 Stormcaller madra is yellow and blue lightning. These cultists crackle with lightning. Their Goldsign is scripted rings of blue-gold lightning, ringing their biceps.

 ==Death of Dawnwing Sect==
 Some time ago, the Weeping Dragon passed over the Iceflower Continent and vicious Stormcallers wrought havoc in its wake. [[Ziel]] lost his entire Dawnwing sect to the Stormcallers. The Sage also mangled Ziel’s spirit / core.

Dreadgods couldn't be blamed for the destruction they caused; he might as well shout at a hurricane for daring to flood his house. It was the Dreadgod cultists that had stoked his rage, as they looted and pillaged in their master's wake. They had chased down the fleeing Dawnwing sect as rain and thunder poured from the sky. Ziel had stayed behind to hold them off as his junior disciples and students escaped. It hadn't worked. As it turned out, one of the Weeping Dragon's lightning strikes had caused a landslide that wiped them all out. (Uncrowned, ch 14) </blockquote >

 '''The Sage of Calling Storms''' is the leader of the cult. The Storm Sage is evil, mutilating  [[Ziel|Ziel’s]] spirit and forcing him to watch his Dawnwing Sect get slaughtered, some years ago on the Iceflower Continent. The Sage only appears in Ziel’s memories so far, and we do not even have a  name yet. Could the Sage even possibly be a woman??
 <blockquote> Ziel's duel with the Sage of Calling Storms had been for nothing. He had lost, of course. Even at the height of his power, he was no Sage. And instead of killing him, the leader of the Stormcaller cult had mutilated him. Cutting apart his spirit and stitching it together...wrong. Afterward, he had been allowed to live. Forced to live, almost. He was no threat to the Storm Sage, no threat to the Stormcallers without a sect behind him, and certainly no threat to the Weeping Dragon. He had drifted along like a dead leaf on the wind, formerly one of the proud geniuses of the Iceflower continent. (Uncrowned, ch 14) </blockquote>
