Storm Herald

Among the clergy of the Stormcaller Church, there exists a prestigious title known as Storm Herald. This title is bestowed upon the most devout and powerful cleric or paladin chosen by the god to be their earthly champion. The Storm Herald is seen as the conduit through which Thumir channels their divine will, wielding the fury of the storms to protect the faithful and smite their enemies.
