Background – Faction Agent
The Followers of the Flame are dedicated to the beliefs of the Sphere of Energy and the superiority of Fire over other elements..
Followers of the Flame in Mystara
They are spread wherever there are groups of fire aspected races.
The principle of Energy is associated with activity and chaos, as well as the magical schools of Evocation and Illusion and the element of fire. Energy dominates Matter by making it unstable, opposes Thought’s categorisation, and is subject to Time’s organisation. Fire burns earth and is in turn quenched by water.
Principles of Energy – Followed by all variations of the Followers of the Flame.
- True to Flame: Being adaptable to change, willing to try new things and a desire to be active.
- Energy vs Matter: You desire to make matter unstable, such as reshaping the world around you, changing elements with another, or simply changing the state of things like water.
- Energy vs Thought: You desire not to become another categorisation of thought by reinventing yourself, pushing your boundaries, and being willing to be something more than you were.
- Energy vs Time: You struggle against the organisation of time that sets the bounds of your actions.
- Energy vs Entropy: You strive to hold together against entropy attempt to dissipate your efforts.
