourite haunt and after a time a Borcan gentleman adventurer, one Josef Zhitoff who had secured for himself a small ship and appointed himself captain, got on the trail of "the Bad Wind." When it fell upon the fishing village of Mavalga in 755, he managed to proceed it and organise a sufficient defense to injure it and drive it off. For although the Bad Wind lives to kill, its preference is always to live to kill another day.
Chronology
755 The seaside hamlet of Mavalga is driven mad by the Bad Wind. The scope of the attack is somewhat blunted by the efforts of a Borcan aristocrat named Josef Zhitoff who captains the Bulwark and who has been hunting the Bad Wind for the last year. There are unconfirmed rumours of subsequent attacks along the coast of the Nocturnal Sea. [Unless there is a way for a ship to pass from the Sea of Sorrows to the Nocturnal Sea this should not happen before 751 and probably somewhat later; CoTN:F pg. 24-29]
