The Fire Kingdom

The Fire Kingdom is one of six castle-cities that exist within the space known as The Gap, a mass of land south of the Midpoint Mountains yet north of the ocean. The Fire Kingdom, along with it's neighbours, serves as a guardian of The Gap, making sure no outside forces may pass through.

The Fire Kingdom was, along with it's neighbouring kingdoms, created at the end of the Third Age to serve as a barrier between the West and the East. The inhabitants of the Fire Kingdom, called simply the Fire People, are born in peak-human condition and with the inherant ability to manipulate their given element- fire. The Fire Kingdom is constantly shifting between war and peace time with it's surrounding Kingdoms, therefore the Fire People are trained from birth to be warriors. This is all part of the reason they were created- all of the inhabitants of the Six Kingdoms are constantly training in preparation for the Second God Wars, if such a thing were to occur.

The Fire Kingdom is ruled by a monarchy, which by the time of The Six Kingdoms book is lead by King Sjors. Each monarch is raised by a lineage of Royal Bodyguards, and under their service they have a court of Lords and Ladies. The Monarchy rules from the Burning Palace, which is constantly lit up and can be seen for miles around on a night time.

Towards the end of the Fourth Age, due to the appearance of the Manic, the Fire Kingdom began the training of their Fire Champion- Prometheus.
