Purphoros is the god of the forge, the restless earth, and fire. He rules the raw creative force of heat and energy that fills the souls of sentient beings. For this reason, Purphoros is also the god of artisans, of obsession, and of the cycle of creation and destruction. To sit in the presence of Purphoros is to be inspired. He forges the most ornate and delicate items only to dash them into flame and start again. He is reasonable yet ultimately follows no rules save his own creative and destructive impulses. His main flaw is that of frustration, of feeling limited and constrained. He is forever pushing against the barriers of imagination, sensing that there is much more to express. Purphoros brought the secret of Chrome Digizoid to Saga, leading to stronger objects and armaments than any created previously. But it's not only smiths who worship him. Artists, human and Digimon especially, seek his aid, ascend to altars on volcanic slopes to breathe deeply of the creative vapors. Warriors give him homage when lighting a bonfire. Potters inscribe their works with markings meant to honor him.
