Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Fire Bringer is a xenofiction novel written very much in the vein of Watership Down, but David Clement Davies's tale features red deer in Scotland during the Dark Ages.The story begins with the birth of the fawn Rannoch on the night his father is murdered by the forces of Drail and Sgorr, a tyrannical pair of deer who have forbidden the yearly play of antlers that ensure a change of leadership. A prophecy surrounds Rannoch's birth: he will become the savior of the deer. If he survives the insane dystopian army in pursuit of him...Dark, beautiful, and rich in Anyone Can Die, the story's more fantastic elements, namely the epic clash between good and evil, are firmly rooted in the nature of deer.The spiritual sequels, The Sight and Fell, feature wolves, but are set in the same world as Rannoch's story (albeit in Transylvania).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be mistaken for the other xenofiction series about bringing fire. | |

Androcles' Lion | |
| Fire Bringer / int_1f518822 | comment |
Androcles' Lion: Basically applies in reverse; after Rannoch spends some time as a human's 'pet' before he is released, years later the human 'fawn' who helped him kills Sgorr but spares Rannoch after recognising him. | |

Actual Pacifist: Rannoch is this for a while, refusing to fight Sgorr. It doesn't last. | |

Animal Talk | |
| Fire Bringer / int_7ec8506d | comment |
Animal Talk: At first, this trope appears to be averted, and the deer can only understand other deer. Rannoch is able to converse with any animal, but at first it seems to just be because he's special. Then it turns out that any animal can learn to do this; the art was just lost. That said, humans are still Locked Out of the Loop. | |

Amplified Animal Aptitude | |
| Fire Bringer / int_baa2bf80 | comment |
Amplified Animal Aptitude: Pretty much subverted; the deer are deer. Sgorr's knowledge of sharpening antlers and the like is the one real exception; Rannoch's own advanced aptitude might be justified by his Physical God excuse; see below. That said, all the deer do appear to form human-like societies, and to understand the concept of death. | |
