When she became older, Queen Ayrenn had her beloved pet Indrik, Lotus be brought to and cared for in Sil-Var-Woad by the staff. Lotus was primarily taken care of by Talomar, a High Elf staff member of the zoo. Talomar had grown bond of the Indrik, giving the utmost care to the magic deer. A member of the Eyes of the Queen, Elise Mallon was sent to Sil-Var-Woad to uncover strange experiments done by the animals, and to garner a distraction, Mallon had unleashed all of the animals out of their pens, running amuck throughout Sil-Var-Woad. With the help of a wandering Nebarra, Talomar was able to find Lotus amidst the chaos, who was then taken by Conservator Vinelore. In reality, Vinelore had experimented with the animals, turning them into abominations to use against Queen Ayrenn. Before she could do anything with Lotus, she was killed by the Nebarra. Sil-Var-Woad was restored to order.Events in "Untamed and Unleashed"
