In the darkest cold, even the smallest flame can light the way. Be that light for others, and together, we will endure.

— Lyvara Emberveil

Age: 68 (appears mid-30s due to divine blessings)

Race: Elf

Occupation: High Priestess of the Everflame, spiritual leader of Frosthaven

Physical Description

Lyvara Emberveil is a striking figure, her presence exuding both grace and power. Her long, auburn hair flows like a river of flame, and her emerald-green eyes radiate a calming warmth. Her porcelain skin bears faint golden markings, said to be blessings from the Everflame itself. She is always adorned in ceremonial robes of white and gold, trimmed with fiery orange patterns that shimmer like embers.

A pendant shaped like a small flame rests at her neck, the Emberlight Talisman, which glows faintly with divine energy. Her gentle voice carries a melodious quality, and her movements are serene yet purposeful.

Personality

Lyvara is compassionate and wise, offering counsel to all who seek her guidance. She is deeply devoted to her faith and serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration to the people of Frosthaven. Despite her serene exterior, she harbors an unyielding resolve when defending her beliefs or protecting the innocent.

She is a patient teacher, often meditating for hours with her acolytes or tending to the injured and destitute. However, she can be fiercely protective of her order and its sacred flame, unwilling to tolerate those who desecrate or misuse its power.

History

Born in the elven sanctuaries of the Glacial Labyrinth, Lyvara showed an early affinity for fire magic—an exceedingly rare gift in the frozen lands. This drew the attention of the priests of the Everflame, who saw her as a divine prodigy.

At 20, she began her training under the previous High Priestess and quickly demonstrated unparalleled devotion and skill. Lyvara ascended to the position of High Priestess at the age of 40 after the previous leader perished during a raid on the sacred Cradle of Flame. She took up the mantle with grace, vowing to protect the Everflame and spread its warmth to those in need.

Under her leadership, the Temple of the Everflame in Frosthaven has become a sanctuary for the downtrodden and a critical source of spiritual strength for the city. Despite the scarcity of fire magic in the region, she uses her abilities sparingly, focusing instead on nurturing others and ensuring the Everflame’s survival.
