Church of Kossuth

The church of Kossuth is hierarchical and mostly impersonal. The Church's aims revolve around the acquisition of land, power and wealth. Compared to the many other gods, Kossuth and the three other Elemental Primordials are well known for their relative silence when it comes to communication with their worshipers. However, of the four, Kossuth was the most active and vocal.
Many Red wizards of Thay worshiped Kossuth and the Flaming Brazier of Eltabbar was supposedly the largest temple of Kossuth in all the realms.
After death, bodies of worshipers are cremated.

Monastic Orders within the Church of Kossuth

Kossuth's church had three different traditions of monk. Normally, monks lost the possibility to obtain further mastery over their monastic arts when they learned the arts of something else. Kossuth's monks though enjoyed more freedom. They could learn to become clerics of the Firelord without sacrificing their potential as monks. The three orders were: Kossuth'sses of the Phoenix was the good branch of the three. They rigidly ordered their members' studies and behaviors and put their focus on the purifying aspect of their deity.
Disciples of the Salamander was the evil branch of the three. They were seen necessary for the renewal aspect of their deity and some members' view on destruction bordered Talos'.
Brothers and Sisters of the Purifying Flame was the neutral branch of the three. Their goal was to strike a balance between purification and destruction and were acted as the go-in-betweens of the other two monasteries.
