In ancient times a great rivalry occurred between two
gods: Fuer, the god of fire, and Drestbush, god of nature. Neither
could achieve enough power to overcome the other god through their
worshipers and battle.
Fuer, being the less patient of the two, decided
to bring the conflict to an end on way or another and send his most
powerful priests to destroy the main forest sanctuary of his enemy.
A large magical battle ensued between the forces of fire and the
forces of nature. The Druids through patience and strategy eventually
brought down the priests of Fuer with minimal losses to their forest.
The druids burned the corpses of all the fire priests
and wrapped them in the head priest's cloak. They buried the cloak
and the ashes within the forest in a place that Fuer would never
find.
Unknown to the druids Fuer placed a powerful magic
spell on the cloak knowing that there was a possibility of his followers
losing the climatic battle. In the middle of the night of Drestbush's
most holy day Fuer used the last remaining of his powers and ignited
the cloak. The cloak consumed the ashes of the deceased along with
their fanaticism and rage. The cloak rose from the ground as an
enormous fire elemental with the hand of Fuer guiding it. Within
hours Fuer burned down the forest and destroyed his hated foes greatest
temple and priests. The druids could not wake the power of their
god in time to aid them as it was his time to sleep.
Fuer consumed his own fire in his revenge toward destroying
his adversary. Both gods now are nothing more than forgotten gods
that no one follows ever trying to gain back their presence in the
world of man.
Abilities: The cloak is only able to be adorned by a non
good aligned priest who's sphere is fire. While worn the cloak will
give the wearer a +5 deflection bonus to their AC. The wearer also
takes 1/4 damage from all fire attacks. If however, the wearer would
ever die from a fire attack without the cloak's protection they
will be marked by a sever fire scar somewhere on their body. This
is a sign from Fuer that says he has once again saved your life.
Since the cloak was created by Fuer it will slowly alter the will
of the priest wearing it to his religion, thus starting the new
cult of Fuer.
Creation: This item is unique and may not be
made.
