Overview
Drawn from Solusek — deity description.EQ1Primary · official
Followers of Solusek Ro belive in the raw and unbridled power of fire. Fire birthed the world and in fire shall it be consumed. True aggressive action is the only way for one to obtain what is desired. Power is gained by superior force. Followers of Ro have little fear. They are bold and brash, and say what they mean, and do what they say. Social graces are something they neither possess nor desire. They demand the respect of their peers and more often than not, earn it as well. Those who seek true elemental power follow
Solusek Ro, and thus many wizards turn to his burning embrace.
