Six Firelords that appear during this bombing daily quest Fire in the Skies.
When you bomb all 6, you will get the achievement Death From Above.To bomb these guys, you'll be on a fire hawk (provided seige type vehicle next to the quest giver) with 3 options: Flame Seed, Flame Burst, and Return to the Furnace.
They regen HP quickly, so to defeat them you'll need a group effort (though they may just get to 1 hp and not die =-/ )
You do not need to kill them, some people just get trigger happy, and it does count if you bomb them when they're "tagged" or gray/grey nameplate.The Six Firelords:
- Ragepyre
- Ragepyre is off to the right as you leave the cinderweb area. He's atop a small barren hill. (In Firelands there's surgers here.)
- Flashfire
- "Flashfire is semi-hidden in the hills on the right as you leave Beth'Tilac's area via the ramp." (Thanks Toroq!)
- Heatflayer
- Heatflayer is in the cinderweb area (Beth'tilac's lair) on the western most part. He's slightly smaller than the other Firelords. (Thanks battierpeeler!)
- Blazefury
- Blazefury is located on the left hand side after you bomb the open area with corehounds, and are headed back up to the cinderweb (Beth'tilac's Lair) area. You may have tried to knock the flamewakers off the ledge here with Flame Burst, just look to the left.
- Hatespark
- As you're leaving the cinderweb area (or if you just arrived) and are flying down the ramp, look to the left atop a pillar.
- Singeslayer
- "Singeslayer is off to the left as you leave Beth'tilac's area." (Thanks kaytie!)
It appears that these can change daily, although from looking at builds it may be weekly.
The daily by daily terms can queue twice, though unlikely as these appear to be cycling as intended,meaning you may get a different Firelord every 3-4 days (or depending on how often you do your dailies).
Update: It appears the daily is one of four possible dailies. One day you'll steal an egg doing Peaked Interest, the next day you may bomb away. As far as which Firelord will be there, there may be a cycle for them,but it appears that every other day it will change.
- "Elementals change at 1:00am pacific 4:00am eastern." (Thanks battierpeeler!)
The prerequisites to this daily is to obtain 150 Mark of the World Tree, and turn in the quest Druids of the Talon at the Shrine of Aviana.
Upon turning in the quest, you will get some short LolRP, then the NPCs will head off to the Molten Front. As you're leaving there is a quest available from the innkeeper Isara Riverstride called Flight of the Storm Crows which just tells you (if you ignore LolRP) to go to the Molten Front and do dailies.
From here you'll finish your dailies, get your marks, and then a new daily will appear to escort a druid through the flames to the north west. As you escort her, fire nagas will spawn to attack and disrupt her concentration to make you burn. About 5 of these spawn, just kill them off. They have roughly 60-70k hp. When you reach the end, a molten elemental will be standing there and the attack is called. DPS the elemental, and stay out of fire that is put under your feet that explodes shortly afterwards. When the elemental is defeated you'll be sucked in as it explodes and dropped down a shaft. Down here is your first set of new dailies. Finish up down here, and don't forget (if it's your first time) to get the escort quest in the far back of the cave (watch your minimap). When you head back up, simply go to your left around the side of the mountain, and here's where the Druids of the Talon daily hub is located.
Meh, if more time available will edit this for clarification as far as the prerequisites section goes.

If some of you are trying to figure out which daily quests affect what phase so you can see whether Fire in the Skies is up or not quickly then here are the NPC's you need to do the dailies for...
Rayne Feathersong , General Taldris Moonfall , & Captain Irontree . Once you do their dailies you'll be able to select the next daily phase option: Into the Fire. Once you reach Thisalee Crow do her quest. Flamewakers of the Molten Flow is optional, you don't need to do it if you're just wondering if this daily is even available today. The last step is just to check Morthis Whisperwing, if you see a firehawk mount next to him then you'll have to go back and finish Flamewakers of the Molten Flow , if not, then you saved yourself a bit of time. ^_^
Hope this information helps save others time like it did me :] !
I am going to go ahead and clarify an issue that a lot seem to not understand.
This daily is available for the druid talon side dailies (Into the Fire) daily option. Assuming you turned in the marks and did all the requirements for these dailies.
I have kept this daily on my toon for some time now, and trying to get this achievement "Death From Above". I have been working on this achievement for a month now doing my dailies every day, and still missing "Flashfire" NPC.
While holding onto this daily I have had to drop it twice. This was because the bird was not available to mount and go check for the missing NPCs I needed for the achievement. Both times I dropped the daily to pick up one the daily I received was "Peaked Interest". It appears that you cannot do the daily Fire In The Skies when this daily is available for you to do (even though you have this quest in the log in conflicts with the "true" daily Peaked Interest for the daily you have at hand). Also after you do Peaked Interest the next day you WILL receive Fire In The Skies. IF YOU do NOT drop Fire In The Skies and the dailies reset and it is NOT Peaked Interest again, the mounted fire bird will be available for you to mount. As I have tried this as well. However one should ask themselves why not drop it and get the "Peaked Interest" daily for the 2 marks knowing the Fire In The Skies WILL be available to them when the dailies reset? Unless you do not like to do that particular daily.
The NPCs for the achievement Death From Above are not in a set rotation.
The NPCs no longer change as some have mentioned several times throughout the day either. I have checked several days in a row for this and never seen more than the same NPC I found at daily resets.
I have seen the same NPC 3-4 days in a row before.
In my opinion Blazefury is the MOST common NPC found.
Some may disagree with me however I have been farming this achievement for over 2 months now. The only other annoying achievement to date in my opinion is "Rock Lover".
Good Luck and Happy Hunting!

Description
Look at that! It's incredible! Born less than two days ago and already full grown. Sadly, I suspect their life cycle is similarly short, so we'll have to take advantage of any time we have. His training went remarkably well. I want you to be the one to take him out and unleash him on the bulk of the enemy forces gathered near Ragnaros' keep. Show no mercy, {race}.
