The Fire Clan

---

Background
Fire clan is the third clan that was founded, whose totem god is Besir Dalduious. One of their most notable features is the theme of Duality, where fire is the warmth and comfort but also destroyer and a danger to be handled with caution. They apply this to their studies at the castle by focusing on the possible side effects and risks that any magical action they perform might have, and try their best to balance the amount of magic that they take out of the world and put back in. It is believed that mages who take too much are often bitter, angry, and quick to destroy, and those that give too much are cold, reserved, and lack warmth and confidence. Fire mages typically use a wide arrange of spells, as their main calling is typically seen as too dangerous to learn on the castle grounds until they have reached a higher grade. Typically, though, a Fire mage will do their best to find a balance between learning non-related and related studies by practicing in secrecy.

Magic and Elemental Affinity
As mentioned, magic use is typically treated as a balancing act. Mages of the fire inclination are typically going to do their best to dispel for every summon they perform, and destroy for everything they create. However, another cornerstone of Fire mages is their eccentricity and focus on elegance and excitement- which leads to great ballroom parties that often last for days, with intricate fireworks to show off skill and clothing enchanted with flame. It is exceptionally hard for mages of other elements to get into these parties; and the few that have managed to sneak in are the reason that we know anything about them- as many fire mages like to consider these parties cheat days for their magic diets.

Ties to Other Clans
There is rumors that the great Duo-wyrm is partly the reason behind the existence of the Drachenlieche Drefni Narucka; but not many stories have been found to reveal the past of this twisted beast.

Morals
Fire clan members are more likely to judge others with the thought that their actions should recieve an equal punishment as balance. They do not condone violence in their solution, though, but take an approach that someone should put in effort back into the world equal to the amount of effort that they took away, and that straight punishment that leaves out returning what was taken is no solution at all.

Past Battles
There was a long lasted war from 217-234 that was between Leaf clan and Fire clan. The worst casualty was the loss of the Fire clan lead castle, where it was turned to rubble by overgrown trees in revenge during a celebration ball. Many Fire mages hold a grudge over this loss.

Demi-Magics
There is speculation the demi-magic between Fire and Stone being change, rebirth, and balance; however, this has not occurred.

Stance on the Edgelands
Fire clan members view the edgelands as an entity that has lost its balance, and in turn thrown the world into chaos. They believe that fighting back the edgelands and reclaiming ground until it is even will return the world back to its rightful place and restore peace.
