Flamebound Pantheon
The Flamebound Pantheon is a volatile collection of deities, demigods, and elemental forces revered across Emberfall. Bound by fire, oath, and conquest, they represent not merely flame as a natural force—but flame as domination, destruction, rebirth, and sacrifice. Worship in Emberfall is transactional and brutal; gods grant strength and power in exchange for loyalty, offering, or blood.
Though most deities are flame-aligned, the Crackling Maw—an ice-based being of paradox and pain—is also included, its presence reinforcing the belief that even cold must serve or suffer under flame.
Worship
Flamebound worship is active, visceral, and public. Sacrifices range from fire-duels, branding, and bloodletting, to the offering of bound spirits or forged weapons. No prayer is complete without the scent of something burning. The temples, especially within Zraggodh’s Pyrestep district, act as arenas, crematoriums, and altars all at once.
