Lyraene

Lyraene was a Yhauntan half-elf bravo in 1373 DR who enjoyed clashing with Keph Thingoleir verbally and physically.

Description
Lyraene was a young and restless bastard from a well-to-do family. She had golden blonde hair and dressed fashionably as she sought out excitement by carousing with her friends in the Stiltways and provoking fights with other young duellists. She especially delighted in performatively insulting and taunting her enemies.

Relationships
She was produced from a liaison her human mother had with an elf while already married, and had a half-brother who worked as a city guard. She habitually caroused with a small gang of friends, both for company and protection, and Keph Thingoleir was a favorite rival of hers.

Abilities
Lyraene was a skilled and daring rapier duellist, and had inherited some magical ability from her father, allowing her to cast minor arcane spells.

History
In early Eleasis of the Year of Rogue Dragons she provoked Keph into a fight at the Sky's Mantle tavern, easily disarming and humiliating him before he escaped.

Keph took his revenge a few nights later by luring her into a more favorable duel, this time besting her completely. Driven by bitterness and spite, Keph then began torturing her with his lightning-charged rapier Quick, maiming her right arm with the intent to prevent her from ever casting spells again. Before he could inflict more harm upon her, he was driven away by the Selûnite priest Mifano, who attended to healing Lyraene's arm.

Shortly after the fight, she was approached by the Sharran priestess Variance Amatick, who modified her memory of the events. Lyraene's perception of the duel was altered to remove Keph's malice and deliberate sadism, instead giving the impression of an honest duel that turned unexpectedly bloody. Thanks to Variance's influence, Lyraene chose to keep the injury a personal matter, rather than having Keph arrested for his assault.
