Overview
Drawn from The Maps of Myrist — Plane of Fire, The — zone description.EQ1Primary · official
Fennin Ro, the Tyrant of Fire is manifested in this realm through a charred and smoky landscape that reflects the creative and destructive element of fire. Everywhere, volcanic mountains spout lava flows that gather in pools and erupt in geysers. Petrified trees burn eternally, creating a magnificent forest of obsidian pillars and crimson flames.
Just beyond the obsidian forest, a lava stream flows into an exquisite magma waterfall, feeding the lake below. Rising out the magma lake is a large isle composed of obsidian and black volcanic rock, upon which is a small village of fire mephitis – intelligent elemental creatures native to the plane. A tunnel leads from the island to a dangerous zone where some of Fennin Ro's fiercest guardians are on constant watch.
The Dragon Bridge, aptly guarded by planar fire dragons, is suspended over a canyon. The guardians are perched on pedestals, their wings hovering above their bodies in readiness to pounce on any intruders. The bottom of the canyon has lava flowing through it and contains no visible route of safe passage.
The whereabouts of the Tyrant of Fire is a mystery, and shall likely remain so for some time, as his plane poses a deadly threat to even the gods themselves should they enter.

…"My gift normally allows me to peer into other realms. I have used it many times to protect Norrath from dangerous outside forces. Now, however, I have lost the ability to peer into the planes under the domain of Fennin Ro. I suspect that his son, Solusek, may play a hand in these events, although I know not how.
