Ragna
Looking over the Coliseum is a massive statue of the Goddess of War, self-sacrifice, battle, courage, and heroism. The statue depicts a fire genasi woman with dreadlocks that fade to molten lava as they cascade down her back. The tallies on her arm are to represent her victories – on the battlefield, in the Coliseum. While this image is the most common depiction of the Goddess of War, those who have spent any amount of time in the Coliseum are familiar with another depiction: a woman composed entirely of fire, covered in obsidian armor, who has no qualms wreaking havoc against all those who have displeased her. It is said that when her worship is upheld and she is otherwise pleased, the statue of a fire genasi persists, but the moment she becomes displeased, there is nothing that can stop the fiery inferno of Ragna's rage.

Tenets of Faith
Courage in the Face of Fear – Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is the willingness to take action when one is terrified. Courage is the ability to overcome the temptation to simply give into fear, to lock up and freeze. Followers of Ragna train, meditate, and dedicate their lives to being able to overcome any and all fears so that they may face any threat, enemy, or obstacle head-on.
Honorable Defenders – It is the greatest honor for a warrior of Ragna to die in combat. Yet death should not be sought out. Rather, followers of Ragna must be prepared to put their own lives aside in order to protect their brothers and sisters-in-arms and those who are too weak to defend themselves. The opportunity to sacrifice oneself should not be sought, but it should be embraced without hesitation should it be presented.
Embracing Emotions – Draw strength from your rage. Draw strength from your passion. Draw strength from your sorrow. Emotions provide a strong force to drive warriors forward into greatness. It permits them to perform incredible feats in the heat of a battle. One should seek to embrace their emotions and learn to channel them. One's emotions are like fire, they must be carefully tended to... else they may grow cold and die... or swell to a roaring inferno that can no longer be contained.
