Pyremius is depicted as a hideous human with a bald, jermlaine-like head. He wears large bracers of brass, and is armed with a whip named Viper and a longsword named Red Light.

Relationships

Pyremius's closest allies are the goddess Syrul and the Oinoloth Mydianchlarus.

Worshippers

Pyremius is very popular in the lands ruled by the Scarlet Brotherhood, as well as among assassins and pyromaniacs. He is also worshipped by jermlaine, firenewts, and grimlocks.

History

Originally a mere demigod of poison and murder, Pyremius gained his fire aspect centuries ago when he poisoned Ranet, the Suloise fire goddess.
