The Searing Exarch is one of the Eldritch Horrors. It serves as one of the Pinnacle bosses of the Atlas of Worlds during the Siege of the Atlas.
Any item with a Searing Exarch implicit modifier has a red symbol on its header.
Some items that are not Elder/Shaper/Conqueror Influenced can obtain a Searing Exarch implicit modifier by using one of the several Eldritch Ember currencies. You can use the currencies on Fractured item without any restriction. You can also use the currencies on Synthesised item but they will delete the Synthesised implicit, replacing it with the Searing Exarch implicit.
