Flames of Chaos

Worshippers of The Hearth may find themselves astray in the company of the Flames of Chaos, an organization dedicated to spreading the flames far and wide to cleanse the abominations that have plagued life and sullied the fires of their very lives.

Breath the smoke in deep, and choke. May your evils be expelled from you. And in your stupor, arise in the ash of the new world as her pheonix.

What is kept hidden is that the organization claims they are using the essence of The Hearth itself, but instead has taken the flame manufactured by an old and long-deceased wizard who thought they alone could rekindle the flames of life within.

Tenets and Beliefs

The Flames of Chaos believe there is something that has sullied The Hearth, and as its chosen people decreed by The Living Flame herself - leader of the organization and a flame elemental, it is their job to set the world right. What has been sullied can also not be saved. Like any rot, it must be cleansed or cut off.
Those taken into the warm (very warm) embrace of the organization are expected to use their fire magics in order to save the life around them. As such, cauterizing wounds and sterilizing equipment is common for the members of this group - as well as starting wildfires, creating famines by way of targetting key food storages, and the like.
It may indeed be hard to justify the suffering of a people who know not what harm they do, but by the grace of the Flames of Chaos, it is through this menace of the age that good will truly shine through and be recovered. As such, anyone may convert and be accepted into the organization - as all may be good kindling, but must survive a trial-by-fire to prove themselves a worthy asset.

The Living Flame Herself

The Living Flame is no creation of The Hearth, but of the hubris of man - like all good story elements. Birthed into this world by a hateful ritual with good intentions, The Living Flame rolled into existance with an insatiable hunger and sees the Hearth as competition. Her true aim is to steal the flames of the Hearth herself and let her tyranny reign so as to be fed until the heat death of the universe.
This is why the organization spends so much of their time "cleansing the land" by flame. As a flame elemental, she knows that without enough air, all flames die; the hope is to choke out The Hearth in order to take its place one all the fools that follow her necessarily perish.

Who would you tell that would believe you? You poor sullied thing - the smoke has clouded your mind. Go, and rest now. Breath in the air of the new world we create together. Yes, of course, together. I am with you always. Let me hold you, my child
