Firetamer

Firetamers are the elite elementalists of the Pyrah Ashari, dedicated to protecting others from the destructive power of fire.

History
Ordinarily, in Pyrah, firetamers control the Rift of Flame and the flames of the Cindergrove.

In the aftermath of Thordak's occupation of Emon in 811 PD, there was deep, lingering elemental corruption across a large swath of the area. The Council of Tal'Dorei summoned the Fire Ashari to help cleanse the land, and soon a stone fortress called Flamereach Outpost was built as a base for the druids and elemental specialists to watch over and heal the Scar of the Cinder King. A group of firetamers from Pyrah, led by Lorkathar, began the work within the year..

Lorkathar and the firetamers were still at Flamereach Outpost three decades later. Though the area is not expected to ever fully recover, by late 842 PD the Scar was largely under control, but towards the end of the year, a resurgence in elemental energy began to awaken. Several firetamers were killed in a coordinated attack by a fiery being who conjured cinderslag elementals, and a short time later a massive, ashen plateau suddenly rose near Flamereach Outpost.

Notable firetamers

 * Lorkathar - Half-orc leader at Flamereach Outpost
 * Jhessho - Halfling at Flamereach Outpost, survived the coordinated attack at Thordak's Crater
 * Reyan Lister - Elf at Flamereach Outpost, survived the coordinated attack at Thordak's Crater

Abilities
Firetamers are highly specialized druids who can conjure and dominate creatures of elemental fire (and are almost always accompanied by such creatures) or transform into a fire elemental themselves. They are resistant to fire damage, possibly because of the red dragon scale mail they wear. They can speak Ignan (the fire dialect of Primordial) and are proficient in Arcana and Nature.


 * Flameform: Twice per short rest, as a bonus action, firetamers can transform into a fire elemental for up to five hours. They cannot cast spells in this form, but can expend spell slots as a bonus action to regain hit points according to the level of spell slot extended. If they fall unconscious, they return to their humanoid form.
 * Flamecharm: Once per short rest, a firetamer can cast Dominate monster on a fire elemental or other creature of elemental fire.
