Lanahari ta’Lunatein was the firstborn child of Ibenion ta’Lunatein, captain of the Moonfire and founder of the Elfream of Ibevar post Landing. She was married to Jaher prior to the Landing and became part of the Jaherian harem. Though she would father no children with her husband, sources differ on whether it was that she was either too sickly to risk becoming pregnant or if she was unable to have children as a result of being barren. Most firsthand accounts point to their relationship being cool but pleasant and hint that Lanahari’s interests lay elsewhere than her husband and emphasize her close companionship with her bodyguards.
Lanahari also brought with her a veritable library of tomes on the ancient bladedancing techniques of the Precursors, a style that had been lost as a result of a missing paradigm in the modern elves' understanding of how to practice the martial art. She’d been fascinated with this illustrated tomes of battle growing up and would spend most of her time not attending her husband or his nascent Empire discussing the ideas in these tomes with her cadre of bodyguards who attended her, many of whom had been drawn from the same circle of devotees to what knowledge the Remnant Fleet had retained on bladedancing.
Involvement in the Phoenix Empire[]
Relatively uninvolved with the politics of Bulwar she did become involved with the Jaherian Campaigns in the east as she heard tales of the strange techniques employed by some of those encountered on the edge of the Empire. She and the Princess Guard would volunteer to aid in the administration of the campaign against Xianjie and they’d eventually join the field in a minor skirmish as a result of necessity. A choice that would be the end for the Princess of Ibevar.
What records we do have access to paint the scene as one of an air filled with tension, as the the bladedancers of the Jianxusi faced off against the Princess Guard in a one-sided defeat for the elves. Most of the Princess Guard would be captured so as to provide information on their new foes for the Xiaken. Lanahari herself would not be so lucky, facing off against one of the Jianxusi masters and being cut down in short order. It was said that she died with a strange peace, explaining between coughs that she believed there was a link between this bladedancing and the lost Precursor art, imploring her companions to learn all they could to reunite these traditions.
