Archetype

Jungian archetypeThe Great Mother

The light that finds the lost. She never appears in person; her lantern does her work.

The story

Lyria is sung of by bards and prayed to by the desperate. Her lantern lay dark in the sunless Shroudlands until Eadric found it, gave up his fear to reignite it, and carried its light to the despairing village of Hallowfen. 'A light is not meant to be hoarded,' her Keeper said. 'It is meant to be shared.'

Appearance

A luminous figure in white and gold with pale hair like starlight, carrying a lantern whose glow reveals the paths hidden to the unworthy.

Signature

The Lantern of Lyria, which asks a memory, a fear or a hope of whoever reignites it.
