Tűz

**Tűz**: ((diction|*t-OOze*; adjective Tűzi (*t-OO-zEE*))) all things Flame. Gifted the plane Pag-Iral with his siblings and left righting shared wrong, he was never banished from it.

Tűz’s avatar appears as a bald humanoid fire elemental with skin of cooling lava and burning red eyes. Tűz has been known to appear as an equally unmistakeable magma dragon or a large iguana with the same descriptors.
He indicates his favor through a hearth which warms more than it should, the sudden appearance of lava rock, the sprouting passion flowers from stone, and mess of iguanas. His disapproval is most commonly exhibited by the feeling of burning when in contact with metal or near a flame, the eruption of volcanoes, and the replacement of food or crop with ash. Tűz’s holy symbol is a tongue of flame.

### Dogma

Tűz requires justice and familial balance. He understands various levels of human cruelty and is willing to turn an eye to it so long as there is a counter-balance to it. Tűz believes family should stay together, not because of blind obedience or loyalty, but because of growth from shared mistakes. He rewards those who keep the balance within themselves and their families with his favor.
Tűzi doctrine has taken many of his directions out of context but so long as he is pleased with its leaders ability to juggle his true teachings and their own agenda he does not interfere.

### Temples and Shrines

Tűz often receives temples dedicated to him. Such buildings are usually tall and unmistakable for some part of it had to be forged in fire, and the metallic accents on the building give it away for what it is. Inside, beyond the usual places to congregate and worship or be reminded of his teachings, Tűzi temples often contain academic libraries which hold records of those who’ve quested for him and the success of those who’ve used flame/combustion to build. If not attached to a temple, Tűzi temples frequently fund forges offering customers a chance to receive a holy blessing upon their items.
Large shrines to Tűz often are often bronze or copper statues depicting him doing a number of things, from preaching to children, to raging, to saving his sister Elet. Though sometimes nothing more than a lit hearth or well kept lava plant is enough of a shrine for him.

### Clothing

Tűz enjoys the various colors of flames. He cares not about coverage unless those who do, do so for protection. Those who can spare the coin often wear golden accessories or embroider tongues of flame into their clothing.

### Relations with other Religions

Tűz has soft spot for Ele and treats her as he thinks man should his wife. Be it born from a sense of lasting shame or regret he’ll always do what is necessary to protect her and her followers. He views the two of them as the two rightful leaders of Pag-Iral.
He has an understanding with Föld as she cares for all of their younger sister’s byproduct creations and often his fires supply Föld with the nutrients to start new life.
Tűz is not close with his other siblings but hopes that one day they’ll understand the terrible thing they’ve done and apologize to their sister.
Masama is an enemy to Tűz like water to flame; he is particularly watchful of her on years when spring is late.

### Realm

Tűz’s realm is not the burning landscape most expect: *Eldfjall* is a divers scape of metallic forests, burning volcanoes, and the life that inhabits them. Those native to his plane often migrate as needed to either escape the live eruptions or to get to them. This haven of natural and forged beauty Tűz shares with his most devout followers, be they skilled forgers or practiced familymen.
