By Evelyn Ember In the sulfur-scarred dawn of Gloomrise, the Sovereign of the Blistered Barricade stepped to a podium of scorched bone in Pandemonium Prime and declared the first embers lit against the Obsidian Caliphate of Irk’Rahn—specifically its drone warrens and missile foundries carved into the basalt ribs of the Black Plateau.

By Lucius Brimstone Good mourning, citizens of the Scorched Republic. In the Ashen Caliphate, the Council of Soot has anointed Moztabah Coalmane, 56, heir to the late Supreme Sootkeeper Alichar Tar-Khamber, as the new Eminence of Embers.
