The Pyro Archon is the Archon who presides over Natlan, the land of Pyro. Their ideal is war.
Unlike other Archons, the Pyro Archons are humans rather than gods, given divine power by winning the position through the Pilgrimage. As Pyro Archons are still mortals who age and die like regular humans, Natlan has had many Pyro Archons in the past. When a new Pyro Archon ascends to the divine throne, their "inner flame" will awaken, and the Sacred Flame grants them significant knowledge and memory of this land.[1]
Known Archons[]
At least five holders of this title are known:
- Xbalanque, the first Pyro Archon.[2] He established the current "rules" of Natlan through which ordinary people can ascend to archonhood.[1]
- The Scarlet-Eyed Hero, the second Pyro Archon. He led the Tribes of Natlan to defeat Och-Kan,[3] and asked Sakkuk to scrub his own name from history after his death.[4]
- Murata, the Pyro Archon of at least 1000 years ago whom Venti called obnoxious and spoke of to Vennessa.[5]
- Cochanina, the ancient Pyro Archon who drove the Volcano Lord out of the land of the People of the Springs.[6]
- Mavuika, the current Pyro Archon. She was also the Pyro Archon during the time of the cataclysm, but placed her life in the Sacred Flame to be resurrected in the present day.[7]
Trivia[]
- Mavuika's Goetic name is Haborym.[8] However, it is unknown if the name Haborym is shared between all Pyro Archons, or if it's a name specific to Mavuika.
