## Stats

Alyrin is a Forsaken (formerly Night Elf) priestess of Elune played by Theo. She was born shortly before the War of the Ancients. At the Battle of Mount Hyjal at the end of the Third War, she was slain and resurrected without control of her own mind. Eventually, she was freed of that influence but was unable to remember much of anything about her past life. During a near second-death experience, a vision of Elune granted her restored memories of her past, and her druid brother who she believes to be in trouble. Alyrin is the party healer and everyone would be dead 10x over without her. She maybe likes to eat dead bodies tho nbd

## Background

Alyrin was born a Night Elf during the Long Vigil, a period before the War of the Ancients. This was before the Sundering, in which Azeroth's continents were split apart. While she was too young to participate in the War of the Ancients, she does have memories of it occurring during her childhood. Alyrin has two siblings, a sister which she has shared little about and a brother who is a druid and member of the Cenarian Circle.

As an adult, Alyrin joined the priestesses of Elune and became a part of the Sentinels, a group of priestesses renowned for their abilities in combat. Alyrin fought in the War of Satyrs which occurred in the years after the Sundering. In more recent times, she fought in the Third War, where she fell at the Battle of Mount Hyjal defending Nordrassil. Following her death, she was raised by the Lich King as a Forsaken and conscripted into his army.

Under the influence of the Lich King, Alyrin had no free will or sense of self, a true Zombie in mind and body. The influence of the Lich King was eventually broken following his defeat. Alyrin regained autonomy, but retained no memories of her past life. She joined the Forsaken under Sylvanas Windrunner in the Undercity, beneath the ruins of Lordaeron. As time passed, she began to receive flashes of her former life. Though she could not remember most of the details, she regained enough to know of her brother, and understand that her visions warned of his life in danger. Alyrin set out to regain the rest of her lost memories and come to her brother's aid.

## Campaign

### Ratchet Arc

Alyrin found her way to the Broken Keel Tavern in Ratchet where she encountered Captain Brightsun, a Blood Elf captain requesting aid in rescuing his cousin Gilthares Firebough from the South Sea Freebooters. Alyrin overheard Brightsun's conversation with another Blood Elf, Isilee, and offered her services in exchange for passage North. Isilee and Alyrin proceeded to infiltrate the pirate camp together, finding their way to where Gilthares was being held prisoner, only to find themselves surrounded and taken prisoner.

Shortly after, Ga'an and Adelaide were taken prisoner as well and thrown into the same cell as Alyrin, Isilee, and Gilthares. The five freed themselves from their prison and fought their way out of the camp. Alyrin's memories were restored to her in a dream, of which she shared the basic details of with her new companions. In this dream, Elune spoke to her directly, guiding her on the path towards saving her brother.

### Ragefire Arc

While searching for evidence of Neeru Fireblade's connection to the Searing Blade, the GayteKeepërs tracked down and interrogated Nekros Clantaker of the Shadowswift Brotherhood. As part of this interregation, Alyrin severed one of Nekros' fingers, and failed to stabilize the wound after. This lead to Nekros' death while being transported to Yelmak's Alchemy in a wooden barrel. The following day, the party noticed Alyrin appeared grayer than normal and seemed to struggle with casting holy magic. Alyrin was initially confused by her faltering connection to Elune, but eventually came to realize it to be a result of her actions in the torture of Nekros. She then received a vision from Elune in which she was forced to fight the representation of her darkest parts. She succeed in this trial and once more regained the favor of Elune.

During the confrontation with Neeru, Adelaide was struck down and her soul trapped in a soul gem. Alyrin successfully called on the power of Elune to both break her soul out of the gem and revivify Adelaide.

### First Home Arc

Alyrin and Ga'an traveled to the Valley of Spirits, seeking information on the druids and what might be endangering Alyrin's brother. They were told there that Emissary Blackhoof of the Cenarian Circle can provide them more information, and that he will be along shortly. Blackhoof found the GayteKeepërs at the Broken Tusk Tavern later that day. He spoke to the party of troubling instances of night elves not awakening from the Emerald Dream. The Circle is unsure of the nature of the issue, particularly as their leader, Malfurion Stormrage, has also fallen into a slumber from which he cannot be awakened. In his absence, Fandral Staghelm has stepped up as interim leader of the Cenarian Circle. Blackhoof offered for the party to accompany him to the Circle's stronghold in Moonglade, but cautioned that Fandril does not look kindly on non-druids, particularly the undead, entering Moonglade. The party declined the offer as Ga'an's business in First Home was more pressing, but received a letter from Blackhoof which should grant them access to the glade.
