Lore
The fire folk were seen as the warmongers of the world. While their personalities and convictions can be vibrant and passionate, this view of them is mostly unearned. Fire folk do have passion, but channel it into the pursuits shared by other races. Love, respect, community, family. Having a zest for life is a hallmark of the fire folk, and it manifests in their daily lives.
