Amnestria Moonflower

Amnestria Moonflower (later known as Z'beryl) was the daughter of Amlaruil Moonflower and Zaor Moonflower and therefore a princess of Evermeet. She was also mother to Arilyn Moonblade.

Description
Amnestria was considered extremely beautiful, with the rare and prized hair color of deep blue. Her eyes were blue flecked with gold. Arilyn apparently bore a resemblance to her, as Elaith Craulnobur mistook Arilyn for Amnestria at first glance.

Personality
Amnestria was described as possessing a "rare spirit and inner fire." She was very intelligent and perceptive. She was often lighthearted. Elaith viewed as having a "humanlike" nature.

History
Amnestria inherited her moonblade from her great-aunt, Thasitalia, who had been away from Evermeet. After her death, the moonblade was passed on to Arilyn.

Amnestria grew up on Evermeet with Elaith Craulnobur. They were distantly related. They were later betrothed until Elaith's family moonblade rejected him; the betrothal was nullified and Elaith went into self-imposed exile.

Amnestria met and fell in love with the human ranger Bran Skorlsun. They had a child together, Arilyn Moonblade. However, their relationship and the child were seen as a secret disgrace. In an attempt to bridge both worlds, Amnestria used her moonblade to create an elfgate portal that linked Evermeet and Faerûn. However, when the elves of Evermeet learned of this, they caused the sword to be dismantled so that the portal could not be used.

Circa 1321 DR, Amnestria went into exile in Evereska, where she took the name Z'beryl and raised Arilyn alone without ever telling her about her heritage. Z'beryl, a capable warrior-mage, took a teaching position at the College of Magic and Arms in Evereska. However, she was killed by common thugs (likely sent by Kymil Nimesin, who had also sent an assassin after her in 1321 DR ) when Arilyn was less than 15 years old.
