Liadove

Liadove is a Kalashtar Mage associated with both the Last Day and the Order of the Ostiaries.

Since the Battle of Manifestation's Return at Whittengrove in 9WD, she has travelled the Plane of Dreams alongside Zareyl Arkenviir.

## Description

Little is currently known of Liadove, most of which comes from Caledhelion's interactions with her during his time as a fellow member of the Order of the Ostiaries. Capable but reticent, she proved to be one of the Order's more successful members, but never seemingly desired to rise through its ranks and hierarchy. Despite it, this reliability afforded her a looser rein than most members, and with it an increased sense of independence.

When Cal stumbled across a artifact containing the trapped djinn Asari, he wished to bind his destiny to that of Liadove's - and while blossoming feelings started to flower further, Cal found himself cast out from the Order.

Liadove, or rather a younger version of her in memory form, was encountered at The Last Day's Compound. In a letter written to Eordemos Lightvale, with whom a familial or romantic relationship seems implied, she informs him that she fears what he has become, and has so stolen away a Legacy to prevent him from using it for dark machinations.

During attempts to discern Liadove's whereabouts, it was established that she did not reside on the Prime Material Plane, nor Dal Quor, having hidden herself and one of the Legacies of Distant Reverie away elsewhere. Having recieved training from Zerth Zarmiak and the other devotees of Aer'ank'ltor, it is implied that she follows the faith of Il-Yannah.

Untrusting of those of Nelenet's Expedition Guild attempting to contact her, she left a clue to her location within Humbleblossom Estate in the form of the Rosaigostone, believing that Caledhelion would understand its significance.

Liadove came to reside within the Cenobium Cosmic, a monastery watched over by Tianyan, from where she guarded the last Legacy of Distant Reverie. Hadar's forces, led by her brother Eordemos eventually assaulted the monastery, destroying much of the sanctuary and claiming the artifact. Despite it, both Tianyan and Liadove survived the assault, and thus arrived at Whittengrove in 9WD to aid in the battle against Hadar's return. Though slain in the battle, Liadove was later revived by Zareyl, now in possession of all three Legacies.

## Liadove's Letter to Eordemos Lightvale

*"My Dear Demo,*

*I've addressed this letter to you, but I think part of me knows that you will never look upon it with your own eyes. Perhaps that is a good thing, but there is longing in my heart nonetheless. We have been entwinned in life and death it seems - and now I know that the hollowness in my heart and soul is just a reflection of your own, with what has befallen you.*

*Do you remember when we were children and paid that crabber to take us in the coast so we could meet the merfolk? The joy of adventure that soured into fear the moment the cliff gave way and we tumbled into the waters? I have such fear now, Demo, not for myself - but for you. I knew your anger, pain scarred across generations - scoured onto the minds of those that survived the Cleansing. You have let your desire for revenge to consume you, and in it I fear you find yourself lost.*

*I know why you have returned here. I know what you seek. The darkness that stirs within you guides your step, shapes your words and deeds. Only makes sense to start back where it all started.*

*It is not here.*

*Demo, the real Demo, will know where to find me. The final Legacy of il-Yannah will not fall into the hands of il-Indlatavar. The Great Light will be renewed, and with it the void will be dispelled.*

*Return to your precious dove,*

*L."*
