Cinder Elves
Cinder Elves also called the "Flame Elves" are one of the various types of elves who descend from the Light Elves. The cinder elves are famous for their propensity for destruction due to their want to spread the passion of nature being responsible for many wildfires. While many cinder elves perished on Zodia, those who survived live in Brimstone through the mercy of Aresium dwelling in the molten wasteland.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Cinder Elves are imbued with immense heat power making their complexion a pale orange, they are resistant to fire damage, & the ability to sense thermal heat in a range of 120ft. Their genetic intertwining with fires makes their body temperature incredibly hot, something they have full control over.
Biological Traits
Cinder Elves have an immunity to fire and extreme heat as well as being able to innately use fire based spells like a bolt of fire, a jet of fire from their hands, & a powerful burst of fire to incinerate those in range of the blast. These elves are much better at seeing heat than other elves having natural thermal sight at birth. As they age they can manipulate their body heat inside and out being hot to the touch, boiling poison and other substances, and increase the strength of their fire spells.
Growth Rate & Stages
Cinder Elves once in childhood can't control their immense heat being very hot to the touch being up to 5,000°F. As they age they can control their heat at a much better degree than child elves being able to boil poisons out their bodies or make their flame spells even hotter.

Common Taboos
Cinder Elves don't spread their passion to other civilized places as they aren't worthy of being bathed in the passion of nature. To not put their hearts into something is deplorable as they don't put the passion of nature into their craft.
History
The Cinder Elves descended from the Light Elves leaving their original homeland Primal Heart to find a new home as they felt as though their passion would be snuffed out if they stayed. Upon leaving Primal Heart many were tossed into many worlds all trying to find a haven that could handle their passion.
Cinder Elves on Zodia weren't well received as wherever they went massive fires would sprout. Despite their love for fire as it symbolizes passion they eventually settled down in Brimstone accepting the Crimson Church as their leader as through them they could spread their passion to their heart's content.
