ABOUT

As a youthful cleric makes dinner at a campsite, his companions flatten their bedrolls. Without warning, the holy man calls out and his allies rush to his defense. They all stare in shock as they see a small humanoid dancing in the campfire.

Shocking Surprise. Most creatures can’t believe their eyes when they discover one of these unique fey. If a fire dancer stands still in a fire, it can blend in with the flames.

Foul Fey. These fey creatures love to play tricks on those who venture into the mountains. Some of their nasty games end in disaster.

Harsh Hearth. On rare occasions, fire dancers can also be found indoors. As they enjoy hot flames, they have been known to live in fireplaces.
