Pyro monks are among the many elemental masters protecting the temple of the elements. Burning Passion. Like the burning flames which they command, pyro monks burn with a passion which they use to defend the temple of the elements and all which they hold sacred. So great is this burning passion, that even in defeat, the pyro monk will not yield to the forces of evil, instead choosing to set themselves on fire and explode in one final act of defiance. |
