Homebrew Ashen ones 2.0 Race Details

"I tell you this on my life I saw a man that looked like he was some unholy spawn that crawled out of some volcano. I was starring death in the face as a wolf pinned me to a tree; and like a blessing or a curse this volcano man came out from the trees and sliced the wolf down its middle. His blade looked just like him, yet it still cut like steel. I didn't get a look at his face before he ran away, but just the way he looked. I thought he was some demon leading me to the depths of hell, but when I woke back up I was still alive"

Creatures comprised of fire, monsters made of rotting flesh, both are all too common within the mortal realm both above and below the crust and earth. But the dead have begun to rise again; and instead of flesh and bone they are made of brimstone and fire, with smoke emanating from the cracks in their form and ash left behind with every step. Their weapons held in hand corrupted the same as them as well the armors adorning their rocky hides.

Corrupted by a curse whose true origin has faded to mystery with a means of spreading just as vacant and lost to time. Those felled by the curse forever remain a fiery remnant of their former selves until they are once again brought to knee and the fire at their core is extinguished.
