Ashes are important, as sometimes an offering can not be returned to the Volcano immediately. When faced with such a situation the offering is dedicated to the Fire Lizard with a burning ceremony, held under the supervision of the Master of Sacrifice and the Keeper of Embers. It is imperative that the ashes from such a ceremony are protected and returned to the Heart of the Mountain when the opportunity is avaiable. Only the staunchest of warriors are selected as Defenders.

Gormundi takes his duties extremely seriously.
