Legend speaks of a time when the realms of mortals were under the firm hand of the Pantheon, whose natural order shaped the laws of life, death, magic, and nature. Among those who looked upon this structure with disdain was a fiend, whose name has since been lost to time. It is said that this being, known only in whispered lore as The Unmaking Flame, resented the rigid structure the gods imposed upon the world.
The fiend believed that no being, divine or mortal, had the right to impose order upon the world. In their eyes, true freedom lay in the hands of the individual—each soul should be free to choose their path, unbound by the laws of nature, the dictates of magic, or even the very rules of life and death itself. To this end, they gathered a dark coalition of cultists: mortals disillusioned by the gods' influence, alongside outcast gods and fiends who shared the fiend’s thirst for freedom from divine rule.
Their rebellion, fueled by a thirst for ultimate freedom, culminated in a final, bloody confrontation with the Pantheon. The gods, in their wrath, shattered the fiend’s forces, casting the rebellious being into an unthinkable prison, buried deep within the infernal hells, never to return to the world again.
The passage of time has obscured the truth of these events, and it is unclear whether the fiend’s story is more myth than history. The cult that once followed the Unmaking Flame has long since been disbanded, and only ancient, fragmented texts remain to speak of the fiend’s existence. Yet in those texts, the fiend is described as a harbinger of destruction, a being that sought to tear asunder the very foundation of the world through fire and blood—an eternal flame that would undo all that was created.
