Overview
Dorian Ironvale is an Adventurers' Guild adventurer, Rowenna's longtime partner, and Cassian's adoptive father. He and Rowenna raise Cassian in Teryndal, encourage him toward school and a life of service, and return to quests after Cassian leaves their care. After timerift events carry them into Valrindor's past, they settle in the Morozkayan village that becomes Kyranthos and become Morozkaya's first diarchs.
Adventuring and Cassian
Dorian and Rowenna pick up the guild quest arranged by Thalena and Orin. During the westward voyage from Aemrith, Aldar receives infant Cassian and entrusts him to them. Dorian remains a warm and adventurous parent, teaches Cassian that his gifts are a responsibility, and Aldar encourages him and Rowenna to send Cassian out from the Ironvale household so he will draw Xarion's attention.
Varnhallow and Kyranthos
Timerifts take Dorian and Rowenna into Varnhallow and Thalion's Order campaign to remove Malverand's surviving guardians, where Zero protects them and Viviana teaches Dorian rudimentary fire magic. Dorian and Rowenna leave Thalion's Order campaign to remove Malverand's surviving guardians and stay in a small Morozkayan village.
Dorian names the village Kyranthos, plans to reroute the river, considers building on the hillside where the Ember Spire later stands, and brings Pyrathalor into the settlement's river and heating work after Viviana leaves the god there.
Kyranthos and Final Message
Dorian and Rowenna age normally in Kyranthos, serve as its inaugural diarchs, and die there. Their funeral uses Pyrathalor's fire and ice, following the tradition they wanted so their remains would nourish the land. Cassian later receives their final message that they loved him.
