Arinella

Arinella Morvayne is a divine and resonance mage from Aurivallis. She served Meliora as the Echo of Harmony and is Cassian's lover.

Appearance and magic

Arinella has golden hair and a radiant aura resembling sunlight. She forms golden divine shields and releases destructive resonance waves with her voice. Cassian taught her to shield her mind against the magic controlling the Tenari.

History

As one of Meliora's closest advisers, Arinella kept records of Aurivallis's citizens at the Temple of Resonance. Her thoughts and actions were controlled by Xoh’Metztli's resonance magic.

Under that control, she attacked Cassian outside Aurivallis with four other mages. He defeated her, healed the wound he had caused and broke the spell controlling her mind. Arinella could think freely for the first time. She took Cassian into her home and helped him reach Meliora. The control later returned, forcing him to remove the spell again.

Cassian killed Meliora and Xoh’Metztli, freeing the Tenari. Arinella followed Cassian out of Aurivallis. She joined him and Kaelion on their southward journey aboard Splin.

Thalassai

Arinella helped Nethira with healing in Chronasis. She wanted to contribute to Thalassai rather than spend all her time with Cassian, and agreed to travel with Zephyra to Aetherion and Aurivallis to recruit mages. Aurivallis agreed to send divine and resonance mages to Thalassai. During her visit, she reunited with Mahina and found her friends living freely without the magic that had controlled them.

When Pyrathalor impaled Cassian through the chest during his attack on Chronasis, Thalena and Astryx brought him to Arinella in Aetherion. Arinella cleared the surrounding crowd before draining essence from cores, the land and Thalena. At her command, Thalena released the stasis spell holding Cassian alive and Astryx removed the glaive. Arinella rebuilt Cassian's damaged body and restarted his heart with a controlled vibration of resonance magic. She then healed Thalena, sensing her love for Cassian through the contact between their essence.
