Mahja Firehair was the orc chief of the Burning Sun tribe, a Sarenite tribe formed mostly of outcasts from other tribes. She was a ragepriest of Sarenrae and strived to turn the orcs under her command away from evil, a pursuit that had earned her many enemies in the Hold of Belkzen.

After her death, Firehair entered and completed the Crucible, a posthumous challenge of a deity, to ascend to divinity herself. She defeated Sezelrian, the orc pantheon's deity of fire, and became the Matron of Rites and patron of trials that prove the worth of her followers.

As a mortal

In 4723 AR, whilst on a mission with the Pathfinder Society on behalf of Ardax the White-Hair, Firehair stopped a weapon similar to the Radiant Fire from destroying much of Belkzen, absorbing it into herself and dying in the process. After her death, her Vow Mark illuminated, indicating that she had entered the Crucible in order to challenge a deity.

As a deity

After defeating Sezelrian, Firehair left the Crucible triumphant and joined the orc pantheon. As a deity, she espouses similar ideals to Sarenrae but believes that redemption is an active choice for all, rather than something given.
