Incinerin Character in Galfin | World Anvil

Incinerin

As a demon touched creature, you have lived your life in servitude to the monks. You have seen nothing else then the ash ridden clouds covering the crevace your monastary was tucked away into. Most of your days are spent toiling away cleaning up after the members of the order. You tend to the Phoenix as your master insists. These birds bring lifeblood to the monastary by allowing men to be reborn into the doctrine of their leader Incinerin. He is a charismatic fire elf who has a certain way with the fiery birds. The monks here are trained by Incinerin, they were saved by Incinerin and they bask in the glory of his presence.   Above you lies the Peak, the tallest mountain in the province of the Firefang Jags. The cultured fire elf city of Emberstreak uses the Peak as a form of execution, their Edge Garroters drag criminals up the thousand stairs to atone for their crimes. More often than not they are deemed unsavable and pushed from the cliff. In these moments, Incinerin decides whether to act or let the criminals fall from the heavens, landing within sight of his monks. If Incinerin decides to save them, he sends his pet Phoenix into the sky to catch the convicted, searing their bodies in the act. He sees this as purging their sins away through the purity of fire.   Incinerin is an agent of order, he gathers up the forgotten scum of society and places them together to build a strong hearth.   You were born in a village atop the mountains where the people couldn't stand the sight of you and tossed you over the Peak as a baby. Incinerin saved you and brought you into his home. You were not treated as a daughter though, you have been a servant of his slowly growing brotherhood.   Inside his chambers there was a crystal ball with two flames constantly flickering inside, a white and black flame. There was also ancient texts reading about a time before it was man versus elf, a time where it was everyone versus the beasts. Also upon his wall there were many hides of old dragons passed down by his ancestors. When you were young you would ask about his collection and he would tell you stories.   The first was about how the flames represented order and chaos within the world. They end up balancing most times but he dreams of a world where the black flame overcomes the chaotic white. The ebbs and flows of the world events constantly causes shifts. His order was founded a very long time ago when the fire was pure white, where chaos spread across the realm. His order fought against a god itself. In their minds, the Dragon god of Order and Chaos had grown lazy. Dragons roamed the land killing and stealing everything in their wake. These were emissaries of Synapsid the dragon king and the white flame burned brightly for centuries. People and elven kind had had enough and banded together to slay all the chaotic dragons, leaving them a rarity inside Galfin.   Another story he told was that of the kingfisher bird. This bird would hunt in a unique way, it would catch its lizard prey and not only kill it, it would beat the body of the lizard against the ground, again and again and again, long past the point of being dead, it would continue crushing the lizard until its bones were shards and any hope of breaking free was gone. Even once it knew it won, it would beat the lizard to show it where its place was. This is why Incinerins order claimed the name the Kingfishers, they are ancient dragon hunters who await a day when chaos usurps control and they are needed once more.   In the later years, before you left, Incinerin began experimenting on your demon lineage, he kept trying to imbue you with a small amount of power from the Dragon king Synapsid. The procedure was very painful but he believed that the best way to kill a dragon was to have part of it flow through you. His kind gestures grew scarce as you realized that he only ever intended for you to be a weapon.   Steal the crystal ball as you wander the world.
