The Ember Heart

A cave buried deep within The God Pinnacle, shelters the heart which allows for the protection and livelihoods of all who live there.

Heart of the Mountain

Dragons, phoenixes and other fire related creatures can be found guarding the heart, or nearby in local towns and mountains.

First created when the Giver took refuge in the God Pinnacle, the heart was created from his magic in order to ensure the safety of his spirit and all his followers. He entrusted the heart to his most trusted creatures who have guarded it since. It may only be removed from the mountain with the Giver's permission, and the person removing the heart must be strong enough to not be burned by the fire. When it was created, the Giver instructed that if someone were to go with his permission to take the heart, then all his followers must honour that person as their new leader. Only once has the heart been taken up, which occurred during The First War of Ashall, when the host of the Giver took it up to lead their troops into battle. Later it was returned and eventually the host died, it has never been touched since.
