Ash Quasielementals

Familiarity: The Empire of Former Flame dispatches quasielementals to make contact with those who might aid them in their "cold war" against the plane of Fire. To summon an ash quasielemental on the plane of Ash, snuff a flame and softly call for the spirits of former flame.

Demands: Snuff spirits ask those who would remain their friends to help them hurt things and entities of flame, heat, and passion.

Benefits: Ash spirits can act as guides and allies. The very powerful grant shamans, quasielemental priests, witches and sha'irs spells dealing with negative energy and cold.

History: In the Old Days, the spirits of Fire swept across the landscapes of the planes, creating and destroying, smelting and forging. The other spirits began complaining about what a nuisance they were, and eventually the gods got together to help control Fire's relentless shaping. "Fire," they said, "from now on there will be things you can burn only once, and afterwards they will remain, forever unburnable, and will strive against you. It was in this spirit that they took some of the most reckless Burners and killed them, bringing them back to sentience as ash quasielementals, who cannot burn or even join their former siblings, instead draining from their vicinities everything they once loved. The ash quasielementals hungrily seek to extinguish all the fire there is in the hopes that this will banish their feelings of loss and lack.

Spiritual correspondences: The quenching of outer and inner fire, the quenching of life, and the ending of the power to create, shape, and destroy.

Material correspondences: Ashes.

Taboos: Ash quasielementals must avoid Fire.

Attitude: Ash quasielementals meet strangers eagerly, aware of the effect their presences have.
