Pyropheastus is one of the Primordial Outer Realms that make up the outer shell of the Realmsphere. It is the realm of fire and logic, and its influence provides Terra Aletheia with flame, volcanoes and heat, as well as influencing the mortal citizens to plan and rationalize, in order to solve problems. The Erraté Ax Mystia, a cunning and meticulous god, rules the fiery, volcanic realm, and oversees the many courts and kingdoms within its borders.

## Description

A realm of fiery, burning air and lava-cracked ground, Pyropheastus is as inhospitable as it is complicated. The denizens of the realm are well adapted to its harsh climate, but cross-realm travelers soon find themselves exhausted and overworked when travelling across the arid realm of fire. Visually, the realm is characterized by red, flaming skies and flowing, shifting ground formed from lava flats.

Interspersed among these lava flats are the many cities and settlements of Pyropheastus. Each one is typically affiliated and situated within one of the Lesser Domains of the Emperors of Flame, the ruling clade of Ishnubar who directly serve Ax Mystia. Much like their divine master, the citizens of Pyropheastus crave order and structure, using this scaffold to better climb the ranks of society. Individual cities have their own distinct courts, while also participating in larger, regional political apparatus. These then climb higher still into the courts of each Lesser Domain, culminating in the Grand Court of the Schemer, Ax Mystia's personal theatre of politics and the structure that governs the entire realm.

Most of these cities are inhabited by various ethnicities of Infernal, a race of elves that have been warped by fire to better adapt to the realm, though there are hundreds of other Kinfolk and Otherkin that inhabit Pyropheastus. The winged, fiery Phoenicians are often found in the upper ranks of a city, while their more diminutive cousins the Tsurubi are nearly as widespread as Infernals. Surtae are the most prolific Realmtouched people, the devil-like beings ascending and populating almost all rungs of society.

Compared to the other Outer Realms, Pyropheastus is notable for its rigorous societal structure and rules, as well as its inhabitants adherence to them. Ax Mystia is draconian in his enforcement of logic and law, and so the denizens of Pyropheastus have embraced a similar mentality. Even the more bestial Otherkin entities of the realm, such as Infernus giants or flame elementals, are bound to a certain level of expectation that their equivalent from another realm might ignore. The most stark exception to this rule however, are dragons. It is Fire Dragons who as a collective hold the most favor with Ax Mystia, and they are encouraged to act according to their, whatever that may be. Some buy into the structured nature of the realm, conquering and ruling entire kingdoms, while others instead embody the wild carnage of fire as they rampaged wildly throughout the realms.

## The Emperors of Flame

A group of Íshnubar drawn from the chosen Primordial champions of Ax Mystia, the Emperors of Flame as a collective are a strict and ordered group. Each one embodies an aspect of their master in some way, and their own Lesser Domains are reflections of themselves. The Lesser Domains of the Emperors of Flame are:

* Meteiro, Domain of Politics and Meteors
* Messianis, Domain of Truth and Hearthfire
* Ashurbani, Domain of Knowledge and Ash
* Aemyrge, Domain of Plans and Embers
* Iskario, Domain of Espionage and Smoke
* Fraus, Domain of Deception and Infernos
* Erebus, Domain of Wealth and Volcanoes
