Plain wind

Plain winds are destructive and powerful winds that sweep across the land of Folkvangr on a regular basis. They are the reason for many communities to plant communal forests. Some regions suffer less from plain winds and are therefore popular settling spaces. One of the most important examples of such a region is the Northern Rifts, where large rifts shield agricultural land and settlements from the destructive force of plain winds, negating the need to plant communal forests.

Plain winds are feared across Folkvangr, but they tend to follow certain patterns, allowing for some regions to be completely shielded from them despite there being little elevation. Their destructive force include the ability to damage crops, buildings. In some extreme cases, it can cause danger to humans and livestock. Some communities have experienced destroyed property in the past.

The most well-known reoccuring plain wind is Satan's Breath, a reoccuring event near Babel that makes it impossible to inhabit a certain small valley north of Babel.
