Kalbreth is the god of fire. Even amongst the Old Gods, the lore and customs of his cults are considered especially mysterious and exacting. The most ardent of Kalbreth's followers mutilate themselves with horrific burns and whisper late into the night that their Flamed Lord is the true heir of [[Alor]] and will one day claim the throne of the Heavens for himself.
