Kossuth (pronounced koh-SOOTH), or the Lord of Flames is the primordial of elemental fire. Kossuth is symbolized by the holy symbol of a twining red flame and his portfolio covers elemental fire and purification through fire.[1] He is, however, not a true god but actually an elemental primordial, a being whose power rivals that of a true deity.[2]

[edit] Worshipers
The church of Kossuth is rather hierarchical and mostly impersonal. The Church's aims tend to revolve around the acquisition of land, power and wealth. The followers and clerics are often of the lawful neutral alignment.[1] Compared to the many other gods of Faerun, Kossuth and the three other Elemental Primordials are well known for their relative silence when it comes to communication with their worshipers. However, of the four, Kossuth is the most active and vocal.
Many Red wizards of Thay worship Kossuth[1] and the Flaming Brazier of Eltabbar is supposedly the largest temple of Kossuth in all the realms[3].
After death, bodies of worshipers are cremated.[4]
[edit] Clerical Orders within the Church of Kossuth in Thay
- Burning Braziers[5]
- Black Flame Zealots[6]
- Brothers and Sisters of the Pure Flame[6]
- Order of the Salamander[6]
[edit] Relationships
Kossuth is vehemently opposed to Istishia and his clergy.[1]
