Overview
The Firelights are a rebel sumpsnipe gang based in Zaun and led by Ekko. They also serve as the last remaining resistance against Silco's tyrannical regime.
Due to their small numbers, the Firelights practice guerilla warfare and employ hit-and-run tactics in battle. They also wear white Ionia Crest icon.png Ionian masks to conceal their identities and fly around on green hoverboards. The Firelights also wield a multitude of different weapons in combat, including basic ones such as spears, clubs, and axes, and more advanced ones such as smoke grenades and crystal bombs.
Although the gang was originally formed to fight against Silco's goons, the Firelights harbor a great deal of hatred towards Piltovans, enforcers in particular. This animosity mainly stems from the fact that many of the enforcers that hunt the Firelights.
Locations
The Firelight hideout is built inside a massive, abandoned sewer located somewhere in Zaun that has a large hole on top, which allows heaps of natural sunlight to pass through and illuminate the area. Its most prominent feature is the enormous tree situated at the center of the hideout, which was able to thrive and grow to its current size due to its daily exposure to sunlight. A number of small houses are also built on the tree, including Ekko's home, and around it. The walls surrounding the hideout are also decorated with graffiti and numerous murals.
- Entrance. The entrance to the hideout is only accessible through the maze-like sewer system of Zaun. Many Firelight bugs live near the entrance and inside the hideout itself, which inspired the gang's name.
- The Lost Children of Zaun Mural. The Firelight memorial is located at the base of the tree. The mural commemorates all Zaunite brothers and sisters who have been lost to the nightmares that plague the Undercity. The mural serves as a reminder that the hopes of a better future is worth fighting for.
Leadership
The Firelights function as a gang, with Ekko as their boss and Scar as his deputy. Despite this, however, each individual gang member is respected equally and contributes in their own way to build and protect their small community.
