Overview
Drawn from Fennin Ro - The Tyrant of Fire — deity description.EQ1Primary · mirrored · best available source
Fennin Ro is the being who rules the greater elemental Plane of Fire, from which he derives his title, the Tyrant of Fire.
Fennin manifests himself as a large male humanoid with barbaric features including a beard of flame, glowing red eyes, pointed ears, and fangs.
Although he has been known to be a fanatic in terms of preserving the element of fire, displaying a short temper toward that preservation and any who would dare to threaten it, Fennin Ro retains a strong influence on the wheel of Order and Discord.

Fire and ash race across the sky of the Plane of Sun as dark forms scuttle under the shadows of giant obsidian columns. This is the home of the great Solusek Ro! A burning fortress hardened in the flame of the very stars themselves!

The young prince of fire began his journey into the cosmos for the first time. His eyes burned with the fury of the sun, and his fists held the power of an inferno that could only have been birthed in the forge of Fennin’s realm. For this was Solusek Ro, the Burning Prince!
Chapter 6
As Solusek Ro traversed the desert of destruction he’d caused in ages past, he found a poor wizard in need of aid. Struck with a vision of the future, the Burning Prince nourished in the wayward mage with flame and magic. Such is not usually the way of the Lord of Flames, but he foresaw a use to this mortal’s progeny many generations in the future. The young wizard, Rathmana Allim, swore his life to Ro’s service.
