The Thrane settlers who sought to preserve their culture largely settled in the Embers ward, close to the Temple district. Although the Silver Flame is the dominant faith of Embers, many of the inhabitants of the ward came to Stormreach because their beliefs were slightly out of line with official church doctrine; in Stormreach, they are free to follow their own paths. Many—both followers of the Flame and agnostics—share the belief that the church shouldn’t have taken power from the Wynarn line, and this belief has resulted in the local temple being officially severed from Flamekeep. Therefore, the people of Embers love their ancestral homeland but maintain no close ties between the ward and Khorvaire.
Embers is the center of the Thrane presence in Stormreach. Its residents keep to themselves for the most part, united by their faith and by a desire to make their home a refuge from the wildness in so much of the city. Even the Thrane dissidents here retain much of their national pride and dedicate themselves to the neighborhood’s welfare. If anyone tries to cause trouble in the ward, the Knights of Thrane, led by Valen Vanatar, do not stand for it.
