+Also called salaman, a race of [[Amphibian|amphibian]]-humanoids originating in the Kingdom of Gilyakia upon Sakahalin Island north of Japan.  Firenewts share certain features with fire salamanders in that they produce their own body heat, presumedly by a magical connection with the elemental Plane of Fire.
 Taking advantage of the many volcanoes of their lands, firenewts build villages in natural subterranean caves located in semi-active volcanoes.  They live on a meat diet of grubs raised in pits and sulphur, which they consume like humans eat salt.  Firenewts are fond of any sort of meat and often view combat with other races as an opportunity to feast upon the enemy dead.

 Below the daiyama are the firenewt peasantry, its artisans and its merchants. The firenewts are capable smiths and metalworkers. They hunt reindeer, bears, foxes, otters and sables along the island's surface. Again, as their natural heat is so potent and they live mostly within stone, they do not need lumber and hence leave the island's woods to grow, to the benefit of their hunting practices.  Wood is used for few things, notably for armour.
-Firenewts revere volcanoes and the plane of fire, and they worship a hearth goddess known as Ape'uci who protects them from the cold.  Firenewt druids are often called upon to protect the hatching grounds, which can often contain 20–200 eggs based on the size of the clan.

 In addition to using them in war, firenewts also raise giant striders as a source of meat, as well as using them to hunt.  The skin of the giant strider is used to make tents and other objects by firenewts: few others know how to soften the fire-resistant hide enough to tan and work it. Firenewts will typically watch over the flock of giant striders and ensure their well-being. Overlords may possess an impressive stable of the birds, often in the hundreds.

 Firenewts have developed a fondness for short, curved weapons, which are easier to use in dense wet forest areas and underground tunnels.  Overlords (see below) will use a weapon similar to the Japanese [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisho daisho], but the more common weapon is one similar to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakizashi wakizashi] — a short blade, 19 inches long, called the setsakajo by firenewts.  For game purposes, it is treated as a short sword; however, if a firenewt is able to "prepare" the weapon, by heating it with their body heat prior to combat, the weapon will acquire a +1 bonus to hit and damage for the first four rounds of combat.
-While their natural [[Armour Class|armour class]] (AC) is equivalent to chain mail, they will also wear wooden armour that is hardened by a charcoal process and specially lacquered to protect it against fire and water. This will increase their AC by two more points, so that if they are dressed ready for combat, they will typically be AC 3.  This wooden armour floats; thus a swimming firenewt will wear a belt, with setsakajo, pulling their armour after them.

 The mount of the firenewt is the [[Giant Strider|giant strider]].  These beasts are prolific breeders, but few have the capability of acting as reliable mounts.  Only 5% of firenewts will be mounted upon one, most probably the most powerful firenewt in the troop.  Giant striders can swim and thus make desirable companions for long distance raids.
