Summer:
The largest typhoon ever seen struck the lands of the Crane, dealing a harsh blow to their infrastructure and peasant population, hampering their ability to produce even half of what their clan used to in terms of food, goods, and art. Unknown to anyone other than the Phoenix Elemental Council, the Tsunami was a backlash from a spell the Masters attempted to cast to ease the burden of a strange and mysterious imbalance in the elements. Unknown to the Phoenix however, the Mantis may also be to blame as Yoritomo led a raid and stole the ancient relic, The Heart of the Mountain.
