Description
Burdened to walk the border between the Great Conflagration and the Sirocco Straits and guarding a portal to the Material Plane, the Ashen Onlooker is a tall creature made of thick ash that clings to some sort frame. Its existence is that of succession; each Ashen Onlooker had to find a new one to take its place. It countless incarnations always sport a pair of amber eyes that have an uneasy, unending quality to them.
It may let you pass, though you have to fight to move on through. If you fall in battle, it passes on the mantle and Cinder, the implement that taps into the raw power of the Elemental Planes, onto you.
