The Consuming Flame
A religious order in an era that distrusts anything related to the divine, the Consuming Flame is welcome in none of the Great Cities and few of the Warbands tolerate a known member to live. Following in the footsteps of the Eternal Flame, they seek to claim and reignite the lost power of the gods, taking what was once enemy of the mortal races and turning it into strength. This heresy is seen as barely better than wishing to become an Ascended, and members of the cult are feared and hated. Still, many do wield great power, and that is the only thing that keeps them safe from their many enemies.
History
Raised by the Eternal Flame, the Consuming Flame periodically gutters out and dies down to a very small group of adherents, but flames back up when one obtains an Ascension or some other source of great power. As a militarily minded group, the Consuming Flame conquers small settlements to serve as bases of their operations, hoping one day to grow enough to again threaten the Great Cities.
