**Azara Flametongue** is the Divine of Fire — god of purification, the forge, and the fierce renewal that destruction brings — and one of the [[The Pantheon|Seven Divines]] who watch over the world of [[Elandis]]. Her relic is the **Emberheart**, a ruby orb said to be ever warm to the touch.
## Overview
Azara Flametongue holds the sphere of fire within the [[The Pantheon|Seven Divines]], the dominant faith that governs nearly every corner of the known world. Hers is the godhood of the crucible: fire that purifies, forge-heat that shapes raw ore into something worthy, and the burning away of the old that lets the new emerge. The Emberheart — her sacred relic, a ruby orb ever warm to the touch — is among the most celebrated of the Seven's artifacts, though its current whereabouts are unknown to the faithful.
## Worship
### Ashnight
At the close of **Fireday**, the week's last day, communities light a great bonfire and cast into it tokens of the week's failures and what has outlived its use — mistakes, grudges, worn and broken things — that the flame might take them and clear the way for the week to come. To give a thing to Azara's fire is to let it be unmade so that something better may take its place.
## In Memory & Belief
To the ordinary worshipper, Azara Flametongue is simply one of the Seven — present and watchful over fire, forge, and the hard work of transformation. Little beyond the broad shape of her sphere and the existence of her relic is widely recorded.
