We all have one, that place where we keep all the really cool ideas that just don't fit in the world we've built. What you got? What's that cool thing you made that toy can't really use?

A lawful neutral (as in the dispassionate laws of nature) god of wind and weather called the Storm Archon. It takes the form of an everlasting stationary tornado and speaks through thunder echoed off of the hills behind it. A party of adventurers, angry at their hometown being destroyed in a storm, does what all good little JRPG protags do and goes on a quest to kill the god. They succeed in committing deicide, but as they journey home they notice the rain stops and the air becomes stagnant. They've doomed their world to a slow death as the atmosphere gradually dies.

Oh shit, that would be such a heavy ending. Just this slow and somber decline after what you had believed was a triumph.
