Storm Herold of Talos

Warlocks who forge a pact with Talos, the chaotic god of storms and destruction, become Storm Heralds. These dark disciples wield the fury of tempests and unleash the unbridled power of lightning and thunder upon their foes. Channeling the cataclysmic might of their patron, Storm Heralds bring forth chaos, devastation, and fear wherever they tread. They are the living embodiment of nature's wrath and the instruments of Talos' divine vengeance.
