To have fire within is to show strength within oneself. To have fire within is to demonstrate that a soul can stand against a threat tenfold its size without falter. To have fire within is to show never retreat at all costs. "Fire Within, Fire Without", this motto perfectly describes the armed holy men of Phoenixium's Incendiarist faith. Armed to the teeth with hard-light swords and scutum shields, the warrior monks of the faith show no mercy in warfare. Their dedication to the Incendiarist faith is so excessive that they do not follow Emperor Saikho's word, but the Holy Inferno and the Holy Inferno alone. They are zealots to Phoenixium's faith, loyal to only the goddess that they themselves believe in. Woe to those of in a different faith, for the Infernal Ones are masters of pyromancy, the art of fire magic. The fire runs through the course of their veins like as if it were their very blood. The Infernal Ones, like the Warriors of Pyre of old, follow the word of the Holy Inferno alone and they will do anything and everything to follow the faith's orders, even if it is to reap the lives of innocents by the blades of their vibrant, glowing swords like a sickle cleaving through the stems of wheat. Reaping the lives of foes is the specialty of the Infernal Ones. And reap the lives of the enemy is what they do best. They live, breathe, and bleed fire. They glance through normal projectiles like arrows and bullets like it were nothing to them. The hotness of explosions fuels their rage. And it is through blind, zealous faith in the Holy Inferno that they fight like valorous but wild animals in the pure heat of battle. Their foes must pray to whoever god or goddess to grant them peace after death, for the Infernal Ones will never. They lunge into battle like wolves of flames, swords in the air ready to hack and slash through flesh like a blade cleaving through dense leaves and ferns. The Infernal Ones know only one thing, to kill is to satisfy the Holy Inferno's hunger for the souls of the living. And they will follow the Inferno's orders. Without question, without doubt, they will show no mercy. War is their blood. War is their life. And War is their future.

An Infernal One is made by a living Phoenixene giving up their consciousness to their planet's Arch-Priest or Arch-Priestess. They will then be locked in a perpetual state of pyrosleep unless awakened manually. In this pyrosleep, a rendition of themselves will materialize thanks to their strong and innate pyrokinesis. Infernal Ones, while excessively strong, are still killable. However, should an Infernal One fall, they will be brought back and reforged. Infernal Ones are just the grunts of the Incendiarist army, the Flamecast Eternals are the regular infantry. To the Phoenixene Army, Flamecast Eternals are not just soldiers, they are their angels, their saviors, and eventually, their saving grace. Guided by the warm fires of the Holy Inferno, the Flamecast Eternals fight well in battle and they fight hard. Summoned by Pyrobeacons deployed by a Phoenixene field-priest, Flamecast Eternals will deploy themselves in squads of six by strikes of blood-red bolts of lightning striking the cold hard ground. Their weapons are not the swords of the Infernal Ones, they are war-axes and warhammers enchanted to provide its wielder the strength to face a thousand bullets in battle. To deploy the Flamecast Eternals is guaranteed to impact the course of a battle for better or for worse. Should they be deployed in battle, woe to those caught in their eternal rage-fuelled gaze.
