The Burning Ones (Warlock Patron)

## Patron: The Burning Ones

Burning ones are powerful fire elemental, though Efreeti are the most common. Burning ones usually select people who they believe have a string inner fire. This is generally proving through battle by consuming all in your path like flames, though in some cases may be through strength of personality. Once the pact is made, the warlock is marked physically. They seem to have a slight glow to their skin (this does not actually provide light) and if you stare into their eyes, you may see a burning flame inside.
