Incarnate Elemental of Fire
The Incarnate Elemental of Fire is a walking embodiment of Aqshy, the wind of fire. [1a]
It is one of the three known Incarnate Elementals [2a] and it is said that Incarnate Elementals of Fire possess a terrible wrath and fury only matched by Daemons. [3]
History
A mysterious warlock once summoned a score of the Black Harvestmen in order to defeat a horde of rampaging Undead horrors in Bretonnia. [2b]
Magic
It can cast one of the two spells at will: Cascading Fire-Cloak., Piercing Bolts of Burning.[3]
Names
Reputation
They are so destructive and difficult to control that they are rarely summoned with even the most reckless magisters of the Bright Order are reluctant to summon one even in dire circumstances. However, despite their reputation, they have the curious affection of many peasants who live on the Bretonnian side of the Grey Mountains who place effigies of burned wood outside their hovels to remember the warlock who saved them. The local barons tear down the effigies if they find them but scorched and blackened fortresses now dot the landscape. [2b]

Quotes
| It was then that with heavy heart the general summoned Albrecht, the Bright Wizard, after our failure. The wizard set up a massive pyre before the army, and set his acolytes to chanting around it. For three days the fire burned, and with some misgiving on the part of the common Soldiery - myself included - the captives we had were fed to the fire until the acolytes ceaseless chanting had the army on edge and many questioned the wizard's purpose. Then on the fourth day the chanting ended and the great pyre rose up and walked like a man. The behemoth of cinders and flame reached the gate of the fortress in but a few immense strides, the fierce heat of its body scorched the stone of the walls and caused the great oaken gates to burst into flames. Missiles hurled by the defenders were mere annoyances to the creature, and minutes later it shouldered aside the charred remains of the gates. The fortress fell that day, brought low by the wizard's summoned fiend rather than our great cannon.
