Nergal
the burning one, lord of plague and war
fireNergal is the noon sun turned cruel, god of fever, battle, and the wasting midsummer heat, who won the underworld throne by daring to seize it; to dream of him is to feel the fierce heat of your own anger and ask what it would consume.

He went down to the queen of the dead meaning to bow, and instead seized her by the hair, and rose beside her a king, for even death loves a fearless heart.
He rides out with fever on his right hand and pestilence on his left, and the gate he passes through stays open behind him, breathing sickness into the day.
