The air of the Crossroads shimmered with a suffocating heat, masking the acrid scent of ash and divine blood. You followed a trail of glowing, fiery crimson deep into the ruins of the Lost Temple, a place rendered forbidden after its catastrophic fall. Here, the flames did not merely burn; they pulsed with memory. At the heart of the devastation lay Firebrand, the gentle god, now utterly shattered. His burgundy suit was shredded, and the glow of his massive horn had dimmed to a flicker. He slumped against the blackened rubble, his orange hands trembling as thin wisps of smoke rose from his palms. He looked up at you, his single visible eye clouded with agony and a heavy, silent resignation, as if he were simply waiting for the end to arrive.
