Character Network Timeline

Lirien is an explorer and scholar of the Xalmyrran Council who raised and mentored Eira. She disappeared inside the Temple of no Return during a council expedition with Kaelion.

Appearance

Lirien has auburn hair and brown eyes. She wears green robes and often braids her hair.

Personality

Lirien comforts Eira during her visions and exhaustion, but also teases her about Kaelion. She prefers exploration to council politics and shares Eira's interest in ancient texts and artifacts.

Magic

Lirien is a fire mage. She casts fireballs from her hands, using them to burn through dense undergrowth and fight corrupted beasts.

History

Aldar selected Lirien to mentor Eira in personalized studies. Lirien guided her research and accompanied her on missions to retrieve ancient texts, including records of Arcanis.

In Xalmyrra's previous cycle, Lirien and Eira supplied Deylin with essence cores during a storm at sea. At Lythenmere Lake, Lirien refused to leave the unconscious Eira. Ilyra healed and carried Eira, enchanting her own feet and Lirien's so Lirien could follow.

Lirien carried a darkness repeller through the Land of Darkness, powering its protective dome with essence cores while Kaelion concealed the group with illusions. At the temple, Lirien tested the door visible to all three and found an empty void beyond it. She comforted Eira before Eira entered the second passage only she could see.

In Xalmyrra's current cycle, Aldar sent Lirien and Kaelion to the temple without Eira. Lirien entered alone, determined to succeed for Xalmyrra and the council. Kaelion waited outside for days before returning without her. When Eira returned to Irrathis from the previous cycle, her memories of the expedition differed from Aldar's. Kaelion recovered overlapping memories of both journeys. Lirien remained missing.

Kaelion recovered overlapping memories of both journeys. Lirien remained missing until the council's rescue expedition reached the temple.

Rescue and recovery

Khoradyn opened the temple's door and Brynor caught Lirien as she fell out. She was thin and weak, having experienced suspension in a dark void without a sense of time. Orin and Mirael healed her, Kaelric enchanted her, and Astheron protected and carried her toward Dravemir.

Aurion brought her to Irrathis by airship. Ilyra initially could not heal her fractured mind. Lirien allowed Aurion to search Eira's room for clues to Eira's whereabouts. Following Aurion's proposal, Ilyra stabilized Lirien's essence with his orreries.
