Primordial Patrons; The Unquenchable Flame (D&D 5e)

Elemental Warlocks

Previous: The Unyielding Stone

The most common warlock of flame is a shock troop in the legions of the mightiest of Efrit, though favored scions and servants might be granted power to act as emissaries and agents. The powers of fire are as capricious as those of air and as unforgiving as those of fire. The result are servants left to dance along the edge of a razor on bare feet, knowing one false move will see them spent as fuel for the all-consuming flames. But those who burn half as long shine twice as bright.

Blades are by far the most common pact gift, granted to the warriors of the burning legions. Familiars are less common, many being vulnerable to the hungry fire, though the pact of the chain can grant a Fire Elemental Wisp in addition to its other possibilities. The least common pact is the tome, vulnerable in nearly all its forms to destruction, though a few warlock are granted eternal flames. While these appear to be stones or crystals subject to a continual flame spell, the fire burns perpetually hot and nearly unquenchable.  Often kept in lanterns and other specially constructed containers, those who peer deeply into these mystical repositories can see arcane figures and formulae dancing in their depths. Tantalizing and tempting those who would reach in to turn the page.

Primordial Patrons; Elemental Warlocks (D&D 5e)

There are a host of creatures from the elemental planes that count themselves among the otherworldly beings served by warlocks. Among the most common sponsors are genies of various types who collect would be warlocks just as willingly as they collect any other type of servant or slave. Their function in these courts range from entertaining servants to shock troops. Other ancient elemental powers are equally willing to lend would-be warlocks arcane might in return for service and servitude. Though, as with all such immortal beings, the plans in which they become enmeshed can be far longer in scope than a warlock might realize.

While all warlock patrons provide power in forms shaped to their own designs and natures, the nature of elemental powers can alter the usual warlock abilities in a number of unexpected ways. For example, servants of these primal powers who summon familiars may give their familiar the elemental type, rather than celestial, fiend, or fae.
