Scorchwings soar high above the peaks of the Three Kings, gliding on the thermals while watching over their domain with keen, glistening black eyes.
About
These excitable and short tempered bird-like creatures are in fact elemental constructs, born from within the hellish magma chambers deep within the molten hearts of the islands. They spew forth from steaming vents and flock near open lava pits, where they squabble and bicker among themselves.
Mage-Priests can bind them temporarily to their will when required, but permanent mastery requires dedication and intense training.
Many Ghekkotah hunters have tried, for a Scorchwing is considered the ultimate prize—if you can manage to keep all your fingers and toes. The rare few that have claimed one as a mount, using protective saddles enchanted by the Mage Priests, are the true lords of the sky and masters of the hunt.
After years of training and dedication, these deeply respected elite hunters have formed an incredible bond with their sleek, fiery Scorchwing mounts.
Rarely, and on a cycle that is difficult for even the most studious of observers to comprehend, the great Phoenixes that reside on Mount Kolosu migrate south, where they may spend months, or even years, basking in the sunny climes of the Salamander homelands.
Whether the Kings are the birth, or rebirthing, place for these majestic beasts, nobody is certain. What is known is that the Ur-Elohi Samacris, the Mother of Phoenixes, may grant their use to Salamander armies to wage war against the evil in the world—something that the monstrous flaming birds take to with an almost gleeful abandon.
