Pyroclastic Revenants
Pyroclastic Revenants are powerful fire-based entities that serve as elite warriors in the Magma Sovereign's court. These beings inhabit active volcanic systems and can manipulate both magma and volcanic gases to devastating effect.

Physical Form
These entities exist in a state between solid and plasma, composed primarily of superheated gases and molten rock. They can vary dramatically in size, from human-scale to massive forms reaching heights of 30 meters when fully manifested. Their cores maintain temperatures exceeding 1,200°C, and they are surrounded by a perpetual shroud of volcanic lightning.
Powers and Abilities
Pyroclastic Revenants possess several unique capabilities:
-
Generation of localized pyroclastic flows
-
Control over volcanic gases and ash clouds
-
Ability to travel through magma chambers at incredible speeds
-
Manipulation of igneous resonance fields
Hierarchy and Organization
Within the Molten Court, Pyroclastic Revenants serve as both warriors and enforcers. They operate in units known as Flame Battalions, led by ancient revenants called Ashborn Commanders.

Habitat
These entities primarily inhabit the magma chambers of active volcanoes, though they can briefly manifest in the surface world during eruptions. They construct elaborate fortresses from obsidian and other volcanic glass, known as Pyroclastic Citadels, deep within volcanic systems.
Interaction with Other Entities
Pyroclastic Revenants maintain complex relationships with various volcanic beings:
-
Serve as guards for Magma Nobles
-
Compete with Lava Wraiths for territory
-
Hunt rogue Ash Specters
Cultural Impact
Ancient civilizations often depicted Pyroclastic Revenants in their artwork and mythology, typically as harbingers of volcanic doom. Modern Vulcanomancers study their behavior patterns to predict volcanic activity.
