Daetro

Wayward God of Fire, Minor Deity

Lord of the flame, Daetro is the spirit of fire and the molten expanses that exist in Zol. A benevolent being who’s concerns rarely extend outside of it’s domain. Academic evidence found in The Grand Nothing indicates that Daetro is one half of a greater being that was fractured into two parts. Its other half being Eptro, who it seems to act opposite to.

A vaguely humanoid shape formed of pure flame, burning cloth, or molten rock. The heat given off from his presence typically destroys the surrounding environment.

The Ferric Alphabet symbol of fire.

Daetro is known to be a protective and benevolent being to those who reside in his domain, as long as they follow his rule.

Known to regularly communicate with his followers, Daetro demands worship and sacrifice in turn for good fortune and protection. Those who take a stance against Daetro’s rule are cast out or pursued by his envoys.

Despite the similarity in domain, Daetro has a particular distaste for the Church of Three Fires, and the beliefs around it. It presumed that this is because of a dispute over the ownership of fire.

Daetro resides in The Kulpis Desert. He moves all about this space, but is known to spend much of his time in Mount Zerstel, the volcano nearest to the oasis city of Rockfire.

Most of Daetro’s followers reside in the city of Rockfire. Worshiping his fire and the gifts he gives. His relationship with the city is almost like that of some great king. He aids in the appointment of rulers and grand decisions. Daetro is likely the most physically present god in Zol.

Clergy will seek hermitage inside of Mount Zerstel and congregations will regularly cast sacrifices into the volcano itself.

Some nomadic individuals will travel Zol spreading the word of Daetro.
