Sun-Bright Whirlwind

SETUP

Put 3 on your starting board: 1 in the highest-numbered Sands, 2 in the lowest-numbered Mountain.

PLAY STYLE

Incredibly good at handling , clearing newly-Explored lands of Invaders so they don't Build there. Not nearly so good at dealing with /.

Can focus on Energy and largely forego its Innate Power, focus on Plays to aim for mid-to-high Innate thresholds, or strike a more balanced path. Adds at most 1 per turn, so there won't be time to do it all.

From the Spirit Panel

Sun-Bright Whirlwind is a Spirit of sun-warmed and gusting air. It spins leaves and dust into miniature cyclones, playfully snatches at small unsecured objects, and sometimes - when joyful, or upset, or full of the vigor of nature - howls across the island, bending trees and abrading the landscape with pebbles, twigs, shells, and the occasional bird nest.

Some Dahan take its appearance as a good sign for travel, and others have tried asking it to help bring messages to those far away - with mixed success, as it tends to lightly prank the recipients by mixing the messages' words all about.
