Every time an important decision must be made for the entire collective of groups, each group will vote amongst themselves for their decision. Each has no more say than the rest, and they only act as a relay for popular votes made in their warcamp. A council of 19 different representatives signify the different warcamps unified together. All people who are pyromancers(called Firelords) are treated as equals, and every decision is based upon a vote. The Firelords are a purely democratic society. The Spark will be the first Living Flame, and will signify the coming of an era where the Firelords will light the world aflame. The Spark is a child that has yet to be born that can look at fire without assistance. He united the tribes and began the Firelords, but warned not to leave the Valley until “their eyes can truly open.” Many have interpreted this to believe that a child must be born with the ability to look at fire without the use of protective goggles. Doing so caused him to receive strange visions of a world on fire and also enhance his pyromantic abilities. Laylos was a great pyromancer who blinded himself by removing his goggles and looking at a pool of magma. Through this method, he unified the surviving tribes into the Firelords. He forced all he conquered to serve him or face a Trial by Flames, where he would burn them alive to force them to become a pyromancer or die. That is until Laylos the Blind, one of the few remaining pyromancers, began a crusade to remind the tribes of what they had lost. They warred with one another for power and resources, reverting to more primal warfare and forgetting their pyromantic roots. This led to an era of warlords and tribes to form. But in a final ditch effort to contain them, the Durok Fiefdoms destroyed the only easy passage into the Valley. This coupled with the steady decline of guards caused a gradual shift in power toward the prisoners. The first pyromancers were made from the prisoners who caught fire in the mines and controlled it. However, the blinding of the prisoners and their time working near the heat of the magma attuned them to fire. The guards were equipped with goggles fitted with volcanic resin to dim the light and the prisoners were given blinding helmets in order to protect them as well as keep them submissive. Both the prisoners and guards were equipped with special ocular devices in order to protect their tender eyes from the intense light. The Firelords were originally prisoners of the Durok Fiefdoms sent to the ore abundant Valley in massive numbers to mine the area. Their isolation leaves them little known throughout the world, but those aware of their existence fear them for their horrifying appearance, hostile nature, and ability to control fire. However, as militaristic as they are, the Firelords do not often leave the Valley, as they are awaiting a time where their strength is great enough to bring the world to flames. The Firelords are a militaristic, two tiered society that relies heavily on slave labor to function. The FIrelords are a large group of pyromancers that inhabit the large volcanic valley in the “” Mountains known as the Valley of Ashes.
