Uzzias

Domains and Aspects

 

Fire

Destruction and Renewal

Passion and Ambition

Resourcefulness and Innovation

  Uzzias embodies the relentless fires that consume all in their path — but from those ashes, life finds a way to begin anew. His divine flame is not merely a force of devastation but also one of rebirth. His worshippers view his fire as both an end and a beginning, urging mortals to embrace their passions without compromise.  

Symbol and Depiction

  Symbol: A dragon flowing along a river of molten lava, surrounded by raining molten stone.
Depiction: Uzzias is usually portrayed as a massive black-red dragon, his scales split by glowing veins of molten lava. Rivers of fire spill from his mouth and teeth, and his enormous, jagged horns curl like those of a demon lord, giving him a fearsome, almost infernal visage.  

Beliefs and Values

  Followers of Uzzias are taught that pride, passion, and resourcefulness are sacred virtues. Life is fleeting and precious thus, mortals must pursue their desires and ambitions with unrelenting fervor. To hesitate, to compromise one’s dreams, is seen as a betrayal of Uzzias’ gift of mortal fire.   “Ashes feed the roots of tomorrow. Let your fire consume fear.”  

Temples and Worship

  Temples dedicated to Uzzias are rare and hidden, often found in the searing wildernesses of the far South lands where even the soil seems to smoke underfoot. Civilization dares not tread too deeply into these domains, and few return from pilgrimages unscathed.   Worship often takes the form of personal trials by fire: walking barefoot over hot coals, forging weapons in sacred lava flows, or daring expeditions to volcanic craters seen as Uzzias' sacred places.  

Legends and Tales

  It is whispered that Uzzias’ presence alone can melt any metal, no matter how divine or enchanted. Entire armies have supposedly fallen before him without so much as a blow struck, their arms and armor dripping away into rivers of molten ore.   Some legends claim that great inventors who dream by firelight do so under his unseen gaze.  

Mysteries

  Though Uzzias is a god of destruction, his truest fascination lies with mortals themselves especially with their ingenuity. He watches with interest as they invent, create, and strive toward greatness, mirroring the divine drive for creation through mortal hands.   Some wonder if Uzzias’ fires are not simply meant to clear the way, but to forge mortal will into something that even the gods will one day reckon with.
