Lynaria

Queen of Swordhaven and Champion of Light

Lynaria was a healer and Champion of Light who fought beside Alteon and Valen before becoming Alteon’s queen. She is the mother of Brittany, Victoria and Tara, and her affection for Valen endures after he becomes Sepulchure. Believing Darkness is not inherently evil, she tries to free him from his armor. Afterward she struggles to trust her memories of a child with him, Gravelyn, who grows up in his care. Lynaria fears being held to an inhuman ideal of perfection, while guilt, secrecy and illness strain her family relationships. She chooses her daughters over an imagined life with Valen, accepts that her choices hurt those she loves, and leaves Victoria free to decide whether to forgive her. Lynaria later dies, though accounts differ about the cause.
