Miriel Hana, at a time Miriel Hana [[PCs:Xilo'rulithii|Xilo'rulithii]], is a public figure in [[Visimontium]] from the early days of the Holy City of [[Andrinor]] - the middle of the XXII<sup><small>nd</small></sup> century after the Age of Peace. She is a chronicler and longtime member of the City's law enforcement and standing army, until her departure to [[Tyedu]] in 2235. While Miriel's historical significance in Visimontium and beyond is yet to be evaluated, this text focuses on her personality and appearance.
Elemmiire y'Hannah Dravanie tel'Suzail is a public figure in [[Visimontium]] from the founding days of the Holy City of [[Andrinor]] and is commonly referred to as Miriel Hana (at a time Miriel Hana [[PCs:Xilo'rulithii|Xilo'rulithii]]). She is a chronicler and longtime member of the City's law enforcement and standing army, until her departure to [[Tyedu]] in 2235. While Miriel's historical significance in Visimontium and beyond is yet to be evaluated, this text focuses on her personality and appearance.




[[PCs:Eudaimon_Dawnblade|Eudaimon Dawnblade]] whom Miriel weds in 2230, keeps the only known portrait of hers. The [http://gallery.avlis.org/v/Hamlet/Avlissian/helenelemmiire.png.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1 portrait], painted by [[PCs:Janur_da_Medican|Janur da Medican]] in his [[Mikona]] studio circa 2212, presents Miriel with her student [[NPCs:Helene_Stillwater|Helene]], both in formal dress.
[[PCs:Eudaimon_Dawnblade|Eudaimon Dawnblade]] whom Miriel weds in 2230, has kept the only known portrait of hers. The portrait, painted by [[PCs:Janur_da_Medican|Janur da Medican]] in his [[Mikona]] studio circa 2212, presents Miriel with her student [[NPCs:Helene_Stillwater|Helene]], both in formal dress. The portrait's whereabouts are unknown since Eudaimon's passing in 2242.




The depiction embellishes Miriel's unnatural pallor of complexion and petite stature. The latter is emphasized all the more by an imposing [http://gallery.avlis.org/v/Hamlet/Avlissian/MirielsJournal/Disenchantment.jpg.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1 staff] wrought of dark steel and onyx, topped with a crystal skull head. Framed by short, silvery white hair, Miriel's drawn face bears an expressionless mask. Her eyes display hues of ice and steel, sharpened further by her intense stare.
The depiction embellishes Miriel's unnatural pallor of complexion and petite stature (under 4'11" at 90 lbs). The latter is emphasized all the more by "Disenchantment / Disillusionment", an imposing staff wrought of dark steel and onyx, topped with a crystal skull head. Framed by short, silvery white hair, Miriel's drawn face bears an expressionless mask. Her eyes display hues of ice and steel, sharpened further by her intense stare.




In Janur's painting, Miriel is wearing a modest silver [http://gallery.avlis.org/v/Hamlet/Avlissian/MirielsJournal/RosyCheeks.jpg.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1 necklace], adorned by a small, bright ruby. [[PCs:Delaroweil_Hend|Delaroweil]] of [[SilverFall|Silver Fall]], the artisan behind most of Miriel's jewelry, claims no hand in it. Miriel has been noted in the Avlissian South also for an eclectic wardrobe of her own design. The [[PCs:Kate_Benneset|Ice Witch]] of Mikona keeps a few of Miriel's original designs; unfortunately, the reptile scale gown portrayed by Janur is not among them.

==== Recent Rumours ====
==== Last Known Rumours ====
<br>
<br>
Five winters pass since Miriel sets off for the Frozen North, until she is once more seen in Visimontium. Rumor has it that she has undergone an incident, causing her to lose a great many of her personal memories. She has also taken to sign with what she explains is her given name, Elemmiire Dravanie. Her retirement from the Sentinels and her move from the White Order to the Ashen are another serving of the town gossip.  
Five winters pass since Miriel sets off for the Frozen North, until she is once more seen in Visimontium.
 
 
Rumour has it that she has undergone an incident, causing her to lose a great many of her personal memories. She has also been rather insistent to introduce herself by her formal name, Elemmiire y'Hannah Dravanie tel'Suzail. Her retirement from active Sentinel duty and her move from the White Order of the Light to the Ashen Order of the Stars are another hot topic in tavern gossip.
 
 
With few exceptions, Elemmiire is rarely found in the company of people she has associated with before her memory loss. She is a frequent guest at Visimontium's [[Arcane Imports]] and can be found tending to [[Vorin's Treasure Trove and Rest]] every other week. The Retreat, recently renovated, remains her address of residence.
 
 
The most notable change about Miriel, however, is her newfound approach to the Arcane Arts. Reluctant and heavy-handed with magic before, the self-titled Fatespinner of the Stars now draws spells with the ease and apparent pleasure of a child prodigy.
 
 
She remains a public figure until the late 2240s when she disappears once more.

==== Riddles ====
<br>
From the first illustrated edition of [[The Dreamwalkers]], circa 2247:
<br><br>
: This is the final surviving version of the epics on the Lost Princess' last journey.
 
: Following her return from Tyedu, Sage Miriel of Visimontium was no longer in possession of any memory of those events, -- or her life on Avlis, -- and was left to gather the pieces on her own. As time progressed, she became aloof. In her words, she was often unable to tell an "if" from a "when", or even a "where".
 
: I chanced to be the last man to see her. That was when she handed her finished work to me. "It is done," she said with a chuckle and turned away, vanishing in thin air at her next step. It was no magic, arcane or eldritch, that we were able to trace. For all we knew, Elemmiire no longer existed in the fabric of our reality.  
 
: -Sage Terrinus of the ATU
