You are talking, I suppose, about the "Fire-bringer" totem (actually an
'icon', like from Germany sourcebook) on page 109? The Firebringer is
based on the story from Greek mythology of Prometheus, a Titan who
brought fire from Mount Olympus to the man, out of pity for the plight of
man. For his troubles, Prometheus was chained to the face of a cliff,
where buzzards would come and eat his liver during the day, only for it
to grow back each night. That's most of the background surrounding the
totem, there's also a detailed description of the totem on page 109 (as
previously stated). There is no actual 'Fire' totem that I know of.
