The Ember of Hoole

Description
The Ember of Hoole is an important plot device in the Guardians main-line books, first appearing in book 8, The Hatchling. The Ember of Hoole is a small coal, resembling a bonk coal, with a lick of blue surrounded by green, which, as a color, represents intelligence. While it continuously burns, it does not feel hot in the talons of those chosen to be its keeper. When the coal is not currently in use by a keeper, it is sealed away in one of five volcanoes, hidden away by the Dire Wolves of the Beyond. Whoever becomes the keeper of the coal, becomes the heir of Hoole, and holds the right to the monarchy of the great tree.

Known keepers of the coal include Hoole, and Coryn. At the time of the Server, the coal has no keeper, implying that the Dire Wolves watch is currently active, although they so far have had no impact on the story of the server.

The Future Keeper of The Ember
In Book 11 "To Be a King" King Hoole sees the figure of a barn owl in the Ember, meant to represent Coryn. This Implies that the keeper of the Ember is able to see the future of the ember inside of it. However, because Coryn was murdered before any confirmation is given of the species of owl, presumably, any owl with the power of Fire Sight is potentially eligible to become a keeper of the Ember. Whether or not this will be a part of a future plot on the server is unknown.

Trivia
- Emry mentions the Ember of Hoole, and speculates on its future keeper. Emry has tested himself if he has fire-sight, but found that he has no powers.

- Presumably, Skylark has met the Dire Wolves in her travels to the beyond, given he in depth understanding of Wolf Culture. She likely is the only owl in the RP to know the approximate location of the Ember.

- Should the Ember be collected, the current monarchs would likely perish through magical means, as this happened to Borron and Barran in Book 8, "The Outcast". As Borron and Barran had to children, this begs the question, "If the ember was to be collected, would Osiris, the current prince of the tree, suffer the same fate as his parents?"
