I've got an idea for "Belor," but I'd love some help making it align with the lore

Setting

In the Hundred Kingdoms section of 3E's "Across the Eight Directions," we get this little blurb:

"In Belor, a commune of ascetics high in the northern mountains, the senior monk disappeared weeks ago. Some of his brethren believe he’s conferring with their god at an isolated mountaintop shrine. Others suspect foul play."

Since I'm trying to use a lot of my scenarios to introduce my players to the lore of Creation, I'm thinking to restyle this as an Immaculate monastery (specifically Lookshy's Immaculate Faith, since it's more popular in the Scavenger Lands). I'm also thinking about having some monks be part of a cult for a local weather god, and they've abducted the abbot for some ritual.

So I've got some questions to help me flesh this out:

  • I know there are Storm Mother gods in the West, but I don't know much about weather gods in general. How would they interact with air and water elementals? Would the storm god have a spirit court that includes these elementals?
  • I don't actually know why a storm god's cult would abduct an Immaculate abbot. Is there anything you can think of that would make sense?

Thanks in advance!
