Physical Description

• Appearance:

Lasair, the Primordial of Fire, is a majestic and awe-inspiring figure, sculpted entirely from the living essence of flame. Her form is a constant, mesmerizing dance of fire, seamlessly shifting between a towering, fiery beast, reminiscent of ancient myths and wild imaginings, and a more humanoid shape that exudes an overwhelming aura of heat and light.

In her beastly guise, Lasair’s presence is marked by roaring flames that leap and crackle, forming what appears to be massive, muscular limbs and a long, sinuous tail that leaves trails of sparks and embers in its wake. Her eyes, deep pools of molten lava, burn with an intensity that is both fearsome and mesmerizing, casting a glow that illuminates the darkness around her.

When she adopts her humanoid form, Lasair becomes a figure of sublime beauty and formidable power. Her hair flows upwards and outwards, a cascade of bright, golden flames that flicker and weave as if caught in an eternal wind. Her skin appears as smooth molten glass, radiant and untouchable, reflecting light in dazzling, hypnotic patterns.

Lasair’s movements are both graceful and explosive, mirroring the unpredictable nature of fire itself. Each gesture radiates heat that can nurture life or bring destruction, underscoring her dual role as a creator and annihilator. The air around her crackles with the static of intense heat, making the very atmosphere around her vibrate with the raw energy of fire.

Mythology and Worship

• Creation Myth:

Before the cosmos took shape, before the material plane was drawn from the void, there was Lasair, the Primordial of Fire. She existed as the supreme deity, her fires not only the harbinger of life but also the deliverer of destruction. It was through the radiant blaze of her inferno that the first embers of life were ignited in the universe, bringing warmth and energy to the cold expanse of nothingness. Equally, it was her flames that purified and cleansed, reducing the old to ashes to make way for the new, overseeing the cycles of death and rebirth core to the cosmic equilibrium.

Lasair, however, was not alone in her dominion. She was one of six siblings, each embodying fundamental forces that would define the universe. Talam of Earth, Ooscie of water, Gaoth Oir of Air, Gahrian of light, and Alache of Darkness. Together with Lasair’s fiery essence, their powers intertwined to shape the realities of existence.

However, as the eons stretched and the last embers of the previous universe dwindled, a time came for the mighty cycle of creation to be renewed. Recognising the need to rekindle the cosmos with a fresh vision, Lasair gathered her siblings. Together, they stood at the brink of a cosmic dusk, the end of an old era and the dawn of a new epoch. To navigate this transition and to ensure the harmony of their burgeoning creations, Lasair proposed the creation of a new deity, one who could embody the balance needed to stabilize the evolving material plane. This deity would not only inherit the powers of the elements but also the wisdom to govern them.

Thus, from the confluence of their divine energies, Statera was forged—a deity born to balance the old with the new, to oversee the cycles of growth and decay, and to master the intricate dance of the elements. With Statera’s ascension, Lasair stepped back, allowing this new guardian of balance to preside over the cycles of life and death, renewal and cessation.
