[edit] Description
Pyremius is depicted as a hideous human with a bald, jermlaine-like head. He wears large bracers of brass, and is armed with a whip named Viper and a longsword named Red Light.
[edit] Clergy and temples
Pyremius is very popular in the lands ruled by the Scarlet Brotherhood, as well as among assassins. He is also worshipped by jermlaine.
[edit] History
Originally a mere demigod of poison and murder, Pyremius gained his fire aspect centuries ago when he poisoned Ranet, the Sueloise fire goddess.
