The Tribe of the Burning Sun
Demographics
The majority of the settlement is populated by Hog Folk. Otherwise, the settlement functions like a normal village where everyone has a job and the Fireprince takes the lead and provides guidance.
The inhabitants wear fabrics made of heat-resistant materials, embroidered with glowing symbols, and jewelry made of molten metal that has been magically cooled as clothing.
Government
The Tribe of the Burning Sun is run by the Fireprince who creates the laws and taxes.
Defences
Barriers and Walls: Large, strong barriers made of earth, rock, and gravel are built to divert lava flows from critical areas.
Embankments: Similar to dams, these are built to hold back and redirect lava. The height can vary, with some defenses reaching 8 meters or higher.
Infrastructure
The inhabitants live in lava caves, on volcanic slopes or in basalt-colored fortresses; some live in wandering fire oases.
Assets
Blades that have been dipped in fire and retain a faint ember; spears whose tips are made of lava rock.
Points of interest
Rituals: Fire dances at the new moon, offerings in the form of forged metal
Totem/Heraldic animal: Phoenix, salamander, fire-breathing lion
Architecture
The architecture of the tribe, often called "Lavaforming," is a speculative concept that uses cooled lava for construction. Key architectural methods involve channeling lava into trenches to create structural walls and foundations and cooling lava in specialized chambers to form pre-fabricated elements like bricks and columns. The goal is to create sustainable, durable structures that work in harmony with volcanic environments. The Fireprince's court is built inside a cave of Mount Doom, surrounded by molten rock and fire-breathing statues.
Geography
The Tribe of the Burning Sun is settled on Hell Islands at the western base of Mount Doom. The settlement is surrounded by lava seas, rivers, and pits interspersed with glens, molten rock plains, as well as obsidian mountain ranges and shores.
