History
During the Time of Troubles, the fire god Kossuth appeared in the Burning Rift as the firenewt blackguard avatar Chassan. In this form, Kossuth led the firenewt Ak'ta tribe in war against the pterafolk of the Chultanegar. After departing the Prime Material Plane, Kossuth rewarded Chassan by allowing him to become a deathflame and return to leadership of the Ak'ta tribe.

Inhabitants
Firenewts and salamanders dwelt in the Burning Rift, having migrated there from the Elemental Plane of Fire. Azer, hell hounds, flamesnakes, and magmins also used the Burning Rift as a point of entry into the Firelands and the Peaks of Flame. Cinder swarms were also common here.
