The Lady of Fire

After the fall of the tyrant-mages, the world slowly began to suffer because of the outlawing of magic. Wresnet was vast, and its original rulers had maintained its infrastructure through magical means. As the last remnants of that magic faded, technology did not develop fast enough to efficiently maintain order. This resulted in a great deal of civil unrest and dissatisfaction. Out of this, a messiah arose. She said that The Lord of Smoke had come to her in dreams to show her the way to true salvation. Many people seeking a better life followed her, much to the chagrin of the established Order of Smoke. This figure, referred to by her followers as The Lady of Fire, led her people into the uninhabited frontiers of the East. For a century, few heard anything from them. It was not until their missionaries returned to spread the word of Ash to every town they passed through that Wresnet truly began to know The Chosen of Ash. Her followers believe that, after her death, The Lady of Fire ascended and became the wife of The Lord of Smoke. From there, the two of them judge the world and punish it for its sins.
