Kyranthos
A timerift took Dorian and Rowenna from a feast at Stella Aeterna to ancient Varnhallow, where they lived with Zayren. They befriended Vianna, despite her hatred of Cassian, and Dorian learned rudimentary fire magic from her. He also found Aurelia, who stayed with their group.
When Varnhallow collapsed, Zayren carried them to Thalion's skyship. Thalion later sent them to Morozkaya with patriarchs to protect them. They chose to remain there rather than follow their companions, recognizing that they aged normally and might never return to Cassian.
The villagers chose Dorian and Rowenna as their elders. Dorian named the settlement Kyranthos, and he and Rowenna began redirecting its river. Pyrathalor joined them and offered to help. As Morozkaya's first diarchs, the couple oversaw the village's growth.
Relationships
