Tornadoes are called <rpLqqkjg>, from <rpLqg> (wind) + <qkj> (fell, evil). This term is the standard word referring to a tornado in Commonthroat. Yinrih synthesizing English often refer to tornadoes as fellwinds. The word comes from a particular branch of Misotheism. The misotheists, as mentioned earlier, believe that the ideas, beliefs, and emotions of sophonts manifest as entities with agency from the noosphere, with particularly potent emotions or widespread beliefs having more agency over the real world. Fellwinds are said to be incarnations of existential dread or the fear of mortality. They exist only briefly, and spend their fleeting existence causing as much chaos as possible.

Tornadoes (tornadic waterspouts if you want to be pedantic) are common on Sweetwater, where the increased insolation and abundant moisture provide fertile conditions for them to form. The surface of Sweetwater is also where many misotheist groups make their home.
