Ember

Usually known as the Ember Dominance, this area is a range of volcanic mountains to the west of the Iron Empire. These volcanoes spew fire and ash into the sky, littering the land in embers. The trees are charred corpses, and the land is grey with soot. However, found within these volcanoes is a rare metal unique to the area and situation: Aether. For this reason, the people of the Ember Dominance have remained in the dangerous and infertile land, learning to live at the base of volcanoes. Aether is incredibly profitable. The main use of Aether is why it is so expensive and the mining of it able to support an entire Dominance. It is the only element that draws out the fifth element of a soul in Soulweaving: the Arcane. None know the origin of Aether but know that it is a pure element of the Gods found deep in volcanic mines.
Ember soulsmiths have mastered a unique technique of alloying sulfur with Iron, giving the wearer the ability to alight their armor in fire. The Souls of the Burning King are a group in Ember kept secret since Ember’s occupation by Iron. They are elite troops that can only fight all out once. They wear Sulfur and Iron armor and when they go into battle, they expel their own soul slowly out of their body, draining their life away, but empowering the fire lily-infused armor. The soul alights from the fire lily, and the sulfur transforms the fire into a magical blaze that encompasses the wielder and protects them and harms enemies. The Souls of the Burning King can only do this for so long, roughly an hour, and then they die.
Notable locations in the Ember Dominance:

Mount Fort
Hardfell
South Volcano
Dragonsbreath - Crown City
Firelands - plains to the south that border The Shield . The Firelands are plagued by Firestorms, caused by the sulfuric air perforated by the active volcanoes to the north, the sulfur ignites souls in a Burnstorm and causes them to erupt in flames. Storms of fire, tornadoes of flame, and infernal strikes are commonplace in the Firelands.
