Storm Heralds

(see Dwarves) During the relative isolation before the exodus, the outpost dwarves were mostly left to fend for themselves on the surface. At the mercy of the many northern storms, ash storms, and blizzards, it was not an easy life. To make things a bit more manageable, they created the Storm Heralds, a group of dwarves meant to help deal with the violent weather of their home. Created from an old forge tending method it eventually evolved into a method of summoning or quieting a storm. After the Exodus, these heralds were reformed and divided between the storm tenders, and the the storm heralds. The tenders did as their name implied, ensuring the now important trade lines were maintained, while the heralds were a division of the military meant to use their powers to assault their foes.
