  36.  │  brought another winner to the table and we're proud to bring it to you.  │
  37.  │                                                                           │
  38.  │  Nimbus: a mythical world comprised of warring sky-borne islands and      │
  39.  │  violent weather conditions. This is more than a kingdom in the air:      │
  40.  │  this is your battleground.                                               │
  41.  │  Each tribe of the bitterly divided Nimbian people lives on its own       │
  42.  │  island; one of them is yours. Each island has its own Temple, dedicated  │
  43.  │  to one of the three Furies -- Rain, Wind and Thunder -- which are locked │
  44.  │  in eternal stuggle like the Nimbians the mselves. You must help your     │
  45.  │  own Nimbian tribe to protect its powerful High Priest, who alone has the │
  46.  │  ability to harness Storm Power, the essence of all creation and          │
  47.  │  destruction.                                                             │
  48.  │                                                                           │
  49.  │  While the Furies are pleased with the proliferation of Temples in their  │
  50.  │  honor, they are most pleased with the sacrifice of enemy High Priests    │
  51.  │  at the altars of their temples.                                          │
  52.  │                                                                           │
