Turnfire, also known as Malipo, is a type of fire that appeared during the era of the Grand Alliance. It was used as a weapon to oppress and kill people, and to destroy cities.

People inflicted by Turnfire would feel a horrible burning pain from behind them. If they turned back, they would get burned alive to a crisp.[1]

Story[]

Turnfire first appeared in the era of the Grand Alliance. It was used by the tyrant Och-Kan to rule over Natlan and oppress anyone who opposed him.[1]

Yupanqui, who used to be friends with Och-Kan, turned his back on him because of his tyranny. Yupanqui stole the Turnfire and threw it at the Och-Kan's army. The soldiers could not defend against it, and they would all be turned to ash along with the city. Although Och-Kan was not here. Thinking he heard Och-kan's voice, Yupanqui took a glance back, causing him to be consumed by Turnfire, his body would burn for a hundred days and eventually pierced a hole right through the Ley Lines, falling in the Night Kingdom.

According to legend, Turnfire is still burning in the Night Kingdom to this day. The Scions of the Canopy celebrate the Turnfire Night to commemorate their ancestors. "Malipo" has since become an Ancient Name, with two of its bearers being Burkina and Kinich.

In the present day, the Abyss Lector Enjou is attempting to learn about Turnfire.[2]

Trivia[]
