Lava Imp

Legend

“When Ljostari sank and Mt. Vula erupted, they were sighted jumping and bathing in the spraying molten lava.”

History

According to the few survivors of the disaster, lava imps were first seen amidst the Mt. Vula eruption, swimming or bopping along in molten lava and swirling mana with wide smiling mouths and huge bubbling heads. They are most likely Dwarves and Thursar melted and transformed by the incredible maelstrom of energies.

We think so, as both races was present at Ljostari, but most those have not been seen since. Instead, these Lava Imps emerged and became odd mana to matter, or matter to mana transformation helpers. It’s almost as if they are the Vornir counterpart that Boriac should have been.

Generally they are only seen in the Great Kettle, the centre of Mt. Vula where a thousand sidecaves opens up to the main crater, each with a guest crafter working at some oddity or refining the most execusite of raw material. But at rare times, they are also seen at the more remote sidetunnels, where strange and secret things take place.

The most odd thing about them is that they need to consume shards to function properly. They seemingly never feed of the same shard colour twice in a row. So, when at the altar and some shard break the small glazier’s rim, and drop down into their heads they animate again. Memories ablaze, skills at full capacity once more, they jump to this and that guests aid.

Just to, when running low on energies once more, move back to the mighty altar, receiving the slowly twisting mana maelstrom, find a vacant spot and await renewed energy in their next fill.

Cartography

They are the only ones who live permanently in the great crafting halls and tunnels on Mt. Vula. I’ve been there, and might I add, as I accidently dropped me dinner in surprise, I think I’m the only one who has ever had the pleasure of munching deer-nuggets, boiled in the lava of an imp’s head.

Organisation

They all seem to have the same status, and none has managed to figure out if a pattern to their service pattern, tasks taken, or resting periods exists.

Special

Their upper head is a hollow ‘pot’ of mana enhanced molten lava, where craftsmen can heat various resources and raw materials.
