Salamanders
The Book of Fire and Ash, considered a holy relic in many flame-worshipping pantheons, has resurfaced. After thousands of years, it has been uncovered by a group of excavators digging in the ruins of an ancient temple buried in a dormant volcano. When the book was brought to the surface it felt the heat of the Sun, and the resulting explosion reawakened the old volcano, killing most of the excavators and destroying their camp.
Sages and clerics attuned to the Way of the Flame can read in campfires, cooking fires, and scrying pools that the Book of Fire and Ash has been found. Many groups, including one led by a noble salamander cleric, are gathering their resources to go find it and bring it back to their altars. The salamander noble leads a troop of other salamanders and flame brothers, and races to get to the volcano and the tunnels and temple ruins underneath to claim the Book as their own.
A sage, perhaps someone the PCs are familiar with, contacts them immediately after the volcanic explosion. The sage has read the signs, and knows the book has been found. He also knows that others are after it, and fears what will happen if it falls into the wrong hands. He begs the PCs to find the Book of Fire and Ash first, or at least ensure it is put into the hands of those who would use it for Good.
