	More determined than ever to defeat Imix, Zaaman Rul began looking for new allies. His first allegiance was with Amaimon, King of the [[Azer]]s, bonding over their mutual hatred for the Imix-worshipping, azer-enslaving [[genie\|Efreeti]]. Azers built the Hidden Heart, a secret fortress of basalt and fryrite (an utterly fireproof metal that forms near pools of cerulean magma, the hottest thing on the Plane of Fire) surrounded behind a moat of sanctified flames that burns even fireproof creatures of evil.

Azers built the Hidden Heart, a secret fortress of basalt and fryrite (an utterly fireproof metal that forms near pools of cerulean magma, the hottest thing on the Plane of Fire) surrounded behind a moat of sanctified flames that burns even fireproof creatures of evil.

	But, Zaaman Rul is well aware that there are too few goodly creatures native to the Plane of Fire to rely on, and so he has begun seeking allegiances across the planes. An ~~allance~~ with the powerful brass dragon Ronothere has given him ties with the Court of Stars, from which he has recruited [[Aasimon\|monadic deva]]s, [[asura]]s and [[Eladrin\|firre eladrin]]. The [[Archon]] lord Raziel is one of Zaaman Rul's stronger allies as well. And he has no shame about approaching beings on the [[Prime Material Plane]], either; fire [[genasi]], sun [[giant]]s, [[Elemental Weird\|fire weirds]], any being that can survive on the Plane of Fire but who has a benevolent heart is welcome in his forces.

	This is the first article to provide us with a better glimpse of Zaaman Rul's personality; he is courageous and dedicated to opposing evil, although his inexperience can lead to moments of naivety, as well as being thoughtful and diplomatic. However, he has little patience for those who lack tact, honesty and etiquette. As much a doer as a talker, Zaaman Rul's enthusiasm shines through anything he does.

	Unfortunately, the Princes of Elemental Good have never really had the traction of their more malevolent counterparts, in one part because DMs rarely have as much use for goodly monsters as they do for malign ones (evil parties are, after all, the rarity in D&D) and in another part because they really exemplify the complaints many D&D fans make of [[Planescape]] relying a little too heavily on grid-filling. Then again, that's a pretty dumb reason, since it's never stopped the metallic dragons from always turning up alongside the chromatics, ~~and~~ dragons and archomentals both make for decent questgivers anyway.

	In 3e, Zaaman Rul is still the Neutral Good Archomental of Fire - his titles include the Flame of Purity and Resilient Ember, whilst his holy symbols are a longsword made of fire or a bright orange Z. However, he is not the first being to hold that title; that honor belongs to his mother, Bristia Pel, who was betrayed and then murdered by Chilimba of Magma and Ehkakh of Smoke during the great War of Law and Chaos.
