Gathering Tribute
In the years following the fall of the Lich King, Inkorkast and Alytheria struggled to survive with their newfound free will. Though both were committed to the cause of the Scourge, the original Lich King's mission had been stalled indefinitely with the ascension of Bolvar Fordragon to the Frozen Throne. As they did their best to to sate their thirst for blood, the two San'layn lost faith in their potential to return to power through the Scourge.

Alytheria and Inkorkast began to travel, under the guise of a living pair. They both attempted to return to the world, yet felt discouraged by the suspicion that hatred for the Scourge - San'layn included - continued to linger. The two coped with their loneliness by instead pursuing knowledge, seeking to learn more of their affliction.

They grew curious, wondering why the Lich King had raised them as undead cursed with a thirst for blood, rather than creating Death Knights from the dead Blood Elves. They sought to understand their curse, and learned of the existence of vampyr, and a hunger that predated the Scourge by centuries, possibly millennia. The revelation fascinated them, driving them to learn more.

In the process of their search for enlightenment, they returned to the Borean Tundra to revisit the Library of Sitat'izar. Within the Library they learned of a vampyr legend known as Arbitian, and the tombs in which he slept.

They were awed by the power Arbitian was said to wield, and saw in the legend a chance to fill the void caused by the Lich King's death, as well as a cure to their loneliness. Inkorkast and Alytheria resolved to one day awaken Arbitian, hoping to revive the ancient society he was said to lead and no longer wander the world as two lone San'layn. In order to accomplish this, they both agreed they would require tribute, a power base to offer to Arbitian to permit him to rose to power.

For the first time, Inkorkast and Alytheria separated. With the Burning Legion's invasion, Alytheria saw a desperation within the Horde that would permit her to join their ranks, especially after Sylvanas Windrunner arose to the position of Warchief.

Seeds of Corruption
Masking her vampiric identity, Alytheria rose in influence among the Horde until she could organize and lead a clandestine network of spies, gathering individuals capable of carrying out illicit activities in the name of the Warchief. Despite her work in amassing her power base, she could not help but wonder what condition her family was in. When she was alive, she had been the matriarch of House Solflame, and the house's current status was an unknown.

Alytheria returned under her illusion, but was immediately dismissed. Raitaus, now the patriarch, knew full well that Alytheria had died in Icecrown, and he had informed others of this reality as well. However, one who did not reject the San'layn was Valythra, who remained unaware of what her grandmother had become. Valythra remained dutifully reverent towards her ancestors and was still loyal to Alytheria.

Suddenly, Alytheria saw an avenue for potential. Despite how much she wanted to help Valythra succeed, after watching her struggle under her father's neglect, she now knew of methods by which she could grant her unfortunate granddaughter an avenue to succeed, for the Scourge had fulfilled such a dream for many lost souls once before. Earning Valythra's trust, Alytheria later revealed herself as San'layn to Valythra. Dangling a metaphorical carrot before Valythra, the young Sin'dorei saw a chance to escape her cursed existence and finally achieve something great.

Though Alytheria yearned to give Valythra what she craved, she knew that too much was at stake to begin drawing attention with the turning of her granddaughter, as it would undoubtedly draw attention. Instead, she set her eyes upon the Onyx Rose Order, whose leader, Tyrinade Moonsong, was a prominent figure in the Horde and a San'layn. Alytheria concocted a plan in which, by planting the desire for vampirism in Valythra, she would inevitably push Valythra to turn to Tyrinade instead, allowing Alytheria herself to remain guiltless for her turning.

Valythra went on to join Alytheria's agency, eager to prove herself for the gift that would not come. To ensure that her power base would be able to serve Mateus after his awakening, Alytheria placed a rune on each agent's body, a spider that would guard the secrets of the network but also grant her an avenue by which she could control the members if needed.
