And you’re going to have to become something else very quickly if you are to survive what follows. ...* *If you are as adept as I believe you to be, you will. But you’ll desperately need to make use of your wit before you do of your sword. And I pray to the Light that you remember what that’s like.”* - Integra Iresong

## About

Born into a family of minor Thalassian nobles, Silvarisyn's childhood was not marked by any major incidents. Before the Fall, her parents ran a shop on the outskirts of Silvermoon. Her rather uneventful life gave her no reason to consider any path other than the one already set out in front of her.

As many a story go, she lost most of her relatives, acquaintances, and ties during the Fall of Silvermoon, which proved quite the eye-opening experience, to say the least.

## Personality

Silvarisyn's losses have turned her into a distrustful and resentful person, yet still finding the (in)appropriate timings for quick wit quips.

Military service had managed to nurture these feelings and amplify them further, towards even most of her own peers. However, once her loyalty had been gained, her express need to lend aid would remain a constant.

Whatever new friendships Silvarisyn still has left she values with her own life, for they make her own existance palatable in a world she would otherwise despise.

## Military service

Having been conscripted for Silvermoon's defense, Silvarisyn grew a liking to the *hands on* experience of helping the High Home with its undead problem.

After recovering from her Fel addiction, aided by the priests of the Sunfury Spire, she sought to rejoin the Thalassian war effort.

Eight years ago, she took ordinance to join the Blood Knight Order. During her adepcy, Silvarisyn had developed a very dry sense of humor, which came without the discernment of who to use it around, and persisted well throughout her knighthood.

## The Bloodcloaks

Under the recommendation of (at the time) Knight Ventheas Ordana, Adept Silvarisyn Tyralis was sourced from the Blood Knight Order into the The 6th Silvermoon Extraction Service - *The Bloodcloaks*.

This association had her occassionally disagree with Blood Mage & Magister Sunflare's decisions, despite him holding the position of Keeper and ultimately having the last say in the service's mode of operation. Nevertheless, she never questioned or disobeyed a direct order while in service to the Bloodcloaks.

## The Crimson Vanguard

As her training progressed, the mentor she shared with her peer and colleague Ventheas, sought to further elevate her within the ranks of the Hall. She joined the Crimson Vanguard under Champion Sathorn Blazecrest's command, alongside as a fellow knight, alongside Ventheas, after a particularly bloody campaign in Northrend.

However, Blood Knight training was not the only thing Champion Iresong provided. Under Lady Integra's tutelage, Silvarisyn was also allowed to obtain a bird's eye view of the political standpoints within Silvermoon City. Enough knowledge was gleaned to deter the still-young Knight from ever pursuing such a career, yet with the knowledge of knowing what she *doesn't* like, a rift began to form between Silvarisyn and her fellow golden-clad Firebrand knights.

## Further training

In all likelihood, the Blood Knight's disillusionment with her Order and city's political landscape must have began right after barely surviving a bloody and disastruous campaign in Northrend.

Alongside the Bloodcloaks and Integra's Dawnlight cavalry battalion, Silvarisyn survived 10 hours of gruesome and grotesque Scourge siege practices. Nevertheless, she persevered, and alongside Ventheas, Lillona and Lorathas, she saved the lives of an entire Argent encampment, while ensuring that 27 of her own Blood Knight peers survived the onslaught.

After this bloody affair she joined the Crimson Vanguard for a brief stay under Champion Blazecrest, yet parted ways with her friend & colleague Ventheas to pursue other venues of training and deployment. Returning to tutelage under Champion Integra Iresong, Silvarisyn was part of several exchange programmes that saw her accumulate field experience from deployments with members of the Eclipsion Blade and the Sanguine Eye, growing her own fighting prowess and mastery with (and over) the Light.

Some time after the Burning Titan plunged his sword into Azeroth, both Silvarisyn and Ventheas returned to service in the Dawnlight, the former being awarded the position of *First Light*, as she would ride at the spearhead of the reformed mounted battalion.

## Disillusionment with the Blood Knight Order

Summoned outside Silvermoon City's walls by Champion Integra Iresong, her mentor and commanding officer would arrive uncharacteristically late to the arranged meeting. Fellow knight Ventheas Ordana had also been summoned at the appointed hour, and both spent some time indulging on specualtion as to the nature of Lady Iresong's holdup.

After a few hours' wait, Lady Integra Iresong arrives not dressed in her usual ceremonial or office regalia, but instead donning the red and black, indistinguishable from the average Blood Knight. Silvarisyn's supicions only grew when their shared mentor had them both kneel with the utterance of a single word, and without having to undertake the Sunfury rites of the past, Integra invested them both as Masters of the Blood Knight Order.

Questions raced out of Silvarisyn's sharp tongue, which Integra would once more cut down with a solitary word, and with comical juxtaposition answering the fresh Blood Knight Master's questions in derogatory fashion.

Silvarisyn would come to understand the need for brevity as not long after the two new annointed Masters rose up to their heights a mounted detachment of Blood Knights came racing towards her remote gathering. She was spared most of the sight of the ensuing battle and its outcome, as Integra had already planned to send at least one of her knights away to escape the cruel fate the Blood Elf politicians had in store for them after Northrend's events.

## A Scryer of Shattrath

Integra's words of advice must have been taken to heart by the still-young Master, as the next time Silvarisyn emerged to the world it was from a position of earned prestige and power. Part of the Scryer of Shattrath, she reported directly to Magistrix Fyalenn and commanded her own unit, The Black Talons, as a Scryer Captain.

Together with her unit she operated as a last-resort, thwarting domestic threats to the City of the Light and seldomly deployed beyond the border of Terokkar Forest. During her ascent with the Scryers she never strayed from Integra's teachings, and in fact - given the proximity to the Naaru A'dal - she had renewed her faith in the Light.

Her quick wit and sharp tongue also had grown in tandem, and had the tendency to land the Blood Knight Master & Scryer Captain in trouble more often than some of her superiors would have liked, but given her undeniable results, and tight unit cohesion, both her Talons and Magistrix Fyalenn fought for her when the need arose.

## The Eclipse War

Silvarisyn's path first crossed with Lady Rhelonia Astarte before even being made aware of the Phoenix Ring's existence. During the gradual increase of activity in Terokkar Forest, and eventual resurgence of the Selama'Serrar's might, Silvarisyn was first tasked by Magistrix Fyalenn to act as an Ambassador of Shattrath to their new ex-Sunfury guest.

While Rhelonia never managed to gain Silvarisyn's friendship during the Eclipse War, she certainly earned her respect - a fact which bode well when the Blood Knight would eventually accept an offer of service and pledge her service to House Astarte.

During the Eclipse War of Terokkar Silvarisyn held the rank of Major in Rhelonia's SDF *(Shattrath Defense Force)*, and together with Generals Irillien Bladesworn and Irelia Dawnbringer made victory possible in several key battles.

Silvarisyn's agents in the Black Talons scouted the incoming concealed Void Elf forces and through Operative Rena's expertise in xenobiology pieced together the true intentions of the Selama'Serrar operations in Terokkar.

## The Phoenix Ring

After the Eclipse War's conclusion, and the Selama'Serrar's last stand in Terokkar, Silvarisyn and Fyalenn mutually ended their relationship and service, freeing the Blood Knight Master to pursue future adventures wherever they may take her.

During the trial of Irillien Bladesworn on Quel'Danas Silvarisyn accepted Rhelonia Astarte's offer, pledging her service to House Astarte and thus prioritizing the newfound loyalty above the rest. She simultaneously entered service under Commanders Irillien Bladesworn and Eidanar Sunreach - the latter of which she had to overcome past animosities with - and became a fully fledged member of a new Thalassian service, *The Phoenix Ring*.
