Illaria / Caoimhe
Necromancer and Warden of Termina Temple
Illaria is Kieran’s daughter and Iona’s former Southern Warden, whose guilt makes accepting freedom and family difficult. Stolen in infancy, she was raised among Iona’s adopted children and manipulated into believing her father would reject her. Iona made her cast her strongest Energy spells blindfolded, then confronted her with the dead. Her affection for Kieran nevertheless survives. While working with the Fianna as Caoimhe and hiding her role as Warden, she quietly resists Iona’s orders.
Kieran’s recognition and offer of a home do not immediately free Illaria from that guilt. At Termina Temple with Indradeep and Felix, she protects others and helps children taken by Iona adjust to freedom. Painting gives her a pleasure Iona would have dismissed as frivolous. She also grieves the real Caoimhe, her friend and mentor, whom the Lightguard fed to a deadly creation. Illaria fears that no soul may remain for her to reach.
