Story: Avire was born in Aerenal thousands of years before our story takes place. When she developed a Mark of Death, she was taken in by the Vols. She grew up with Minara d’Vol and they became very close. On the island of Thal Taluna, Avire and Minara worked together in experiments with necromancy, processes by which Avire was turned into a vampire. During the ongoing war between dragons and elves, the Vols sought to bring peace by combining the bloodlines. Minara herself was impregnated by the green dragon, the Emerald Claw. When she fell in love with the dragon, Avire was the only to know this secret, as she was a trusted friend to Minara, and had fallen in love with a dragon herself. When Minara gave birth to the child, Erandis, Avire was honored to be a godmother to her. When the dragons and elves found out about the experiments of the Vols, and the mixed-blood child, they united in a common goal to eradicate the house entirely. Avire was an ally in smuggling Erandis out of Aerenal and to Khorvaire. She, however, stayed on the island with Minara and her family. When the raid on Thal Taluna happened, and the last of the Vols were wiped out, Avire was the victim of a fortunate accident. She stumbled into a machine that caused her to blink out of existence, a process she likely would not have survived if she were not undead. 

Avire returned some thousands of years later, reappearing in the ruins of her lab. The last of the Vols. She has heard horrid rumors, however, that her beloved niece Erandis is a fabled lich, Lady Illmarrow. Now walking Eberron again, Avire’s goal in her undeath is to get retribution for her house, and cause general mayhem on the way. But first, she has to reorient herself in a world so different than the one she left, partnering with a small band of unscrupulous individuals to do so. 

So soon after returning to the world, she hears tell that her goddaughter is still around, and is aware of Avire’s appearance. As she leaves the party to connect with her only family, one must wonder how has Erandis, Lady Illmarrow, has changed in these thousands of years. What are her intentions with Avire?
