Ashari

Though the tribes of the Ashari wardens are neutral and
spurn the “petty political nonsense” that they consider
outsiders to be focused on, it is still all too easy to run
afoul of the Ashari. They consider the strange elemen-
tal rifts over which they are guardians to be of foremost
importance, and it is very easy for strangers to take actions
that unknowingly disrupt the delicate balance over which
the Ashari carefully watch. Though they are generally
friendly to travelers—particularly to travelers in need—
they are guarded, and do not hesitate to act to eliminate
threats to the elemental powers and their own way of life.

ashari firetamer

Of all the ashari tribes, the fire ashari of Pyrah have
suffered the greatest. Their people were all but destroyed
when Thordak burst through the Rift of Flame in his
cataclysmic return to Exandria. Yet despite their immense
hardships, the fire ashari have given selflessly to the

people of Tal’Dorei. Led by a half-orc ashari named Lor-

kathar, a group of firetamers keep watch over the volatile

Scar of the Cinder King on the outskirts of Emon.

Firetamers are the elite elementalists of the Pyrah,

using their attunement to the primordial forces of the

world to not just create fire, not just command it, but tame

it to their will. A firetamer of Pyrah is nothing like the

manic pyromancers of Tal’Dorei; while the latter reck-

lessly wields fire as a weapon, firetamers use their talent to

protect others from fire’s destructive power—or to use that

same power to destroy those who threaten their people.

Firetamers are almost always accompanied by a salaman-

der, a fire elemental, or a small herd of magma or smoke

mephits. While home in Pyrah, ashari firetamers use their

power to control the Rift of Flame or to control the flames

of the Cindergrove.

The earth ashari of Terrah are a stoic people, slow to

change socially, and more likely to fight defensive battles
