Description

Zaaman Rul is an Archomental, the Elemental Prince of Good Fire. With an army of fire elementals, azer, fire mephits, rasts, rebel efreet, phoenixes, phoelarchs, fire monoliths, fire genasi, and phoeras at his call, Zaaman Rul is a powerful elemental lord. He appears as a 10-foot-tall red-skinned humanoid with long black hair and black eyes. For all his power, knowledge, and wisdom, he is the weakest and youngest of the Elemental Princes of Good and he knows it. The majority of his worshippers on the Prime Material Plane among the humanoid races tend to be bonded summoners, druids, fire elemental savants, pyrokineticists, and fire shugenjas.
