Lots on Kero Fin in Thunder Rebels and how she figures in the mythos. Short form: She's The Greatest Mountain. And that's where the Storm Tribe lives. Its where all good Orlanthi fly to on the holy days (at least, all the ones in DP, Heortland and the southern Empire. I'd suspect there will be even more in Storm Tribe.
