"It's not enough to give people what they need to survive, you have to give them what they need to live." The Firelights are a group of Zaunites who were dedicated to disrupting Silco's Shimmer business, and thus his control over their home. When an opportunity is found, the group would interfere with Silco's business transactions, destroying their shipments of Shimmer as much as they could. Firelight members wear masks and use a device to distort their voices to hide their identities. They travel around on hoverboards, of Ekko's own design,[1] and use makeshift weapons and other devices against Silco's goons. Banding together over their need to survive in the undercity without true support from Piltover, whose authorities were in Silco's pocket, the group also took in other children so as not to have them wandering around the Shimmer-infested streets. The Firelights build a home in an area of Zaun where a seedling survived—a rare feat in the toxic air of Zaun. With Ekko's skills and inventions, the tree managed to thrive and grow. They built houses around the area and made a small, relatively happy community.
