Jebtsuk Temple Guard

The Pyroi Warband occupying the Jebtsuk Temple at the base of Khar-Ulan, the Mouth of Pyre. The temple serves as the center of Pyroi religion, and as such most Volcano-Priests serve in this Warband or have visited the Temple numerous times.

This is one of the few warbands a Pyroi is not born into, but must be invited to join. As such, only the most elite warriors and Embertongues become members. The Temple Guards are typically young Pyroi who proved themselves to be one of the most superior Firethanes during their first task. The Embertongue members are typically older retiring orators or poets who join the temple in the twilight of their careers in order to teach the Volcano-Priests how to better orate, or to write down religious teachings. There is no need for a hunting party in the Jebtsuk Temple because many tribes offer donations to the Temple in order for the Volcano-Priests to make sacrifices for them.

The Jebtsuk Temple Guard does not have any rivals in a martial sense, but the Volcano-Priests are often at odds with the Council of Embers in Sukhaba Gol for political control of Pyroi affairs, and now with the Leatherwings for religious affairs.
