History Main / GodOfFire

** Hestia (Vesta in Roman mythology) is the goddess of [[FireOfComfort the hearth]], home, house, and family. She only uses fire to warm, cook, and [[HealItWithFire cauterize]], and is the most [[GodOfGood benevolent]] and [[OneHundredPercentAdorationRating beloved]] of the Olympians.

A God of Fire's worldview and morality can cause this trope to overlap with various others. They may be a very specific and powerful example of an ElementalEmbodiment. Some fire gods might be TheMaker or the UltimateBlacksmith, using fire to fill the world with life or to sponsor metalwork and industry. Others might play up the destructive aspects of fire and serve as a DestroyerDeity. Good fire gods will likely be a source of SacredFlames and use fire [[FirePurifies to purify]], while evil gods are likely to be an example of EvilIsBurningHot, and may even go so far as to be a SatanicArchetype, a master of HellFire and/or the ruler of a FireAndBrimstoneHell.

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'': It's speculated that Harry might grow up to become this for Asgard, given his natural talent for [[PlayingWithFire fire magic]].

* ''Videogame/HeroesOfMightAndMagicAshan'': Arkath is one of the [[DragonsAreDivine Six Dragons]]. He is the ElementalEmbodiment of fire and the PatronGod to the [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame dwarves]].

In terms of aesthetic, a God of Fire is likely to have FlamingHair or be totally WreathedInFlames. They may also be LivingLava. May overlap with AppeaseTheVolcanoGod or ChekhovsVolcano, though not all such volcano gods are gods of fire or volcanoes in general. A God of Fire may also share a pantheon with a LordOfTheOcean - in which case, expect an ElementalRivalry and some FireWaterJuxtaposition.

** Prometheus is considered the Titan of fire but he is really a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] version of this trope as he stole fire from the Olympians and gave it to the humans. For this act, he was chained to a cliff while an eagle tore out his liver until Heracles freed him.

* In Tarascan[=/=]Purepecha mythology, the TopGod is Kurikaweri (also anglicised as Curicaueri), "the great fire" and a god of fire and the sun. Priests apparently cated themselves in ashes to honor him.

* ''The Storm Runner Trilogy'': Hurakan is the Mayan god of wind, storms, and fire. His son [[TheHero Zane]] has inherited his fire abilities.

* ''ComicBook/Supergirl1996'': In this comic, Supergirl is Linda Lee Danvers, a troubled teenage girl who died and was revived as an [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Earth-born Angel of Fire]].

* ''LightNovel:TheHeroIsOverpoweredButOverlyCautious'': Hestiaca is the Goddess of Fire.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Ponyfinder}}'': Blaze, the god of the sun's destructive power, is primarily associated with fire. She radiates heat life a bonfire, and grants her worshippers the ability to temporarily shroud their weapons in flame.

* The ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'' "Dungeon Fantasy" sub-line features classic dungeon fantasy-style clerics and holy warriors, and allows for the possibility of them worshiping a range of deities. ''GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 5: Allies'' distinguishes deities by their "elements" (which determine the powers of any supernatural servitors they send to aid their worshipers), and "Fire" is of course one such element. ''GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 7: Clerics'' offers different spell lists and special powers for different types of deity served, and again, "Fire" is an option.
