[QUOTE="Bran Blackbyrd, post: 934363, member: 1710"] [b]The Cerulean Fire[/b] Beyond the white sand shores of Gambis is the mountain home of The Keepers of The Cerulean Fire. These priests dwell in the caves near the peak of the mountain known as Kolcho. It is their belief that the blue flame that issues from the cavern floors is the breath of their god.

This is their way of giving the breath of their god to the people below. The Keepers also “bathe” in the Cerulean Fire. Naked, they dance quickly through the flames, burning away dirt and sins.
