Wind-cult fanatics — elite Howling Hatred scouts who fight unarmored, move fast, and wield air magic. The party fought several inside Feathergale Spire during Session 04 alongside Feathergale Knights and Howling Hatred Initiates.

- Spellcasting (3rd-level sorcerer) — cantrips: *blade ward*, *gust*, *light*, *prestidigitation*; 1st: *feather fall*, *jump*, *thunderwave*; 2nd: *gust of wind*.

- Mixed in with Feathergale Knights and Howling Hatred Initiates as the party cleared the tower floor by floor.
