History
Falling Fire was founded by Sir Auwyne and Sir Icefyre in the distant past (the 90s).
The land is so named for the lightning storms that frequent the area, Hillsborough county has one the highest rates of people being struck by lightning in the world.
Falling Fire was originally part of the Kingdom of the Valley of the Silver Rains in Oregon, which was the original home of Icefyre. At Clan in 1997, members of Falling Fire assassinated their host and king and jumped to the Kingdom of the Mystic Seas, also in Oregon. In time, they built a friendship with Kudzu and Evil Ryss, who were at the time in Emerald Coast, and through them the Kingdom of the Wetlands. As one of the prominent groups in Florida, Falling Fire put aside a rivalry with the other (Silverwater) and all the groups in Florida joined under one banner to create the Kingdom of Neverwinter. Falling Fire has played a primary role in the Kingdom, with members holding all the principal Offices in the kingdom numerous times.

Fighter Practices
Tuesdays 6:00pm - 10:00pm Sadie Park
Kingsway Rd and Sadie Rd.
Follow the directions above to Highway 60, and Bryan Rd. At Bryan Rd, turn Left (instead of right. This road becomes Kingsway Rd), and follow it to the next light, which is Sadie Rd, which is left (west) turn only. If you go over the Rail Road tracks, you've gone too far. Take the left turn at Sadie Rd., and Sadie Park will be on your right side. If you don't see us fighting in between the first baseball field and the playground, go to the end of the park and make a right into the parking lot. The end of the park is noted as where park-like surroundings cease to be and house like dwellings appear. If you cannot find us there, feel free to walk around in attempt to locate us, as the park is usually well lit, and full of people.
- Please note, we're trying to get consistent fighter practices up and running again. Its best to contact someone from the park before coming out to fighter practice. **
