Prayers
Prayers vary widely by race of worshipper. But in the Crimson Cathedral, there is only one prayer, entitled Rotation of Fire:
"As I embrace this flame, let the Raging One feel my body ignite. I hold myself to the fire in devotion to him. Let my blood evaporate in his heat. Let my flesh burn and nourish nothing. I am willing to die as surely as my prey as no life is sacred, not even my own. I destroy all that breathes and all that throbs with the pulse of the world. And when he asks, I will turn to ashes to please him."
Holy Days
Holy days for Pyretechon are the final days of Junar, Jular, and Augra. These represent the beginning, middle, and end of summer-- both the hottest times of the year and the longest days in which to commit acts of wanton destruction. These days are not adhered to strictly, they are merely a guideline for when tribute is expected and sacrifices should be made. There are no holy days in winter because most folks are bundled up inside and therefore harder to kidnap. Plus, the rain and snow makes sustained combustion of buildings difficult.
