{{SpaceMarinesPortalImperialFistsPortal}}The '''Fire Lords''' are a [[Codex Chapter]] of [[Space Marines]]{{Fn|1a}}.

Due to a clerical error in the [[Imperium]]'s labyrinthine bureaucracy, the once-prosperous world of [[Grissen]] had gone unnoticed until a mid-level functionary discovered that the planetary tithes were now some eight thousand years overdue. An [[Imperial Guard]] [[regiment]] was immediately raised to bring the Emperor's law back to Grissen. When the regiment found itself overwhelmed by the sheer ferocity of the fighters planetside, a task force from the Fire Lords Chapter, under the command of [[Jaric Phoros]], joined the fray.{{Fn|1c}}

At first the Space Marines made little progress. The natives were so entrenched that even the most devastating orbital bombardments made scant impact on their positions. Nonetheless, the Imperial decree was that Grissen should be brought back into the fold, for it would prove an excellent recruiting ground for the Imperial Guard, and so Phoros held back from ordering [[Exterminatus]]. Biting back his mounting frustration, Phoros directed his [[Techmarines]] to construct a weapon that would win the war. Within a week of the first [[Land Raider]] modifications the Fire Lords took Grissen's capital city. Within a month, the largest planetary faction was suing for peace and Grissen was part of the Imperium once more.{{Fn|1c}}
