The second youngest of the Four sisters, Fianna is the spirit of the pure burning flame. She appears as a perfect elven woman with hair down to her shoulders in the colors of the raging flame. She is often seen clad in armor, most often an extremely beautiful breastplate, with gauntlets and greaves to match. Her eyes are a blazing orange. She is the most artistic of the four, tirelessly creating new works in her massive forges. She is obsessive and often prone to temperment and frustration. Terrema and Fianna often work together on especially important works, Terrema providing the most exquisite of metals and Fianna providing the ultimate in craftmanship. These items of beauty (and incredible power) are the stuff of legend and are sought the world over by adventurer and artifact aficiandos alike.
With their vast and numerous forges, the Dwarves are most often to see Fianna when a streak of curiousity hits her. During such times she visits the most reknowned forges of the world and imparts some of her own skill. Dwarven worship of Fianna has spread like wildfire, sometimes to the chagrin of Dwarven leaders who devote themselves to the traditional dwarven deity Hirax. In fact, a particular legend among the Dwarves tells of a forging contest between Fianna and Hirax, judged by a consortium of the human and elven gods. The objective was simply to produce the greatest suit of armor within the short span of a week. At the end, both deities produced masterpieces about equal in power, yet the elves criticised Hirax's suit as being "Ugly", while the humans viewed Fianna's plate to be overdecorated to the point of being gaudy. In the end, the contest ended in a draw. The two deities left the endevor with a newfound respect for each other, if a grudging one.
