Kossuth
The Lord of Flames, the Firelord, the Tyrant Among Fire, Tyrant Among Fire Elements
Kossuth is the god of fire, creatures of fire, and purification through fire. The Lord of Flames, like the rest of the elemental gods, seeks to promote elemental fire above the other elements, gaining supremacy in the eternal balance.
Followers of Kossuth go through the Oath of Firewalking, a ritual where acolytes become full priests by walking across hot coals. This ritual is often repeated as formal priests and priestesses rise in rank in the church, with the walk becoming longer and hotter. It is believed that those who plot against the church or who aren’t devoted to the faith will find themselves terribly injured by the trial.
Shrines, temples, and chapels to Kossuth are popular near areas of fire and heat, especially deserts and volcanoes. The birthdate of each temple’s head clergy member is a celebrated holiday, during which clergy from other faiths and local leaders are invited to the temple and lavished with food and gifts. This is primarily seen as an opportunity for the head priest or priestess to forge and strengthen relationships with the local community to the temple’s advantage.
