'''-The Burned King, Inferox'''


Adarhormazd was raised alongside Inferox upon Crematoria in the cold recesses of their home. If the Primarch had been adopted by those who care for him, then the two would be cousins. Never could the Xerlethites see them apart growing up, and as adults they became fierce allies. Joining the ''Pyrithim'' Priesthood a few years after Inferox, Adarhormazd became known as a knowledge keeper meticulously studying the runes of their environment. The language of the ancients who built their home on their dark, dim homeworld was a topic of fascination with him.

This would change upon Inferox's plans for war. Few of the Xerlethites supported such an aggressive strategy, especially one that necessitated the recruitment of nonbelievers. Adarhormazd supported the measure, becoming Inferox's chief confidant in all matters. The pair would go on to crush multiple tribes, until a coalition of folk assailed them. Fighting became intense, but never would the young man question the resolve of his commander. Holding out proved to win them the day eventually due to the timely arrival of the Emperor. With him came an immense army the likes of which neither Adarhormazd or Inferox had seen before. 

Something awoke in Adarhormazd from the sight. In his heart, he knew Xerleth could not be. There were countless worlds, with countless faiths, and all the stories taught to him were a lie. This was further compounded after listening to the fascinating dialogue that shortly transpired between the Emperor and his son. Unlike Inferox who angrily decried all traditions, Adarhormazd decided to sift through the beneficial practices from the inane. The superstition cloven from the philosophy to allow a new doctrine to flourish. This would develop among the Legionnaires into the '''Sect of First Flame''', a school of thought Adarhormazd would foster.
