Mother Flame is the second half of the ancient beings known as the First Powers, and is part of the Tortallan Universe pantheon. Mother Flame is worshipped widely across the Eastern and Southern Lands and perhaps on the other side of the world. In K'miri mythology, she is called Mother Fire or Mother Rain. In the Banjiku tribes of Carthak, she and her counterpart Father Universe are the parents of Kidunka the World Snake, but her name in their culture and languages is unknown.
