"The black flame was discovered during the Age of Prosperity by the corrupted wizards of The Brotherhood, through the ritual summoning of beings considered ancestors of the darkest entities. However, the black flame itself is a body part of an ancient entity born from the mistake of the Ancient God Eldur in the Age of Creation.” - Complete Book of Cursed Races, volume II - missionary Henrick of Sungon.

As a powerful entity comparable to the representative of the Ignis element, the Darkflame Ancestor is considered the progenitor of the dark flame that opposes the pure flame of the Everlasting Phoenix. Wherever they appear, the flame of darkness never goes out and is extinguished only once its target is burned to ashes.
