Envenomed Blade of Archprincess Liagria of the Lilies

The Archcrown has long been supported by a quasi-religious order of (mostly) women of noble birth trained in various clandestine arts named the Daughters of the Lily. This support ranges from assassinations to covert missions to foreign courts. Daughters of the Lily are often assigned as innocent seeming ladies-in-waiting to members of the Archroyal family but double as skilled bodyguards.

This order was founded by the Archprincess Liagria of the Lilies, who had learned the ways of shortsword and dagger and had an extensive knowledge of poisons. These techniques would be passed on from noble mother to daughter over many generations.

Archprincess Liagria is credited amongst the Daughter of the Lilies with the assassination of her brother, the Archking Liagrius II. Liagrius II had been a violent and capricious man and in the eyes of many at the time, would have been a disaster for the still relitively new Llameryn-Leolinius Dynasty. Her fratricide cleared the path for her brother, Clovis I, to become Archking (at that early time, women were not yet able to inherit the Archcrown).

Return to Jaedenar

Nobody knows how old is the conflict between the Shadowhoof and the Felhoof satyr clans. Most of the living satyrs from either clan will tell you simply - as long as I remember, or.. it's always been there!

One thing is certain, it's a violent and bloody turf war, that has seen countless casualties on both sides and even more among the wildlife , innocent travelers and bystanders. Recently a splinter group of the Shadowhoof fled the warzone and sought out contact with the Brigade.

Among them Zaera, a powerful evoker, who has joined up with the Brigade and soon after returned to Jaedenar in Felwood, to guide Brigade strike teams through the deep mazes and burrows under the cursed forest.
