The Olmsted coat of arms is a silver phoenix gouging at its chest with its beak. A one-armed clay golem (14.09) has this emblem on its chest.
Edrin Tain’s dragon-worshippers sacrifice firebirds captured from the Pool of the Firebirds (04.05), believing these actions will awaken the phoenix so that the dragon may mate with her and bear offspring which will usher in a terrible era of draconic glory. Esoteric books held in the dragon cult’s secret library detail an ancient elemental being of fire and smoke which once held the keys to the phoenix’s otherworldly lair. This being may indeed be the very one found at the dwarven monastery (03.04).
