The Burning Flame

Tejas, the Primordial Spirit of fire, was born from the chaotic energies of Astram within the Primordial Void when Daathir envisioned something vibrant and energetic in contrast to Dharas. Tejas emerged as a dynamic force of energy, capable of both creation and destruction.

Nature and Influence

Tejas's influence is felt throughout Adaris. It is the power that shapes metal into tools and weapons, the kiln that transforms clay into pottery, and the hearth that provides warmth and comfort. Tejas embodies the transformative power of fire, representing both the spark of creation and the force of destruction that clears the way for new beginnings.

Tejas is also a symbol of passion and energy, driving individuals to pursue their desires with intensity and fervor. The Spirit of fire is present wherever flames burn, from the smallest candle to the fiercest inferno, and its presence is a reminder of both the constructive and destructive potential of fire.

Realm of Tejas: Angarik, The Ember Cradle

The realm of Tejas, known as Angarik or "The Ember Cradle," is a domain of unending fire. Unlike the physical realm, Angarik is a vast expanse of pure flame, where fire exists in its most primal and unbridled form. It is a sea of never-ending fire, with no other elements present, only the roaring, crackling, and shifting of flames.

Angarik "sits" beneath the physical realm of Adaris, much like the atmosphere rests above. It is believed that certain phenomena in the physical world, such as volcanoes and roaring campfires, serve as direct doorways to this fiery domain. In these moments, the barrier between realms thins, allowing the raw energy of Tejas to burst forth into the world of Adaris.

Significance and Worship

Tejas is revered throughout Adaris as a symbol of transformation, passion, and purification. Temples and shrines dedicated to Tejas often feature eternal flames, fiery imagery, and rituals involving fire and heat.

Blacksmiths, artisans, and warriors seek Tejas's blessings for skill, inspiration, and the strength to overcome challenges. Those seeking to purify their hearts or overcome past traumas may participate in fire rituals or offer prayers to Tejas. Tejas is also invoked during festivals and celebrations, symbolizing the joy and energy that life brings.
