Legacy of Fire

Lore & Background

Over millennia, the 'Legacy of Fire' became intertwined with the schemes of Asmodeus. The Devil Lord sought to corrupt this ancient power, turning it into a tool for tyranny and enslavement rather than creation. This conflict is visible in modern adventures where players uncover ruins containing Firstborn technology or face fire giants who guard secrets that could reshape the balance between the material plane and the Abyss.

In Their Own Story

The embers of the old world still glow beneath the ash of Ruins of Kintara. A lone scholar brushes away centuries of dust, revealing a sigil that hums with heat. The air grows thick, smelling of ozone and sulfur. Somewhere in the darkness, eyes open—amber and burning. They remember the Firstborn. They remember the fire.
