Foseng, the Inferno
The title of the Inferno, God of Fire, is held by an elemental being that once roamed between the Plane of Fire and Aedelor at the beginning of the world. There was no consensus on the appearance of Foseng, as their elemental nature allowed them to morph and change into a plethora of forms. Many on Aedelor saw Foseng as a long-bodied dragon with no wings, the head of a tiger, and a mane of fire. Others witnessed them as a great bull engulfed in smoke that snorted flame.
Regardless of how they were seen, Foseng inspired terror in mortals during the elemental chaos, scorching the earth and fueling the raging fire fields. Humans and halflings worshipped the elemental and gave them offerings out of fear, hoping to prevent their homes and land from burning. The giants considered Foseng to be an obstacle to overcome, and coveted their control of fire, knowing its importance to mastering the elemental chaos.
After centuries of struggle during the millenia, the giants finally defeated Foseng, trapping the core of their power and separating it from their soul. The soul escaped to the astral plane, while the core was thrown into the volcano that is now known as Mt Ofre. The mortals considered the volcano to be the seat of Foseng's power and continued to fear and worship them, bringing offerings to the mountain. Their soul, wandering the cosmos, steadily gained back power and consumed other shards found between the planes, until their power became significant enough to be considered a god among their peers.
