Iyar

**Iyar** is a love interest in the book The Flower from Tiamat's Fire.

## About Iyar

Iyar is a music teacher at the academy. He always has his lyre with him, a string instrument, and likes to plays music or recite ancient legends during conversations. He seems to have some medical knowledge. When Iyar is not teaching, he usually hangs out with Nikkal and her friends, showing off his goofy side.

Iyar's name means "second" because he was the second child found by a Sumerian wandering tribe called Nam-Lugal. They taught him to sing, to play instruments, to dance, to steal, to joke and all the legends in order to entertain people.

Iyar used to serve Shamash and Enlil of the Five, both musically and intimately. During a terrible battle against humans where he worked as a healer on the mages' side, he was too scared and tired to give shelter to a human girl that asked him for help. She later died on the battlefield and Iyar has felt guilty ever since, but Shamash and Enlil laughed it off and even insulted her. After that, he started singing songs about the Five, about the atrocities that happened during the war and how power hungry they actually are. As a result, Iyar was sentenced to death but was rescued by Kingu who hid him inside Chaos itself. Instead of killing Iyar, Chaos accepted him and he returned from it a few years later, forever changed. He was allowed to seek sanctuary in Niall's academy and the warden explained his connection to Chaos to the students and staff as a "special variation of water magic" in order to hide Iyar's true magic.

Over the course of the story, Iyar supports Nikkal's search for her missing brother. Together, they visit Ur, the capital, and face The Five. Iyar also decides to fight alongside Nikkal and her friends after Tiamat starts threatening to distroy the world as they know it.

## Trivia

* Don'ts: taverns and the often terrible music played there, humid weather, when a melody is too long and your fingers hurt as you play it
* Iyar is an orphan. He doesn't know his real family, but he was raised by the Nam-Lugal tribe. They had stopped near the forest, not far from his village, and in the morning they found one-year-old Iyar sleeping on the wheel of one of their carts. The Nam-Lugal tribe taught him songs, legends, and how to play musical instruments.
