Igneous

„*Oh, never heard of it. But it appears you need a map. But you'll never find one here. Nah, this town is too small, and rather lacking in the educational department if I might add.*”
— Igneous replying to Senn's questioning him about Ataraxia,↑
**Igneous** was a 14-year old thickly built Magnorite who behaved differently compared to others of his species. Chatty, friendly and polite, he was quick to make friends with Senn and was eager to accompany him on his journey to Ataraxia. He sacrificed himself in order to defeat Malakai and end the Cydonia-K'arthen conflict.

## Lore

Not much is known about Igneous, other then he was born outside of K'arthen and before he meet Senn he had never been there. but as a Magnorite, he has hardened skin (allowing him to ignore thrown glass and even weapons) and his mass is too heavy to ride a horse. He is used to being ridiculed and having things thrown at him by prejudiced townsfolk. It was also mentioned that Magnorites cannot swim, due to their weight and probably due to their partial consistency of lava.

## Personality

Igneous is particularly cheerful and talkative and will do almost anything for his friends, as he rarely finds them. He also cared much about the oppression of Magnorites like himself, which he experienced much of (being born outside of K'arthen). It was for this reason he sacrificed himself to stop the K'arthen-Cydonia conflict.

## Appearances

### Episode 7

Igneous was first seen calmly reading behind a tree while the local townsfolk gathered in a mob near him. Senn, who came to see what was going on, was rudely asked by the locals to tell Igneous to leave the area. He politely greeted Senn and asked if it okay for him to read there in the shade. Senn replied that it was fine, but the mob wanted him to leave. Igneous bemoaned the fact he never got time to catch up on his reading. He seemed oblivious to the fact that people were throwing a glass at him while being questioned by Senn, as he said he was used to it. He suggested to Senn that they travel to Biggerton where they might be able to buy a map. After the formal introductions, he babbled on about how it would be great to have some company on the road.

### Episode 8

Senn and Igneous are seen traveling to Biggerton to find a map for Ataraxia. On their way, Igneous talks about how Magnorites don't eat food and also mentions that he is 14, but in the middle of his life. Jalkar suddenly jumps out from the bushes and tries to steal Senn's horse. Igneous politely tells Jalkar that this horse belongs to them, while Jalkar tries to stab Igneous, only to hit his rock hard skin without leaving a single scratch. Out of realising he does not want to be friends, Igneous hits Jalkar hard and immediately apologizes. Jalkar, being a careless thief in a hurry, ignored him and ran away. When Senn and Igneous arrived at Biggerton, they found a bar but Igneous and Senn were abused by a prejudiced customer sitting next to them. Senn and Igneous then found a map shop only to be tricked for more money. A dejected Senn and Igneous went out only to be found by Abbigail who kindly lent them a map. In return, Igneous informs her of the thief (Jalkar), which was just what Abbigail wanted. After departing Biggerton and on their way to Ataraxia, Senn was pulled into a river by guardians, leaving Igneous confused and helpless.

### Episode 9

After Senn had the encounter with the Elder Guardian, to Igneous’ surprise Senn was blasted back to shore alive. A bridge was then raised by the guardians, leading to Ataraxia.

### Episode 10

Igneous and Senn then continued and went to Ataraxia, they realized it was quite small but it still had Ardoni. They walked for some time and find the islands that take up the most of the city. After they found a place for Timber they crossed the bridge and met with Hubris Nestoris, he talked about recruiting them for a clan called the Knights of Ardonia. Senn then told him he has other things to do and would join later. Igneous then ran into a place and Senn had to catch up to him, the building housed Galleous Sendaris, the brother of Thalleous Sendaris. Senn told him the news about his brother being dead from a Voltaris ambush, Galleous now angry of what happened stormed off. Talking about how he barely seen him and they weren’t on friendly terms, they went downstairs to talk about more things and Igneous jumped into a lava pool to drink. Senn and Galleous were talking about the upcoming war and the war between Cydonia and K’arthen, Igneous said he’d always wanted to go to K’arthen, and talked about ending the conflict between the two Kingdoms. Galleous said that the kingdoms have the largest armies in Ardonia and it would be necessary for the war. Igneous says that he'd better leave. After having a brief discussion with Senn about leaving, he says that he wants to live his life to the fullest, "and who better than a Magnorite to unite the 2 kingdoms." Almost ready to leave, Galleous stops him and give Igneous some gold and tells him to sail to Meridian because the borders of K’arthen are closed, and find his Galleous’ contact in Cydonia, Aren the fletcher.

### Episode 11

Igneous arrives at Meridian in the desert, where he is met with suspicious eyes. He eventually finds a doorway with the sign 'The Fletcher'. He walks inside and meets Aren, explaining that Galleous sent him as he could sneak Igneous across the borders of K'arthen. Aren doesn't believe that Galleous sent him, so Igneous showed him the gold that Galleous gave him. Aren smiles, and cuts to the next scene.

### Episode 12

Igneous and Aren reach the borders of K'arthen, were Aren tells Igneous to head west for an opening in the walls, and then leaves. He enters K'arthen soon, and only bare stone can be seen. A Magnorite guard walks out of Mt. Kaelos, and almost catches Igneous, who narrowly escapes. He walks around, eventually getting to a ravine, where he reaches a large doorway in the cliff. Entering it, the Great Hall of Tartarus is revealed, the capital of K'arthen, and the episode ends.

### Episode 13

Backs in Tartarus, Igneous is in the Great Hall. He enters a tavern and sits at a table, pulling out a book and attempting to blend in. Nearby, there is a commotion. Two Magnorites, Borgen and Malakai (the leader or K'arthen) are arguing about how the situation has gotten worse since the borders have closed. Malakai becomes angry and starts a fight with Borgen, throwing him down and asking someone to challenge him. He punches a random Magnorite that happens to be Igneous, who complains and then is thrown out of the tavern. Outside, he follows Borgen who tries and acts like he is glad K'arthen closed its borders, but telling him to go and see Maxwell if he wishes to talk about the situation.

### Episode 14

Back at Tartarus, Igneous is in the housing district looking for Maxwell. He knocks on a door and Maxwell steps out, asking what he wants. Igneous said he heard Maxwell is trying to reunite K'arthen with the other kingdoms, who then thinks Igneous is here to harass him and tries to make him go away, to no avail. He invites him inside and gives him a lava bucket to drink. Igneous ask whys it's dangerous to speak freely, and Maxwell explains that Magnorites are like sheep, in the way they tend to do what every other Magnorite is doing. He continues by telling that K'arthen and Cydonia used to engage in mutual trade. K'arthen gave them ores and Cydonia gave them food. However, suddenly Cydonia raised their prices for no reason, and K'arthen was forced to mine deeper for more ores. However, Malakai rose to power and then destroyed Cydonia's land by salting their fields. Maxwell then asks why Igneous is really here. The answer is that he wasn't raised in K'arthen and never developed aggressiveness, but everyone looks at him like some dangerous radical, and he wants to change that. Maxwell smiles, and then tells him of a tunnel Malakai is mining underneath K'arthen and to go there to find answers. Igneous leaves and another Magnorite is watching close by, suspiciously.

### Episode 15

Igneous going into the tunnel, as Maxwell had directed him. There, he runs into Borgen, the Magnorite freedom fighter he met earlier. At first, Borgen acts like he doesn't know Igneous for his safety, but eventually cooperates and shows him a room filled with huge piles of TNT being placed in it and informs him, that Malakai is intending to destroy the city of Phaethon from below and continue the conflict between K'arthen and Cydonia for him to stay in power. After this, Igneous heads back to Maxwell to inform him as well.

### Episode 16

Igneous goes into Maxwell's house but finds it empty and destroyed, just as Magnorite guards surround him and take him away.

### Episode 17

Igneous being escorted by the Magnorite guards. Borgen intercepts them with a pile of pickaxes onto one of the guards to divert the attention. Meanwhile, one of the other three guards turns his weapon towards another guard, revealing he is with Borgen, and kills him. An archer up top fires an enchanted arrow into the last guard, also killing him. And Borgen attacks the Magnorite he dropped the pickaxes on, killing him as well. He informs Igneous that the tunnel has reached Cydonia and that they need to stop them now. Borgen and Igneous go into the tunnel while the other two Magnorites stay outside and watch the entrance.
The latter pulls out a redstone torch and intends to detonate the TNT prematurely. But Igneous volunteers himself to be the one to do it. After he approaches Malakai, who is overseeing the final steps, he first wants to talk him out of it, but Malakai doesn't listen and starts fighting him. Igneous manages to put a redstone torch to a redstone path that leads to the TNT, before Malakai starts to seriously beat him up. The redstone hits a redstone repeater slowing it down. As this happens, the other Magnorites start running out of the room. Malakai eventually punches Igneous so hard, that his arm breaks off and Malakai manages to stop the redstone by breaking it as well. Igneous, however gets one last idea, which is to pull out a redstone torch once again and detonate the TNT immediately, which he does, killing himself and Malakai, as well as blowing up a hole just right outside of Phaethon.

### Episode 18

Borgen assures him that the actual attack didn't take place at all and that if it wasn't for the brave Magnorite Igneous, the whole city would have been destroyed.

### Episode 22

Borgen gives Senn Igneous' books and after the former explains what happened, the latter says, that Igneous knew his life was short and that he wanted to make a difference. Borgen says, that Magnorites have a tradition of naming cities after heroes and leaders and that one was nearly named Malakai, but thinks that the new one will be much more appropriate and they both smile, knowing that a mountain will be named Igneous.

#### **Episode 29**

Borgen mentions that if there's one thing they've learned from Igneous, it's that aggression and power aren't always the best approach. They should be used in moderation.

### Episode 30

Igneous was honored with a mountain carved in his name.

## Trivia

* Igneous states that he is 14 years old in episode 8, but also states that he is halfway through his life, meaning that a Magnorite has an average life span of 30 years. This makes him a middle-aged man for Magnorite standards.

* During the behind the scenes video of episode 7, he has the face of Obi-wan Kenobi saying "Hello there.", a meme from *Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith*.
* There is a common meme involving Igneous screaming "IT'S PG!", which originates from the Episode 10 Hangout video, in specific the moment when Ria's VA calls her spear a "big pointy stick".
