Aw man. D: I know how you feel, I'm no good with titles. THE STORY was actually named by a friend of mine. LOL. I had no idea what to title it, I STILL don't.

Kingdom Lost, the title to my story, was voted on by my high school where I first published it in the school paper as multichapter story. Some of the choices were The Guardian Chronicles, Kingdom Lost, The Lost Guardian, and The Lost Kingdom. Kingdom Lost won by a huge landslide. yoy'll come into your title over time as you write.
Here are some ideas.
Rise of the False King Dragon King Rising Brotherhood of Princes

Oooh, yes, the great Title Dilemma.
The word Brotherhood is nice, if it does indeed apply to the plot. Will the fact that they are brothers be integral to the story? If so, it's a good word--otherwise, good word as it is, you may want to go else where.
I don't think I know the story enough yet to guess at what might be a good title, since something coming may be critical..."Aliance of Fire" came to mind. Just the word "Brotherhood" all by itself might be good, too.
I came up with titles by taking the key image, theme or concept of the story and breaking it into a short phrase. For instance, Cast Shadows refers to several different story elements, with "cast" serving as a verb and a noun, and both working as symbolic images. It's also a direct quote from the story. "Prodigal" is in reference to the main character, and his primary attribute, and of course (hopefully!) relates the reader's thinking back to the Parable of the Prodigal Son, even if they don't realize it. xD
So think about what the most important story element is--is it the brotherhood? Is is the stolen kingship? Is it some image that symbolically represents something else important (like fire)?
Good luck!! ^_^ I liked Rainlands, too, myself. xD

I have a mario brothers fanfic called Brotherhood. it is a great title. Kingdom Lost's original title was Rising Star. I decided to change the title because the story pretty much had nothing to do with a rising star unless you count Sunstar rising as a new Guardian. Kingdom Lost works better because Sunstar not only has to deal with becoming a new Guardian, she also has to help get her kingdom back. it doesn't stop there. She must restore the Flutter Kingdom, restore the Dark Realm Kingdoms, and much more.
