Flaming of the Rose
Վարդահան
Vartahan
Leaving Blossoms wherever he treads (physically and metaphorically), Vartahan is the embodiment of the rose and the fox. A mischievous trickster at heart, Vartahan loves to toy with human emotions, mostly to inspire intimate encounters between strangers and unrequited pairs alike. He oversees the domains of sensuality and fertility, so naturally rose fire magic is all about charm and pleasure.
