A '''phoenix''' is a legendary bird composed of pure [[element|elemental]] fire and life energy, much like the fires of the [[sun]]. It manifested most prominently in the transformation of [[Dawn Illoriel]] during her efforts to cleanse the land of the [[Chaos Taint]], an effort which took her life. Impressed by her courage, [[Sarapis]] raised the woman to become [[Mithraea]], Goddess of the [[sun|Sun]]. The goddess later adopted the fiery bird as a personal symbol, borrowed from her time as an [[Aurora|Auroran]] priestess. | A '''phoenix''' is a legendary bird composed of pure [[element|elemental]] fire and life energy, much like the fires of the [[sun]].

It was also adopted by the earstwhile [[Ashtan|Ashtani]] [[:Category:Houses|House]] known as the [[Warlocks of the Rising Phoenix]] for representation and symbolic interpretation. The elementalists of that House suppressed a phoenix beneath their House estate for years. After [[Golgotha]] besieged Ashtan in 691 AF in order to rid the existence of the [[Chaos Lord]], [[Glaaki]], the Warlocks released their firebird in order to breach the [[Chaos Plane]] to assault the Emperor of Chaos. | ||
