Storm by the water

It was a stormy night over Desrosa, The thunder kept booming and the Inquisition pyre was still firing off into the sky. The church had long since run out of criminal occupants of the city to torch to ash so they had the military start importing criminals from all around the world to feed the fires.

This night though was worst then most, even with mages out in full force to mitigate the winds blowing in from the ocean this storm was only building with power. Mighty bolts of lighting striking rods throughout the city but mostly landing on the highest pole.

They had hooked that lightning rod up to absorb raw energy that was sent to power the cities electric grid as the pole itself was an advanced artifact that pulled and converted that wild power into something of use to the remaining people who controlled that hell hole of a city.
