" > < / ref > Personality . The first Kyriani was a wholly good being , denying the natural dark side of her being . Kyriani didn ' t like to see her friends get hurt , nor would she leave them to face danger , even if there was a greater need . The second Kyriani was more accepting of her dark side , and felt able to choose her destiny . Description . Around 1357 DR , Kyriani appeared to be a tall and slender half - elf woman , quite beautiful , with pointed ears and pale skin , despite her drow heritage . Other details of her appearance varied with her incarnation . The first incarnation of Kyriani had a large mane of long , curly , light - brown hair , with violet or blue eyes . The second had even longer hair , night black and filled with stars , with a streak of white hair in front . Her eyes were blue . By 1372 DR , Kyriani had darker - hued skin and gray eyes and was considered very attractive . She had long silver - white hair that she generally wore pulled away from her face . By 1479 DR , her eyes were reported as purple in color . History . Cybriana & Kilili . Kyriani ' s origins were most unusual , beginning in a powerful artifact and two separate yet inextricably linked women , Cybriana and Kilili . Cybriana was the daughter of a powerful wizard , Ostus Agrivar , and a drow sorceress . Shortly after her birth , her mother took her to an elf village near Shadowdale and abandoned her to their care . Cybriana was a typical half - elf baby , marred only by a strange dark birthmark that , as she grew older , developed into a horrid growth bearing an evil face , seeming to contain a dark spirit . When Cybriana was a little girl , the growth caused a sickness that threatened to kill her . To save the girl ' s life , the elves performed a shamanic rite to extract the growth and trap the dark spirit within a crystal sphere . Cybriana was cured and freed , but the spirit escaped . The dark spirit flew over the countryside , absorbing life energy and taking the form of a drow elf woman named Kilili . Meanwhile , the monstrous being Imgig Zu , trapped within the enchanted gem known as " Selûne ' s Eye " , observed this and forged a magical link with Kilili , allowing him to escape into the Realms . However , he needed Cybriana and Kilili together to release the rest of his people . Kilili fell in with Imgig , and together they hatched their scheme . Somehow , Cybriana , now grown to adulthood , learned that this " sister " had gone missing or been kidnapped . She learned that they were but fragments of one being and , unless they were reunited , her life and many other lives could be lost . She feared what her dark half might do if left unchecked . Thus , in the Year of the Prince , 1357 DR , Cybriana left Shadowdale and journeyed to Waterdeep in search of one who she believed could help her — the paladin Priam Agrivar , not knowing him to be her half - brother , the son of her unknown father , Ostus Agrivar . Meanwhile , Kilili was assisting Imgig Zu in hunting out her sister . Imgig ' s chasme minions abducted Cybriana , but she was rescued by the centaur Timoth Eyesbright and the dwarf Onyx the Invincible . They escorted her to Waterdeep , where they searched for Priam , finally arriving at the Selûne ' s Smile tavern . The proprietress Luna introduced them to Vajra Valmeyjar , who led them to Priam Agrivar — now a drunken , crippled beggar . Nevertheless , Cybriana had faith in him . In their journeys to cure Priam , she told the companions her story . When she mentioned " Selûne ' s Eye " , Priam realized they shared a father . But , just then , the group heard Imgig ' s chasme pursuing new victims and raced to the rescue . Imgig Zu observed " Selûne ' s Eye " glow like the moon , meaning that Kilili ' s sister was near his tower and had been found . Kilili visited Cybriana lured her close to Imgig ' s tower . Imgig ' s gargoyle s snatched up Cybriana and she was taken into their lair . In the caverns beneath Imgig ' s tower , the proximity of Cybriana and Kilili , both to each other and to " Selûne ' s Eye " , caused the gem to glow even more brightly and to swell in size . Imgig Zu used their combined powers to open the " Eye " and release his long - imprisoned people to overrun and conquer the Realms . Cybriana ' s companions fought their way in , but too late , as Imgig ' s people escaped , and the heroes were subdued . An exultant Imgig taunted Priam and threatened to kill him as he had killed Ostus Agrivar . But the roof of the cavern tore open and the brilliant light of the full moon shone through , blinding the ogres . Cybriana urged her brother Priam to strike , and he slew Imgig Zu in the name of their father . Cybriana escaped and grabbed Kilili , and when they touched , they merged into one being , part good and part evil , and the living key to " Selûne ' s Eye " . The Cybriana - half gained dominance over the Kilili - half , and the merged being vanished inside the gem , drawing all of Imgig ' s people back within , saving the Realms from devastation at the cost of her unique identity . A merged being levitated down , bearing the shrunken " Selûne ' s Eye " , and wearing the shredded remains of Cybriana ' s dress and the earrings of both women . Part Cybriana and part Kilili , she combined their names and named herself " Kyriani " . Kyriani and her companions returned to the Selûne ' s Smile where Luna rewarded them . Luna was , in truth , an avatar of Selûne , the goddess of the moon , who was living in Waterdeep as a humble innkeeper . The first Kyriani . After bounty hunters kidnapped Vajra from the Smile , and Timoth and Conner went after them , more bounty hunters and a mage came . Their spells and a potion in the drinks left all the patrons unconscious , including Kyriani , and they kidnapped the cat child . When Vajra , Timoth , and Conner returned and awoke her , Kyriani told them what had happened . Kyriani stayed behind as Vajra , Conner , and Salabak went after the kidnappers , and celebrated Vajra ' s return . Later , Kyriani was again called on to aid in closing an extraplanar gate , the Great Door built by her father and Parwyyd Hanifar . Hanifar lured her and Onyx to the site with a false message plate from Priam and , after they fought over a misunderstanding of his intent , explained that he needed one of the blood of Agrivar to control and close it . Hanifar observed her unusual make - up and aura , and Kyriani told him of her creation from Cybriana and Kilili , but Hanifar felt the merger was incomplete , that Kyriani could not attain her potential without knowing her true self . Kenku s emerged from the Door , but Kyriani refused to let Onyx face them alone whilst she and Parwyyd commanded the Door . Regardless , the Door protected itself with a bolt of magic that separated Kyriani back into Cybriana and Kilili . Parwyyd divined that this was possible because Kyriani had never fully accepted her evil half , and therefore was not whole . Once Cybriana accepted that she , like her father , had both good and evil inside , she was able to merge with Kilili for the second and final time , and a new Kyriani was born . She combined her powers with Parwyyd ' s to close the Door , and the one who waits behind it was slain . Kyriani thanked Parwyyd for giving her the truth of her nature and the courage to accept it . Kyriani felt that she was not the same Kyriani as before , but in fact the Kyriani she was meant to have been all along , accepting both sides of her nature and able to forge her own destiny . The second Kyriani . After the Smile ' s brief destruction in the Year of Shadows , 1358 DR , Kyriani aided Khelben Arunsun in driving lawyers out of the city . Using Onyx as an unwitting patsy , while he distracted by Drusilla , Kyriani disguised herself as an old woman and got his autograph — on a marriage contract . In the Lord ' s Court , the lawyers got Lord Piergeiron to rule the contract valid and the marriage official . Afterward , Khelben took the lead lawyer to meet Onyx and his alleged wife on their court - appointed wedding night , claiming Onyx had to fulfill a dwarf marriage custom , the " Bedchamber Trek " , or else the marriage would be invalid . The lawyer had to escort Onyx to the bed to enforce the ruling . However , Khelben created a nightmarish illusion for this trek and the terrified lawyer fled in horror , abandoning Onyx and thus reneging on the lawyers ' contract with the city , rendering it void as Khelben had planned . Kyriani revealed herself , but the two were now apparently officially married . On the hottest day of summer , 1358 DR , Vajra and Timoth arm - wrestled in the Smile as Kyriani watched on with her beau Fenn . Little did they know that their contest was magically enhanced , releasing Aviss and Fellandar from their extra - dimensional prison to wreak a path of destruction in the city . Kyriani and Onyx pursued and fought them . Finally , Khelben Arunsun hurled the villains back into their prison . Fell was impressed with Kyriani ' s prowess . Kyriani traveled with an adventuring company , which traveled south to fight in the Reclamation Wars in Tethyr while she remained in Waterdeep . After the Time of Troubles when Selûne ' s avatar , Luna , left Waterdeep , Kyriani was given ownership of the Selûne ' s Smile bar in the city and became a high - ranking member of Selûne ' s faith . She began an apprenticeship under Lady Alathene Moonstar and found she had a gift for magic . In 1368 DR , Kyriani became a Lord of Waterdeep after the resignation of Danilo Thann . Moonstar . After working with Khelben for years , Kyriani began acting as an independent and highly skilled agent of the Moonstars , the organization headed by Khelben . Thanks to her own divided ( often literally ) heritage , she appreciated the " Tel ' Teukiira " ' s aims to unify humans and elves . Her area of operation was Waterdeep and the cities along the Dessarin River . Late on the night of Greengrass in the Year of the Tankard , 1370 DR , two wizards engaged in a massive spell - battle around Piergeiron ' s Palace in Waterdeep . Kyriani and Laeral Silverhand made an effort to stop the battle , ending in one palace tower being destroyed and both mages slain , one of them a Manshoon . Blackstaff . When Khelben Arunsun died , Kyriani continued as a friend and advisor to the second Blackstaff , Tsarra Chasdren . In the Year of Fallen Friends , 1399 DR , Tsarra was killed in battle against a group of vampire wizards . Kyriani retrieved Tsarra ' s blackstaff , and returned it to Blackstaff Tower for safekeeping . Upon her arrival , she was named as the third Blackstaff with Caladorn Cassalanter at her side atop Blackstaff Tower . The same year , she wrote a book titled " A Life Relentless " . After Kyriani ' s death , her spirit remained in Blackstaff Tower to guide and advise future Blackstaffs . This was due to her wearing the " kiira n ' vaelhar " . Abilities . As a mage , Kyriani knew the spell s " feather fall " , " fireball " , " magic missile " , " shield " , and " stoneskin " . She could sense magic , such as when she felt evil magic before the opening of an extra - dimensional prison holding Aviss and Fellandar . Relationships . Kyriani had a half - brother , Priam Agrivar the paladin . She became allied with the first Blackstaff , Khelben Arunsun . On a number of occasions she would provide him with information ( such as the presence of Selûne in Waterdeep , or actively spy on noted figures ( including having an affair with the crime lord and masked Lord of Waterdeep , Carrill ) . In return , Khelben would use his magic to aid her in escaping from the city watch and secretly protect her from both enemies and the authorities . Kyriani was notorious for the number of lovers she maintained , of many different races .
