Cult of the Howling Hatred

The Cult of the Howling Hatred was a cult devoted to Yan-C-Bin and one of the four cults responsible of the Elemental Evil crisis.

Activities
The followers of elemental air called themselves the Cult of the Howling Hatred. They worshipped the destructive power of wind and storms, believing that those who venerated elemental air gained the power to punished those who have wronged them. More so than the members of the other cults, air cultists saw their beliefs as a means to an end. Destruction for its own sake wasn't particularly interesting, but destruction as an expression of personal freedom or to earn things wrongfully denied? That's a different story. The Cult of the Howling Hatred appealed to those who deal in perceptions over facts: illusionists, spies, and assassins, for example. Predatory or fierce winged creatures of any kind, even non-sentient monsters that would otherwise resist training, perceive the air cultists as allies and cooperate with them. Hippogriffs, griffons, and giant vultures were frequently used as air cult steeds.

Tactics and Philosophy
Howling Hatred cultists were clever, impulsive, and creative. They usually saw themselves as smarter, quicker, and more capable than others they meet. Howling Hatred cultists disliked open battle. They preferred to work in secret, using stealth and illusion to gain their ends with a minimum of force.

History
The start of the modern earth cult was when Aerisi Kalinoth recovered one of the four elemental weapons crafted centuries before by the drow archmage and Elder Elemental Eye cultist Vizeran DeVir

All culminated in 1491 DR when at in the Fane of the Eye, under the ruined dwarven city of Tyar-Besil, the same time of the other three elemental cults the air cultists tried to evoke Yan-C-Bin on Toril using members of a missing Mirabar diplomatic delegation and others captives as sacrifices. their efforts were however ruined by some adventurers.
