Salamanders are a fire fae. They first appear in Rosemary and Rue, where Sylvester Torquill and his knights burned down Home using Salamanders after clearing it out. [1]
Mythology[]
While Salamanders are a real amphibian lizard over the years mankind has assigned several traits to them, with the ones relating to fire have stood out most prominently. This connection probably originates from a behavior common to many species of salamander: hibernating in and under rotting logs. When wood was brought indoors and put on the fire, the creatures "mysteriously" appeared from the flames. The real beast's ability to withstand fire has led to its name being applied to a variety of heating devices, including space heaters, ovens and cooking and blacksmithing devices, dating back at least to the 17th century.
