The signature path of the black dragons and later, the human emperors of the Blackflame Empire.

The Path of Black Flame utilizes the aspects of fire and destruction providing the basis for one of the most offensive and aggressive paths seen in Cradle.

This is the second path followed by Wei Shi Lindon alongside the Path of Twin Stars.

Techniques:

Striker:

  • Dragons Breath (Fierce River of Fierce Flowing Breath):

A nearly liquid bar of Blackflame madra that pierces and disintegrates more than burns its targets, due to the destruction aspect.

Enforcer:

"Burning Cloak. That's a real technique name. You want to call it Fierce Burning Clothes on Fire in your own head, that's on your account, but I'll cut you every time you say it out loud." - Yerin Arelius

  • Burning Cloak (Fierce Burning Outer Robe):

A full body enforcement technique that focuses on explosive speed and power. This enables quick bursts of movement and powerful blows. However, this technique more than even other Blackflame techniques degrades the body, every movement burns Blackflame Madra to fuel it, but it also tends to burn the body as well.

Ruler:

  • Void Dragon's Dance (Dance of the Dragon of Emptiness)

The sacred artist gathers surrounding fire and destruction aura and surrounds one or more opponents with it. Once a sufficient amount of aura has been collected around one or more targets, the aura is ignited creating vast cyclones of fire and destruction around each target that burn and destroy quickly.

Forger:

No official Forger technique, due to Blackflame being hard to Forge.

Cycling Techniques:

Although never given a proper name, the basic Blackflame cycling technique is used by Lindon in Ghostwater to recover madra when he has little resources at hand. The only quality we learned of this technique is that it is better than HAEPW at madra recovery.

Iron Body:

Both the name and function of this body are unknown, simply that it is more combat oriented than Lindon's Bloodforged Iron Body.

Weapons/Tools:

  • The Blackflame Emperor's sword - Overlord

The Emperors sword is one of the only Blackflame weapon or tool that we are currently aware of.
