Emberot

## Description

Emberot, also called Death's Ember, is a breathtaking and imposing entity, its presence marked by an aura of both awe-inspiring majesty and unnerving intensity. A creature forged from the secrets of life and death, Emberot's physical form embodies the dichotomy of its existence – an ethereal amalgamation of flame and shadow that dances along the edges of reality. Gargantuan in size, Emberot's shines as bright as the morning sun and his arrival on the horizon is often initially confused for just that.

The phoenix's plumage radiates with vivid shades of crimson, gold, and orange, like tongues of living flames flickering across its body. Its feathers seem to be imbued with an inner light, casting a warm, fiery glow that illuminates its surroundings.

Emberot's outline shimmers with an enigmatic play of shadows, as if it were partly woven from the fabric of the Shroud itself. Its form blurs at the edges, giving it an almost ephemeral appearance and the few witnesses that survived his arrival claim to see ghostly shapes and figures in its wake.

Atop its regal head, Emberot wears a crown-like crest of feathers that arches backward, resembling a diadem of fire. These feathers, iridescent and resplendent, flutter with each movement, casting sparks and embers in their wake.

Its wings span wide, each feathered appendage an instrument of both destruction and rejuvenation. When unfurled, they create a mesmerizing display of swirling flames and velvety shadows.

Emberot, the phoenix born from death and fire, stands as a living testament to the fragile balance between the realms, forever blazing with a purpose that remains shrouded in mystery and awe.

## History

Emberot was born from a dead egg, laid by the legendary phoenix Etros in the year 150 BtS. The egg was killed by imperial priests after the legions of the Old Empire killed Etros. Yet it was noticed that the egg still emanated great magic powers. It was then taken by the Old Empire and became a great source of power in their temples and facilities.

During the Era of Decline and Era of Chaos, the facility the egg was held in was slowly abandoned and eventually forgotten. The egg was then rediscovered by adventurers in the year 1421. It was then sold multiple times until it landed in the possession of Robert Instrass, a wealthy businessman who understood the great potential of the egg and began to study it. Robert Instrass was later murdered by Oro von Sig and the egg stolen. Oro von Sig then performed a resurrection ritual on the egg, causing the hatching of Emberot and the total destruction of Zweiwig.
