So, following the ending of Heart of Fire, do we have a consensus of which Flameheart we are dealing with? I'm under the impression that it's still Jr., and my reasoning is as follows -
Reasons why it's Flameheart Snr. -
First Flameheart
Crew member of the Burning Blade
Feared on the Sea of Thieves
Captained(?) the Burning Blade
Reasons why it's not Flameheart Snr. -
Retired and left the Sea of Thieves
Adopted an Orphan
Educated him and spoiled him
Never mentioned to be a Skeleton Lord
Betrayed a Skeleton Lord and marooned him
Actually died (most likely outside the Sea of Thieves).
Reasons why it's Flameheart Jr. -
Turns into a Skeleton Lord
Allied with the Cap'n
Quested for fame and immortality
Multiple flame motifs in Tales book
Betrayed by other Skeleton Lords
Betrayed not betrayer
Happened in the close past
Referred to as a Skeleton Lord in the Tall Tale description
All art matches his likeness
Young when turned into a Skeleton Lord
Reasons it's not Flameheart Jr. -
He was a terrible piraten in Tales
He would have to recover or inherit the Burning Blade
