Phoenix

In the ever burning Fire Realm dwell mythical beings of fire, knowledge and rebirth – the Phoenixes. Adorned with feathers made of living flames, each emitting a soft, radiant glow, these creatures possess an ethereal plumage that serves both as a symbol of their divine nature and a source of light. Illuminating the darkest corners of the volcanic peaks and molten plateaus, their radiant feathers bring life and warmth to the intense landscape. When a Phoenix takes flight, its celestial wings leave behind trails of living fire, a mesmerizing display of radiant arcs that paint the sky with ephemeral patterns. The ethereal trails, a ballet of flames, linger in the air, casting a warm and gentle glow upon the landscape below. These luminous streaks, like the Phoenixes themselves, become a beacon of hope amidst the fiery tapestry of the Fire Realm.
    These celestial beings make their lairs high atop the hidden mountain peaks, in sanctuaries of pure energy. These nests are constructed from ethereal flames, and are conduits for the elemental energies that sustain the Phoenixes.       Deeply connected to the emotional currents of Rixara, the First Flame, Phoenixes exhibit behaviors and appearances influenced by her emotional state. Their flames flicker brightly during times of passion and burn low during moments of calm, with the colors of their feathers reflecting the prevailing mood of the Goddess.       Aside from Miros, Phoenixes stand as the only creatures gifted with the ability to traverse seamlessly between the blazing expanses of the Fire Realm and the mortal lands. Their feathers, conduits of elemental energies, act as ephemeral bridges, weaving between realms with grace. When a Phoenix descends from the celestial heights, its arrival in the Mortal Realm is marked by a cascade of sparks, heralding the convergence of two worlds.       Phoenixes travel to the Mortal Realm to exchange wisdom and knowledge with mortal beings. They visit sages, scholars, and seekers of enlightenment, sharing insights from the elemental forces and contributing to the collective understanding on the nature of fire. Additionally, the Mortal Realm, facing periods of desolation and decay, calls upon Phoenixes for rejuvenation. When summoned by ancient rituals, Phoenixes bring with them the essence of fiery renewal, revitalizing barren lands and fostering the growth of vibrant ecosystems. Lastly, during times of celestial significance, they manifest in the Mortal Realm, becoming symbols of hope, inspiration and the cycle of life and rebirth.       Legend has it that when a Phoenix dies, its flames cascade down the mountainside, leaving behind trails of living fire that shape the landscape. And when they are reborn, they emit a melodious song resonating with the elemental energies of the Fire Realm. This enchanting song is believed to have a rejuvenating effect on the landscape, encouraging the growth of fiery flora. The ashes left behind by a reborn Phoenix not only possess regenerative properties but also act as catalysts for the rapid growth of vegetation, creating vibrant oases amidst the harsh and intense landscape.      
When a Phoenix is reborn, it carries with it the accumulated knowledge and experiences of its previous life. And the sacred duty they ardently uphold is to share this wisdom with other inhabitants, contributing to the collective understanding of the elemental forces and fostering growth and enlightenment. To uphold this purpose, Phoenixes engage in elaborate rituals, gatherings known as "Flame Councils", as soon as one is reborn. During these meetings, they exchange knowledge and experiences with one another. The mesmerizing dances of flames witnessed are said to be a spectacle visible even from the deepest caverns below, marking the convergence of divine wisdom and elemental forces that define the essence of the Fire Realm.
