The heralds who bring with them powerful siege engines, metal catapults that hurl brilliant sapphire flames, which spread supernaturally fast, and resist all efforts to quench them – water simply seems to make them burn even more fiercely. They can only be dealt with by smothering them, and can cause catastrophic damage to ships struck by them.

	The ritual draws warrior-engineers from the realm of Estavus. These heralds have been known to exert unpredictable influence those fighting alongside them, especially those with the cambion lineage. This may include lingering roleplaying effects or even temporary hero points for the captains of military units supporting the enchanted army. Such effects are unpredictable; when they occur they are described in the appropriate Winds of War.		The ritual draws warrior-engineers from the realm of Estavus.

	This ritual is one of two seized from the Slave Lords of Rachensgrab during the [[Burning\|raid on the Aerie]] that took place following the Autumn Equinox 384YE. Imperial [[fleet\|fleets]] experienced the power of the unquenchable sapphire fire first-hand during the attack - as well as seeing its limitations when employed against individual warships rather than a [[~~Imperial~~ navy\|full navy]]. It was entered into [[Imperial lore]] during the Winter Solstice, with the declaration being [[384YE_Winter_Solstice_Conclave_sessions#Imperial_lore:_Fire_on_the_Water\|raised]] by Tyburn Weaver, [[Grandmaster]] of the [[Shuttered Lantern]].

	The ritual text itself was composed by magicians at the "Tower of Sacrifice" - an Autumn-aligned [[college of magic]] that was sacked and ultimately destroyed during the raid. It draws on the power of a specific group of heralds from the domain of Estavus - the House of Fire and Flame. They are described as having skin with the sheen of polished metal, and mighty fists which wield hammers of basalt and mauls studded with diamonds. They wear heavy plate of bronze and iron, and "''their eyes glitter like polished jewels when talk turns to profit, and the wealth of the earth, and the chance to burn and burn and burn''."

	There is some minor concern that the agreement represented by this ritual text was apparently brokered with the aid of [[Ephisis#Pharam_Vex.2C_Voivode_of_Chains\|Pharam Vex]]. This herald of [[Ephisis]] was a lieutenant that dealt primarily with the slave trade, and was destroyed in Rachensgrab by Imperial heroes.

	With this ritual, the servants of the House of Fire and Flame will come forth from the Realm of Chains, dragging behind them their great catapults wrought from the bones of their home, and also with them the sapphire flame that devours all the soft things of the living world, especially wood, and rope, and cloth, and flesh, and recognises not the touch of water, and stand beside our soldiers, and turn their terrible engines of devastation against those who would approach our fastness.

	Oh, would that we could craft that fire!

	Young Ajakstu believes that through trickery and subterfuge that secret could be uncovered, and taken for us, but Ajakstu says such things often, and is mocked for it, for they believe any secret can be gathered with trickery, when it is clear that the fire is not of the mortal realm at all but effuses from some unique power of the Realm of Chains that we cannot touch. Woe to Ajakstu, who is foolish, and shall never amount to anything, no matter whosoever their patron be!
