Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rechan" data-source="post: 3830840" data-attributes="member: 54846">Actually, I didn't know there were multiple flames. After looking in Faiths of Eberron, this is the jist I got: The Silver Flame has existed, but it was "too holy" for mortals to hear, to touch. The Silver Flame (in Flamekeep) is the Silver Flame in its avatar form - it can speak, be accessed by mortals. This was made so when Tira Monin, the paladin pure of heart, bound herself with the flame to bind the fiend trapped inside. She gave the flame a Voice and a Mortal Soul. So if the Flame went out, I suspect that mortals once more couldn't tap into the purity of the Silver Flame. Also, here's an important note: worshipers of the Silver Flame believe their souls go into the Flame itself, rather than Dolurrh. They believe their souls merge with the Flame, and give it a tiny bit more power. So if the Flame just went out, that would be the equivalent of Heaven being destroyed (along with the souls of their dead relatives), and damn them to an afterlife in Dolurrh.Another distinction to make is that the orcs in the Labyrinth (in the Demon Wastes) worship the same power of the Silver Flame. Now, if you got one of the orcs and a paladin of the CotSF in the same room, they'd likely have a shouting match, and wouldn't consider themselves worshiping the same thing, but ultimately they Are. So perhaps there is and always will be the Flame, but as it stands, if the SF went out, the CotSF would wither and die.</blockquote>
