"Some Thunder Rebels seek to overcome the lack of seawinds anyhow. Luckily they think they have more than few ideas, including such as flooding the empire with big dragon -or- bringing down the whole of the immortal skyfall storm in one flush. They'd need not worry really that much. The whole Lozenge actually floats over on infinite sea. The Hurricane can come thus anywhere"
