Flame Bloodline
A
man endures harrowing trails to stand before a
being of inscrutable flame promising unerring
loyalty of him and his family in exchange for
power. The being agrees to grant the man and
his descendants control over Fire. An old
woman with grey hair places a newborn in the
embers of a hearth smiling sweetly as she
smears ashen runes on the child's forehead speaking ancient
incantations as flames rise and engulf the child while doing
no harm sheltering them from the cold better than any
blanket. An aging wizard recites a lost incantation opening a
portal to a magnificent palace of brass. As he steps through
the Wizard finds himself standing before an aged Efreet of
great power swearing an oath of fealty that shall transcend
generations.
These pacts and rituals are different but all similar as they
all represent the beginning of a Sorcerer’s Bloodline.
Sorcerers of a Flame Bloodline have an innate and
undeniable connection to Fire. These Sorcerers called
Pyromancers by the common folk often suffer prejudice and
wary glances as their powers grow and people fear the
devastation they can cause prompting many to become
adventurers.
The Burden of Flame
A Flame Sorcerers heritage while it can be seen as a gift of
powerful magic they also bare a great burden for the deal
which provides them their power typically comes with an
insurmountable debt to a higher entity whom they may never
meet and that debt can never be paid by normal means. No
amount of service can pay it off and even death of the patron
may only diminish the power for future generations.
Many Flame Sorcerers never know of their heritage until
they wake to find their bed in flames or look to realize a limb
has been wreathed in flame but they felt no pain but once
their heritage has been awakened it is nearly impossible to
hide it as a Flame Sorcerer often smells of smoke, are
uncharacteristically warm or covered in soot for no
discernable reason if they are lucky. Those who are unlucky
may have harmless Flames trail them, glowing embers
embedded in the skin, or have fiery runes seared onto the
skin which glows through all fabric.
