Her apparent devotion to giant tradition and extensive knowledge of storm giant history quickly earned the royal family's trust. When Hekaton remarried to Neri, Lyrith maintained her position by demonstrating unwavering loyalty while subtly undermining the new queen's progressive ideas. After Neri's assassination—which she secretly orchestrated—Lyrith became indispensable to the grieving family. With Hekaton now missing, Lyrith has become the true power behind the throne. She manipulates Serissa with seemingly supportive counsel while simultaneously encouraging Mirran and Nym's ambitions. She has cautioned Serissa against seeking small folk assistance and advised against trusting Zephyros' prophecy about Reese. ## Stats Use **[[Iymrith]]** stat block with permanent illusion magic. %%
