Fire-Carrier are will-o'-the-wisp type wyld-spirits.
Summary[]
Often called will-o'-the-wisps by Europeans, these moving balls of flickering, sometimes fiery, lights are most often seen near marshes or swamps, although sometimes they appear in areas fat from these natural features. Some folks believe that the Brown Mountain Lights are actually will-o'-the-wisps. The Cherokee recognized and feared these unexplainable phenomena as creatures from the spirit world. Because they could not communicate with these eerie balls of light, they wisely chose to avoid them whenever possible.
Fire-Carriers are actually Wyld-spirits who manifest from time to time in the material world. Though they are not inherently malevolent, they take a wicked delight in luring mortals to dangerous spots - steep mountain precipices, bottomless marshes, and swift-flowing rock-filled rapids. They do not realize that they are leading these fleshy beings to their deaths, but they do feed on the life-energy given off by the demise of their mortal victims. Most often, unwary travelers through the mountains mistake these mysterious lights as distress flares or campfires.
