Nir-Lyra Leuvaarden

Lyra Leuvaarden (Valoise: Nir-Lyra Kavar ar Leuwaarden, born 3472 - unknown date) also known by the names Nerael, the Nymph of a Hundred Names (Olmë: Nymff Neremwau), Lara Longstride, Kwynne (in Istra), as well as many others, was an Avaline maag, adventurer, writer, privateer, scout, and archaeologist of the early days of the founding of Neuvalon. The younger half-sister of Neuvalon's founder and first-king, Ter-Beren I, she was one of his two surviving siblings prior to the exodus from Tor Vallon.

Disinterested in her noble roots, she led a life of adventure and discovery, notably being the first to find lake Tryw, on the shores of which the city of Leuvaarden would take root. In the years following the initial settlement, her restless nature led her to far off lands, with unconfirmed sources claiming that her travels took her as far as Andimon in Suthria, as well as past the lands of the Artinians of Edankshan.
