Voice of the Silver Flame
Tira Miron, a paladin dedicated to Dol Arrah, received a powerful vision about this strange fire while exploring the realm's western reaches. In her vision, a tremendous rainbow-winged serpent warned her that a terrible evil was emerging in the east, riding crimson fire from Khyber's depths. Tira rallied Thrane's forces and defeated the dark creatures that had come to venerate the crimson fire and free the malevolent entity trapped within its flames. With her great sword Kloinjer, its pommel capped with a Khyber dragonshard, Tira turned to face the emerging demon just as the great serpent with the rainbow-feathered wings of her vision appeared and dove headfirst into the fire. Tira watched as the serpent and the demon struggled in the flames. The battle within the fire seemed to last for an eternity, and as she watched, the demon began to overcome the serpent. Horrified, she saw the demon strike a crippling blow. The serpent, calling on its last reserves of power, encircled the demon and buried its fangs into the fiend's fiery throat. At the same moment, it sent a mental plea to Tira, and the paladin didn't hesitate. She leaped into the fire, plunging Kloinjer through the writhing serpent and deep into the demon's flesh. Then, the legend says, a powerful explosion rocked the entire Empire of Galifar. The hot crimson fire became a cool silver flame. Tira remained within, now part of the divine fire that had replaced the evil conflagration. She became the Voice of the Silver Flame, and a new religion was born. Flamekeep, a simple stone castle, was erected around the everburning pillar of silver fire. Deep within the chasm, at the point where the fire erupts from the earth, it is said that mighty Kloinjer's blade is buried almost to the hilt, binding demon, serpent, and paladin together forever.
