Huoyan

Huoyan is a dynamic deity, a raging inferno one moment and a warm, inviting hearth the next. His dual nature reflects fire's capacity for both creation and destruction. He wears armor made of obsidian, and his eyes are molten embers that can either comfort or consume.

Huoyan's origins as a mortal lend him a unique perspective among gods. In his human life, he was a humble blacksmith who underwent a mystical trial by fire to save his village from a volcanic eruption. Emerging from the inferno unscathed, he was granted godhood for his bravery and mastery over the element. His legend serves as a parable of transformation and sacrifice.

Blacksmiths, pyromancers, warriors, and anyone who relies on fire for their livelihood or craft pay homage to Huoyan. He also has a following among thrill-seekers and adventurers.
