Sparks of Salamanderflame

Everything in the Dark Forest is made up of two things: The Sparks of the Salamanderflame, or the ashes. Sparks are the remaining embers of life left behind from burned memories. Those with a touch of Salamanderflame themselves, like Zephnos, can "convince" the sparks to move to their will, assuming nothing else is maintaining them. Density of sparks decides how stable the Forest's approximation of reality is, with the Rootways shifting constantly due to an extremely low spark density. As the Salamanderflame continues to burn, the number of sparks grows and widens.
