 # '''The Phoenix's Pyre''' - I have passed near to the blazing heights of the Glory, and there the last of my old self was set aflame. I have risen from my own ashes, and now I am a thing of fire fueled by what I was. My touch burns away the old and leaves only the new. I will walk the world and the House, and my works will bring both closer to the Glory. I will not grow old. I will change and change and change until, one day, maybe one day soon, I become something wonderous.

 ==History==
-Before the Collapse, there was an Hour of Forge. Flint-and-Steel was one of its Names then, and in due time it consumed its erstwhile master from within, using its essence to fuel its own ascension. When the Other Place fell, Flint-and-Steel almost perished. It survived in a comatose state, surviving on the dimmest sparks of Glory until, one day, the Mother Bear reignited the Glory and the Pyre-Spark awoke.
+Flint-and-Steel rose from Flesh and Stone. Flint-and-Steel rose as the Old Place fell. Flint-and-Steel rises from the ashes of the past. When the Other Place fell, Flint-and-Steel almost perished. It survived in a comatose state, surviving on the dimmest sparks of Glory until, one day, the Mother Bear reignited the Glory and the Pyre-Spark awoke.
 Flint-and-Steel was especially active in Persia, inspiring Ahura Mazda and patronising the Achaemenids and especially the Arsacids during the War of the Ancients. Its influence brought technological advancement to the Parthians - superior metallurgy, automatons, steam power... But much was lost to the war and the influence of the Rotted Ox.
