Ys'arial Miri'nal

Lady Ysaria Silverspire (Formerly Ys'arial Miri'nal) is the only survivor of House Miri'nal of Eldarath, and currently continues her "disguised" existance as she maintains ties with various social groups.

History
Long before the Sundering the benevolent Vespiria Miri'nal, Matron of the shining city of Eldarath, gave birth to a daughter. Thus, Ys'arial Miri'nal came to exist. Lady Miri'nal, having been born to parents fanatically devoted to Queen Azshara and being the sole child of the cities governing family, Ys'arial relished the life and privilege of being a part of the elite Highborne caste. Her position in life was procured by her rank and talents with the arcane, but reinforced by an eventual arranged bonding to man named Xorial, the son of another noble family.

Ys'arial showed immense promise in the arts of the arcane, even at a young age. She eventually proved to be a prodigy. As she grew, she did everything to elevate herself in the Queen's eyes, going so far as to sabotage a rival by means of  unbalancing the spell she was working with, not only marring her rival’s face but making a fool of the woman as well. Soon afterwards, for her efforts and status, she was asked to serve as one of the personal handmaidens of Azshara herself, an honor she readily accepted as she practically worshipped the Queen.

As an elevated and honored servant of the Queen, Ys'arial was exempt from anything pertaining to the eventual war. Her safety and prosperity ensured, she  watched the chaos that began to overtake the Elven Empire, and stood with her kin as they enjoyed a regal life within the palace of Azshara. She also betrayed her mate and family, to choose her own lifemate, a man named Valdren, in secret. However, as the war drew on, her beloved Valdren, decided to defect. Under the light of the moon, he asked her to come with him. However, Ys'arial chose her duties to her family, mate, and Queen. Valdren swore that he would come back for her when the war was over and made her promise to endure no matter what. However, the next night he was cut down by a doomguard, as Ys'arial looked on from the handmaidens wing.

Masking her despair with indifference, she used her place as a handmaiden to get down to the place where Valdren's body lay abandoned. Her own magic was his pyre. Intent on keeping her promise to him, Ys'arial threw herself into her tasks at Court, trying to keep what she still had. The days passed and her despair grew until finally she decided to heed her beloved’s words and leave what he had called “her gilded cage.” The day she intended to leave was the day she was called to the Queen’s side. During those final moments in the palace when the world was Sundered and the Queen’s protection failed and the waters rushed in, she betrayed the Lady she had worshipped and fled the life she had known. Suddenly racked with pain, she recklessly called upon magic’s beyond her skill and teleported herself away from the source of her fate. Such action caused the spell to backlash upon her. It did not take her to the place she intended. After an unknown amount of time, she awoke on the shores an unfamiliar world of ruin, with nothing but agony and a then unexplainable patch of scales.

As madness set in, she  attempted to join the kin she believed dead under the waves. In this she failed, as whatever power had caused the scales to form seemed to have further cursed her with distorted immortality. Upon this discovery, full madness fell upon Ys'arial and for centuries she wandered, alone and full of resentment. When she did regain her sanity she abandoned her true name, altering it so that the name Ysaria Silverspire would forever hide who she really was. She used her magic to create a new estate of Miri'nal. As the millennia passed, her pride and skill in her arts grew, as she was unhindered by secrecy or forbidden to practice them. Her goals are known to none but herself.
