Overview
Dalren is an older fire mage and official in ancient Brighthaven. Isandriel appoints him high technomancer of the Brighthaven Triarch, and Dalren remains close enough to him to speak as an old friend. He and Cormac later serve as governors under Isandriel's command and both die of old age.
Service Under Isandriel
Thirty years after Isandriel chooses him for the triarch, Dalren brings Raphael's message to Isandriel and worries over Isandriel's isolation. When Isandriel and Thamrielle return to Radiance Prime, Dalren waits near the skyship dock, promises to stay by Isandriel's side until death, and accepts responsibility for Brighthaven while Isandriel leaves again.
Burning frost crystal
Isandriel tests Dalren with the burning frost crystal at Radiance Prime. Dalren channels essence through the artifact with an essence core from his pouch, and his body burns with orange flames hot enough to draw the attention of nearby officials and administrators. The crystal shivers in his grip and goes inert. Dalren's test fails.
