Embers of the Burning Pact

After uniting and ending the Shatterblight Wars, the Embers of the Burning Pact were formed in 86 BP. The original intent of the Embers was to hunt down the remnants of the demon and devil armies, as well as slay any remaining evil chromatic dragons. The effort proved largely fruitless however, as the remaining members of any of the enemy factions were few, and they found dark places to hide. The Embers rose to become more than vengeful hunters, and instead transcended to the protectors of Flauria.

The Burning Council was formed to guide the Embers in their mission, numbering five members of the various mortal races, a dragon, and a seelie archfey at any given time. These wise leaders send Embers to investigate reports of evil, or small parties to quell threats bigger than the average guard or military force is equipped to handle. All the while, information is being gathered, and lessons from the past dissected, in order to understand how the Shattering occurred, and to find a way to prevent it from ever happening again.

To aid in the continuous search for heroic individuals and their trainging, towers of study have been erected all over the lands of Flauria. These towers are ran by preceptors, Embers themselves, in an effort to find and train exceptional people to continue the work of the Embers. Each tower is governed by a Grand Preceptor, with many preceptors under them. The Grand Preceptors then report directly to an Ember Lord, four in total. The Ember Lords oversee the Embers dispatched within their respective hemispheres and report directly to the Burning Council.

While not everyone may agree with certain outcomes or members actions, the world recognizes the absolute valor the Embers have shown since forming. They are hailed as heroes in almost every corner of Flauria, and even the Umbral Nexus grants them their due.
