The story of the Raging Storm discipline begins long ago, during the War in Heaven when gods and monsters vied for supremacy on the Wheel. While the Syrne and the Modrontyr fought seeking hegemony, a lone dragon instead sought titanomachy, fighting to cast down the precursors and free the Wheel from their folly. The first recorded exalt is said to be a blooded descendant of this dragon, who united his ancestor's fulminating magic with Syrneth steel into the javelin said to have struck the final blow against the Void Dragon, sealing away the C'tan and making way for life to flourish upon the Wheel.
The key skill for the Raging Storm discipline is Command, following from the myth of the warrior-king who pioneered it during the War in Heaven. The school favors Cavalry weapons, especially spears that can be hurled long distances or thrust into nearby foes with equal accuracy.
