Zyaan

Zyaan the Grafter is a Githyanki knight who became obsessed with the craft of grafting. His twin sister Zahrryth became an equally as obsessed artificer, and they stayed close to help each other with their studies.

Zyaan lives in a repurposed clocktower in the howling pages in The Eternal Archives.

The twins are linked, and feel if the other dies. If they do, they retrieve their twin’s soul and revive them. Zyaan keeps a log of every death and revival.

Zyaan had some connections to the psionic league, and through these connections made a deal to graft Azerius's eye. The Githyanki double crossed the psionic league, and Zyaan no longer grafts for the league.

### The Ziir Binding

When Zahrryth apprenticed under The Time Forger and Gond, both of them helped her create elements of her armor. When the Wanderers of the Expanse killed her, her soul was bound to the armor and became a living artifact called Ziir.

Zyaan felt his sister die, but immediately noticed that her soul did not go to the underworld. He investigated and discovered Ziir with his sister’s body inside. After seeing this, he believed this had all gone according to her plan - that Zahrryth had been scheming with Gond and The Time Forger on how to ascend beyond a physical body to become a pure artifact herself. He thought he should do the same.

### Attempting Ziir II

Zyaan went to investigate his sister’s workshop and found blueprints for her armor. They are divided into four sections, each with a corresponding symbol: one for the Gith, one for Hemomancy, one for The Time Forger, and one for Gond. The sections next to The Time Forger and Gond seem indecipherable for no apparent reason.

Zyaan built as much as the armor as he could from the blueprints, and now has become obsessed with finding The Time Forger and Gond to understand how he can build his own “Ziir”. He built a machine called the reprodimic triangulator that can track down the creator of a magic item if a duplicate of or two functional pieces of a magic item are put in it. Zyaan began to track any magic item he could confirm was created by The Time Forger or Gond, and noticed many of them centered around Ragabash.

Zyaan tracked down and killed Arch Priestess Winona to get The Undeity, and tracked down and killed Lenny the Peddler to get The Diadem of Mayhem.

### Attacking Ragabash

Ragabash is one of the few who knows where The Time Forger lives - making him a prime target for Zyaan. When Ragabash went to hide the Pommel of Azoriandas, he entrusted it to one of his centurions: Terrie Harkin. Terrie ventured into The Eternal Archives and was immediately tracked down by Zyaan, who looted the Pommel and Buckleboots. He fractured the boots leaving two stable pieces of a buckle, which when put in the Reprodimic Triangulator, points to their creator - Ragabash. One piece lost its magic in the triangulation and was left in the machine, while the other was tucked away before Zyaan left with a tracker pointed towards Ragabash.

While he left to hunt down Ragabash, Ragabash sent The Wanderers of the Expanse to raid The Grafter's Clocktower. The Wanderers warned Ragabash of Zyaan's approach, but it had no effect. Zyaan overpowered all of Ragabash's defenses and present allies killing Cig. and Ragabash retreated inside his scythe and called for help. Five Bloodless Centurions (Rizzo, Mizdrak, Dennik, Foubish, and Bedivere) arrived to help at staggered times, and all were subsequently killed and relieved of their buckleboots by Zyaan except Bedivere, who he mind controlled to help fight off the others.

The Wanderers contacted Ziir to help them track down Zyaan, which led them to the trove. Zyaan spent most of the fight dodging and escaping the group, but still managed to banish Ziir to the deepest depths of Carceri before leaving with Ragabash in his Scythe.
