Personally I think every one is not looking at this from the right perspective the following is his scroll whether concisely or sub concisely HE SAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN!

Fire can be used to help or hinder.
We all need warmth to survive (except the shades, maybe). Too much heat will destroy anything (except the shades, maybe).
A coal removed from the seat of a fire grows cold and will go out. The same coal returned to the fire will blaze brightly, again. So, too, are people. Watch out for the ones who are alone, their light may be going out. Bring them back to the hearth or join them and blaze brighter together.
Rumors, true or not, can run across the land faster than a wind-blown grass fire. Rumors can attract us, fascinate us, light a fire under us and make us move. Be careful how and why you move, the rumor that inspired you may be empty and leave you burned. On the other hand, you may get lucky and find truth in the unlikeliest of places.
Do I bring comfort or chaos? Do I speak truth or do I fan flames of controversy?
Come sit by my fire. Get comfortable. I offer my guidance and support. Careful, though, don't get burned.
I am the Firestarter.

this part specifically seems to be the main clue we must either take him "back to the hearth" which I don t know him well enough to know where that would be referring to or we must "join them and blaze brighter together"....
"Must be feeling as ill as myself...".....and here he states he is feeling ill not just cold so maybe it is something else???
