Storm Rider

Storm Riders look to the skies and use the natural forces that come from it. Some live in the mountains and let the clouds roll over them, others choose to hunt down air elementals using their own methods. Cloud Giants are known to employ Storm Riders to guard their homes and do their biddings. Most choose a nomadic lifestyle, letting the winds direct their actions. They can be seen storm chasing for fun, challenging the god of storms to do their worst.
