Ok here is what I have so far. The magic is a nod to RQ battle magic, but I want to add a few boisterous boys feats too. I suspect that the Thunder Brothers magic varies from clan to clan depending on which of the the faceless masses the locals remember.
The Thunder Brothers
The Thunder Brothers are the second and third generation of Storm
Gods, the thanes of Orlanth's clan. They are often treated as a
collective in myths. Some are important enough to be worshipped as
sub-cults of Orlanth such as Finovan or Hedkoranth, but most are
unknown outside roles as clan patrons or wyters. When the clan
gathers to worship the men are considered to be the Thunder
Brothers. Everyone remembers the Brother's deeds on Brother's Day in
Storm Season.
Full time warriors tend to worship one of the named Thunder Brothers
and do not have need of this magic, but farmers and herdsman who
form up with the fyrd, especially those who join the short-call,
often join to gain some fighting magic in times of trouble.

particularly members of the short call.
