The Eternal Pyre

The shrine to the Eternal Pyre in Seris, Crosswind Hold

The Eternal Pyre is another dimension home to a group of angel-like beings, such as the Pyre Lords. The realm of the Pyre resembles deep space, filled with what appear to be various planets, stars, and other constellations. Among the void, are constructed bases of operation used by the entities of the Pyre, most notable of these being Dawnforge, where entities of the Pyre craft powerful weaponry, armor, and constructs to fight the Abyss. The dimension, or at least some of the entities within, were seemingly once under the command of a "Queen of the Pyre", though this entity seems to have disappeared.

However, despite those of the Pyre, such as Azaan, being tasked with keeping the Realm free from Abyssal influence, they don't actually seem to care much for the Realm itself, as they rarely appear to protect it, with it taking over a year for Azaan to show up and deal with Raum and Dredge, and when he finally did, cared little for the collateral damage he may cause. Though if something else unrelated to the Abyss is threatening the Realm, such as Yagorath, they care even less, as none of them could be bothered to show up in the Lost Future due to Corvus not being tricked into summoning Raum, as there wasn't any major Abyssal corruption present. On top of all this, when Azaan did finally appear in the Realm to fight off the Abyss, though he was prepared to fight off any future threats to it, upon seeing the Realm being incapable of fighting off a full-scale Abyssal invasion, was fully prepared to destroy the Realm in order to prevent the Abyss from corrupting it.

Though they care little for the actual state of the Realm, the Pyre isn't evil, though it isn't good either, but rather a type of lawful neutral. Despite their lack of care, the group still managed to seemingly become a widespread religion within the Realm, having churches dedicated to them, people praying to them, and even Valera seemingly partial towards them.

Trivia

• Io does not appear to be fond of the Pyre (▶️), while the Pyre itself doesn't seem fond of Io or others like her either.
• In general, the Pyre refines and purifies the materials it enhances, often taking a particular aspect of a person and cranking it up to 11, such as Sarah's rage.
  • This process seems to suppress or destroy the individual though, with it being stated Sarah doesn't really exist anymore, and that Furia is more of a "Sarah-flavored embodiment of fury", having some aspects of Sarah such as her personality among other things.
• When asked if the Pyre is like heaven, it was described that the conflict between the Pyre and Abyss is more of a "light-vs-dark thing".
• Eagles are often symbols of the Pyre.
• The Pyre is all about absolutes.
• The village of Seris was home to one of the oldest active Churches of the Pyre prior to its destruction.
• While the Pyre shares some similarities with the Abyss, the two don't work exactly the same and have their individual rules for existence and where their 'champions' come from.
• A stained glass window showing a hammer and various Pyre symbols can be seen through a door in one side of the modern version of Stone Keep's spawn rooms.
• The various runes used by the Pyre, as well as other types of runes, seem to be largely based on real world ancient runes.
• One of the two characters fighting Lillith in her card Waning Moon has a necklace that features one of the Pyre's symbols.
• Pyre creatures maybe will cease to exist when they can't enforce what they embody.
• It got shown in He Who Persists that Azaan can make other lesser than him Pyre Lords as he created Furia, meaning he could be created by a higher one.
