Flame Domain

Biodata

History

In the original game timeline, the Flame Domain was the first major target of Abyssal Fall. Alice's broad influence over the domain's population made her corruption especially dangerous: once she fell, countless inhabitants became monsters and the entire nation was destroyed 5.

In the altered timeline, Huodian City endured an Abyss crisis during which Alice manifested through Archbishop Maggie and used Blazing Meteor Shower against the invading creatures, causing severe collateral damage. Cinder Phoenix later revitalized the devastated land at the cost of her own life force 131 133.

After the Huodian City crisis, Vivian, Liao Zixuan, and Cinder Phoenix departed through Chiyu Port for Thousand Islands 229 232. The Flame Domain subsequently remained a major source of personnel, supplies, and support during Thousand Islands' Abyss Descent 363 365.

Society and Development

The Flame Domain was long viewed as one of the weakest of the Nine Nations. Alice's restrictive, protective governance limited the emergence of high-tier combatants, leaving the nation with few Transcendent individuals 214 220.

Despite this reputation, it became the most popular starting nation during the public beta. Its players benefited from abundant quests, well-stocked supply shops, high-quality maps, and major NPC factions actively recruiting Outsiders 269 301 307 364.
