Therindel, Forgemaster, Lord of Ember and Renewal – The Emberlord
Domains: Controlled Fire, Craft, Innovation
Alignment: Neutral
Therindel represents fire as a tool rather than a weapon. He is invoked by smiths, alchemists, and inventors seeking inspiration. Unlike Vyrathys, whose fire consumes, Therindel’s flames refine and shape, encouraging innovation and mastery. Myths recount him appearing as sparks dancing along a forge or as embers illuminating new ideas.
Temples often double as workshops, with ritual fires kept burning as a symbol of progress and perseverance. His influence extends to controlled experimentation, from metallurgy to magical craft, and earthquakes or minor eruptions linked to him are seen as tests rather than punishments.
Lore & Sayings:
- “Where Therindel’s ember glows, creation begins.”
- Alchemists keep small ember shrines in labs.
- Forgers sometimes dedicate first pieces of the day to him.
Symbol: A Flame above an Anvil, sometimes an Anvil surrounded by flame.
