First Flame
First Flame holds that the first act of creation was fire: not to dominate darkness, but to give form and warmth to what had none. Dragon inheritance is linked to this Office, and from that link comes the faith’s oldest argument.
The measure of fire
When a new hearth is lit, three fires are named: fire that warms, fire that guides, and fire that burns. The first is protected, the second shared, and the third entrusted only to those who can carry responsibility for it. Smiths, bakers, glass-workers, and war students can use the same symbol, because all know that fire makes things and makes some things irreversible.
In Saar and Odraka, debate over dragon inheritance brings the faith into politics. Flameborn claim dragon-blooded dynasties stand closer to First Flame and therefore hold a natural right to rule. Ember Egalitarians answer that fire arises from action rather than blood: those who tend a hearth and those who put out a blaze both share in the Office.
The fire of service
Its ordinary adherent is often not a warrior. The person who keeps a neighbourhood hearth open, gives warmth to night workers, or rebuilds a burnt house serves the faith as well. Modest care for a failing ember matters as much as a spectacular flame. Some monasteries therefore teach fire control, first aid, and repair before weapons.
The test is direct: does the fire in your hand give another person light, or make them depend on your permission? No serious reading of First Flame excuses power from that question.
