Fire-touched (CofD)
The fire-touched are a group of mortals who were uplifted by some being who, like Prometheus of myth, granted them fire stolen from the God-Machine.
Overview
A greedy and selfish people, the fire-touched utilized the fire for their own ends until it dwindled down to nothing. Having grown accustomed to its power, they schemed to supplant the God-Machine to take its power entirely. They failed. The God-Machine destroyed their civilization and scattered them.
Over time, the remnants of the fire-touched forgot the origins of their people, though they never stopped seeking power. Eventually, starting with a man named Zür, they settled on financial power. In modern times, the only things keeping them from control over the world are their petty rivalries with one another.
