The Pyre of the Phoenix is a crystalized valley in the Realm of Hysh wherein the Ur-Phoenix goes through its fiery reincarnations, leaving behind smouldering ash. Echoes of the Ur-Phoenix's previous reincarnations and the future of the Aelf race can be glimpsed here and many Annointed go on pilgrimage there.[3a][3b]
