Anguished Flame
Ancient tales tell that the elemental lord Atreia created his six-winged children to steward mortal prayers into the realms of the divine. These elementals work hand-in-hand with celestial and fiendish deific servants to accept sacrifices and offerings, but they also bless contrite mortals with absolution and purification, helping them to change the fate that awaits them after death.Recall Knowledge - Elemental (Arcana, Nature): DC 31

Ages In Darkness
Over the eon of Lord Atreia's imprisonment inside the Garnet Brand, temples to the Lambent King lay dormant and decaying across the Plane of Fire, and within those temples, his children, known as ygnaires, began to fade. Without the light of their Lord of Fire, these elementals who waned became known as anguished flames. They eventually turned to unmoving bronze, frozen until Atreia's light shone down on them again.
