'''The Magma Vents''' were revealed to the world in 76 AM, when [[Alekmanhala]] freed himself from [[Lianthe|Lianthe's]] prison in the heart of the volcano found in [[Yhumara Lake]]. It is home to [[cherufe|cherufes]], [[vyurdrag]], [[araeca|the araeca]], and [[scorched|the scorched]]. | '''The Magma Vents''' were revealed to the modern world in 76 AM, when [[Alekmanhala]] freed himself from [[Lianthe|Lianthe's]] prison in the heart of the volcano found in [[Yhumara Lake]]. It is home to [[cherufe|cherufes]], [[vyurdrag]], [[araeca|the araeca]], and [[scorched|the scorched]]. As adventurers combed through the Vents, it quickly became clear that the Vents held more history and lore than could have been first imagined. | ||

*'''Jhaeros, the Guardian''' - Loose flames sporadically lick the air around this guardian of the araeca, wreathing his well-built frame in a magnificent crown of fiery feathers. A sharp beak pierces outward, curving into a shining point. Two large white eyes peers out from behind flaming lids, taking in the surrounding view. Massive wings, that spread to a wingspan of six feet, are tucked neatly besides each of his muscular arms. Flames twist and dance wildly down and around his long legs, ending abruptly at his vicious talons. | *'''Jhaeros, the Guardian''' - Loose flames sporadically lick the air around this guardian of the araeca, wreathing his well-built frame in a magnificent crown of fiery feathers.

*'''Altrop the Burner''' - This rather tall scorched woman stands nearly six feet in height, with features that could strike fear into her enemy's eyes. Her body is covered in a luminescent blue light, as her fire burns hot and close to her form. Pure-white eyes peer out from thick black eye-lashes, while a thin smile breaks upon her red lips. Red, orange, and yellow strands of hair cascade to her mid-back, each strand shimmering as if they were alight. Her body is draped in a fine black garment, the cloth treated to withstand her ever-burning flame. | |||
*''' Anastazy the Son''' - This rather tall and well-built scorched is clad in a set of filthy smithing garments. His leather apron is covered in ash and soot, while his once-white tunic is now brown from the grime of a forging weapon. His black slacks are decorated with several pockets, allowing him to hold several different hammers, tools, and knick-knacks that assist him in creating his items. His face is smeared in soot, making it difficult to pick out any real distinct features, however, at the base of his neck rests a tattoo that burns with an internal flame, its marking revealing his stature within the Core's hierarchy. | *''' Anastazy the Son''' - This rather tall and well-built scorched is clad in a set of filthy smithing garments.

* '''Droszus the Combustible Brawler''' - A gladiator of the Core, this proud scorched stands head and shoulders above his brethren. Most of his body is obscured by well cared for, ornate armour that has been blackened from the heat and soot of his homeland. The metal of his armour shifts eerily in colouration from the molten veining coursing over his dark hide. | * '''Droszus the Combustible Brawler''' - A gladiator of the Core, this proud scorched stands head and shoulders above his brethren.

*'''Drusilla the Mother''' - This rather large scorched stands nearly seven feet in height, making her massive body rather imposing to those of the smaller races. The molten flesh that keeps her body together is in a constant state of turmoil, as it cracks and sparks to life with each breath. Blackened crystehl armour clads most of her body, leaving the flame resistant clothing fairly hard to make out. Her breastplate is carefully etched with intricate designs from the magma pits, most of their meanings unknown to the world. Golden hair streaked with crimson and sapphire is pulled into a tight pony tail, her tresses cascading down to her lower back. Beads and strips of metal are twisted into her locks, a sign of high rank amongst her people. Clasped within her grip is a morning star, its long shaft crafted from pure metal, which burns from the touch of her flesh. The ball that tips the weapon is nearly two feet in diameter, its spikes protruding a good four to five inches from the fiery metal. | |||
* '''the Scorched Historian Idris''' - Standing nearly six feet in height, this scorched woman is dressed in a fine black robe. Her garments have been crafted from a strange and durable fabric, allowing them to withstand the fire that consumes them. Magma weaves through her burnt and charred flesh, creating her very life-force. Short, bright-golden hair fans out in several directions atop her head, the tips dyed with crimson and sapphire, granting the visage of dancing flames. Vibrant blue eyes peer out from her fiery features, as plump red lips curl into a near constant smile. | |||
*'''Morthil the Father''' - Standing just shy of seven feet, this scorched man is large and muscular. His entire body is chiseled and toned, though his charred skin is cracked and covered in a thick oil. Under each of the cracks along his flesh, magma can be seen coursing through his body. A large breastplate, covered in a sheen of blackened soot from being marred by flames, hangs from a clasp over his right shoulder and at each of his sides. Atop his left shoulder sits an intricate display of gems in various colours of yellow, orange and red, which is snuggly secured around his upper arm. Under his breastplate he dons clothing that has been crafted from a peculiar fabric to withstand the heat of his body and the flames that engulf them. His long, thick black hair is covered in the same oil that coats his body and has been pulled up and tied loosely behind his head. | |||
*'''Skotha the Daughter''' - This hale daughter of the Core stands proudly, her head lifted in pride. Her eyes are a culmination of fiery conflagration, and her hair matches their blazing intensity. Clad in a suit of blackened armour, its outline is traced in gold to further enhance the scenes illustrated upon the breastplate and graves, while the vambraces are consumed wholly in images of fire. Her oil-sheened skin is a dire shade of black, and bursts of vivacious fire spray molten colour over her dark flesh. | *'''Skotha the Daughter''' - This hale daughter of the Core stands proudly, her head lifted in pride.

* '''Zukaros the Fiery Heir''' - Possessing refined, almost effeminate features, this young scorched stands to an impressive height. His hair has been carefully coiffed, not a single strand out of place, and his skin is a robust mottling of brown and gold - catching the light in an attractive manner, the aureate inclusions of his oily flesh shimmers beautifully. A curious assortment of stone-worked jewelry adorns his hands, wrists, and neck, the blue crystalline structures veined in red. A diadem rests imperially upon his brow, its colouration stark when paired with his eyes of amber-red. Blackened armour more ornate than practical clads his form, its surface etched with esoteric scenes from history, each one illustrated beautifully and inset with gold. | * '''Zukaros the Fiery Heir''' - Possessing refined, almost effeminate features, this young scorched stands to an impressive height.

*'''[[World Forge|The World Forge]]''' - A crystalline forge found at the heart of the Vents, drawing from the Core's power to create weapons and armour of untold strength. It is rumored that there are similar forges placed throughout other planes of existence and that they can be activated to link up with each other to enhance their power, but their existence has never been proven. [[Avasyu]] granted Morthil the power to use the forge initially, but he passed along the duty to his son, Anastazy, who is now the primary operator of the forge and is responsible for keeping the weapons and tools of the people of the Vents sharpened and ready to protect the Core. | |||
