It's good to have others around who can clear things up for you. [He had never asked for the details, though. Oops. He shakes his head.]
It's really just a title, given to the one who bears the True Fire Rune. Like I said, the original Flame Champion was a hero. He sought to liberate the Grasslands from Holy Harmonia despite the fact that their army was incredible and could easily overwhelm the region. Though a victor was never technically declared in the battle, Harmonia agreed to sign a peace treaty with the Flame Champion, and they didn't bother the Grasslands for the next fifty years. He disappeared after that, but was still a symbol of worship throughout the Grasslands. That's why, when Harmonia started up trouble with them again, the person the Grasslanders looked to was the Flame Champion. The original Flame Champion died years ago, however. That's why Hugo, as the son of the Karaya Clan's chief, was chosen to become the Flame Champion's successor.
