When this group began to resist the [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia|Harmonian]] invasion of the Grassland, other groups and rebels began to gather under its banner. The [[Duck Clan]] is noted in history for being the first of the Grassland clans to join the Fire Bringer and other clans would soon follow suit increasing the groups size with each new clan added. This would eventually make the Fire Bringer the grand allied force that united the Grassland against their common foe. | ||
Following the final battle against the Harmonian army, in which the Flame Champion's [[True Fire Rune]] went out of control, decimating both armies and forcing a truce between the two powers, the Flame Champion disappeared and the Fire Bringer was dissolved. | Following the final battle against the Harmonian army, in which the Flame Champion's [[True Fire Rune]] went out of control, decimating both armies and forcing a truce between the two powers, the Flame Champion disappeared and the Fire Bringer was dissolved. | ||

With True Fire Rune in hand, the new Flame Champion was able to unite the disparate forces of the region against Harmonian invasion once, reforming the group. After stopping the invasion and, more importantly, thwarting the [[Destroyers]] plans that would have decimated the region, the new Fire Bringer would disperse. | With True Fire Rune in hand, the new Flame Champion was able to unite the disparate forces of the region against Harmonian invasion once, reforming the group and instilling new confidence and belief after the individual components of the new force had been defeated time and again by the Harmonian Army.
