God of Flames, Divine Pacts, Deicide, and Corruption. Creator of the False Flame. Titan Supreme.
Long ago, when the beings of this plane called other Celestials and Goddesses their kings and queens, life on Ylembica existed without fire. Fire was the exclusive belonging of the Gods, who viewed its heat and light as divine and a source of their power, and were, as such, unwilling to part with theirs.
A lowly man sought to change that which was unfair, climbing the great mountain to the abode of the Gods, and stealing fire from the realm of the divine and bringing it to the mortals of the plane. The thief captured the flame, but he was unable to make it back to the mortal realm, as the Gods caught on, and rather than killing him, decided he deserved a more eternal punishment. However, the Gods would never find the shard of the eternal flame that he stole.
This thief was named Prometheus, and his punishment was harsh, even by the standards of the Gods at the time. He was chained to a boulder, his arms stretched out perpendicular to his torso, and locked in Tartarus, doomed to have his liver eaten by ravenous birds every night, only to grow it back the next morning, and the process to repeat for eternity. To worsen the matter, he was beheaded, his head placed on a spit and made to watch as his body was devoured night after night for eternity.
Even Gods die, and new Gods come in to take their place. New, more caring Gods moved in to take the place of the old ones, and mortals then knew the warmth of the flame. The Gods who locked Prometheus up died long before he would ever know freedom again. The old Gods died, and took with them the knowledge that Prometheus even existed, though he suspected they had forgotten about him long ago; without the knowledge of his existence, these new Gods were unable to save Prometheus from his torment, and so he stayed chained to that boulder for eons longer. Once a good man who sought only to correct an unjust caste, Prometheus was driven mad through an eternity of torture, and began to think the old and new Gods as one and the same, both sharing the blame for his eternal damnation.
Hundreds of centuries later, an old king of a dead empire attempted to obtain Godhood by taking it through force, and looked for a way to best the God that was so much stronger than they were. They came across the story of the forgotten Prometheus and in him saw someone who could perhaps not overpower, but outwit the Titan as they once did with the Gods who were even more powerful and place their liberator on the throne as repayment. However, millennia after millennia had broken the man, he was no longer the just and kind man he once was, and wanted only power to enact revenge on those he felt abandoned him. If the Gods who originally punished him were long dead, he would find someone else to punish.
He agreed to help his liberator, but all along intended to betray them. What more, he still had the flame that he stole from the Gods all those years ago, which he had hidden in his heart to keep it from the Gods’ eyes. This flame was more powerful than anything the world had seen in a long time, even a shard of the pure divine fire was more powerful than the diluted fire of today, weakened from being spread out to accommodate the lives of mortals. After chaining his liberator to suffer the same fate he had for time untold, Prometheus used the False flame to shape the prison in which he had been sealed. The realm now serves as a pit of eternal torture, meant to punish mortals as much as the Gods they worship, for as souls are siphoned here rather than going to a Gods side, Prometheus gains power, while the Gods lose it, his way of punishing them for not looking hard enough for a way to free him.
Through hushed whispers, there are some rumors that Prometheus provided the spear that killed the first Qati. Though she would be reborn, her death ushered in the Spelldrought, a period of eight hundred eighty eight years where access to arcane energy was non-existent, pushing cultures towards the magics provided by the other Concerning Planes.
