Forge Pyromancer Tips and Tricks

Forge Pyromancer Tips and Tricks by Kwahzi

Lore
Pyromancers are born of lords and nobles. Through their endless and shamelessly expensive devotion to the craft of magic, they are able to manipulate the destructive element of fire, using it to burn and destroy their enemies. The concentration required to use such abilities forces them to often remain stationary while using their most powerful attacks. While their armor is enchanted to protect against their own flame, it offers little protection against all else. Their best defense is staying away from the heart of battle and fighting from the edge.

Pyromancers are worshipers of Ragnyr the Destroyer, son of Ymil and father of the stone children, the Yggril giants and terrorizers of men. Through the worship of Ragnyr, Pyromancers have gained mastery of the destructive element of fire. The Pyromancer prefers the luxuries of the great cities over the wilds. Greatly feared and respected by emperor’s, kings and lords alike, they are afforded great liberty and have amassed great wealth.
