Chapter Three: The Scales Tip

Lieran was present in Aerie Peak when the ranger Gilveradin Windrunner happened to come through the Wildhammer settlement. Intrigued by the presence of an elf in the dwarf town, especially one that was not recognizable as being from Quel'Danil Lodge, they struck up conversation, at while point Gilveradin revealed he was searching for Falstad as well as aid for the war brewing up north. Lieran informed him that Falstad was not around, but suggested that he meet with High Thane Kurdran Wildhammer.

After the elf's meeting with the High Thane, she discovered that he was planning on continuing to to Quel'Danil Lodge, which happened to be her next stop as she was intending on visiting her sister, Loania, there that night. She offers to carry him the distance there, provided he could get her gryphon, Graysoar, to agree. Notably, the gryphon didn't like men. However, to her surprise, Gil seemed to earn her trust rather easily.

Upon arriving, Lieran introduced Gil to her twin sister, Loania, and after Loania took Gil to her mother, Voldana, for direction on where to take the missive he had to deliver, they set off to spend some time together.

The next day, after Gil met with Ranger-Captain Saldor Shallowbrook, he returned to the girls to give an update and be on his way. However, as they talked, he expressed that he might try to find a way down to Grim Batol--though it would likely have to be without a gryphon or dragonhawk. Lieran offered to leave a missive for Falstad on his behalf if he instead chose to head back up to Last Crossing, but was soon pulled away by Loania to have a quick private discussion.

During the talk, Loania was able to get Lieran to agree for them to help Gil get to Grim Batol, as Lieran had Graysoar, and Loania could likely borrow her mother's dragonhawk. While Lieran was a bit irritated by the idea at first, she soon took to it, and the trio set off together.

On the way to Grim Batol, they encountered a black fox just before being beset upon by a pair of fen lurkers. During the fight that ensued, Lieran witnessed the fox take on the form of a raptor as it aided them in fending off their enemies, and once the area was safe, it then transformed again into what appeared to be a trollish woman, who introduced herself as Seria. Lieran relented to allowing the woman to come with them, as she had aided them and was seemingly able to provide her own wings, and they continued on to Grim Batol, where she was able to indicate that they were allies by raising her stormhammer for the other dwarves to see.

However, upon landing, one of the high ranking dwarves informed them that the area was dangerous, and they should turn right around. However, thanks to her and Gilveradin's pushing, the dwarf agreed to take a curious message from Gil to Falstad. Falstad promptly appeared himself, and hurried the group inside, leaving Lieran, Loania, and Seria (who was disguised as a raven) to wait at a tavern while he spoke with the elf. Falstad and Gil returned soon after, and it was agreed that they would stay to help at Grim Batol for a few days before setting off again.

While their trip back to the Hinterlands were largely uneventful, upon passing over Hiri'watha it soon became clear that the trollish village there had been burned to ruins. At Gil's insistence, they landed so he could investigate, and he quickly uncovered evidence that the Highvale elves had been the ones to burn it down. Lieran insisted it was none of their business, and encouraged Gil to not get involved, but she was quickly outnumbered by both the elf and her sister, who desperately wanted to know why those she considered her family would do such a thing.

Lieran agreed to come with them back to Quel'Danil Lodge, and helped to pose as a distraction while Gil and Seria went to Saldor Shallowbrook's office to try and get the report that Jalinde Summerdrake, the ranger who had been in charge of the group that went to Hiri'watha, had placed. It soon became evident that Jalinde had been responsible, and she spoke up to try and keep her sister from asking the ranger why she did what she did, but was too late.

Driven by the fact that Loania was clearly hurt by the darkness she had seen in those she called her family, Lieran insisted on accompanying her and Gil back to Last Crossing, as that was where Loania's mother, Voldana, had gone, on the condition she could stop at Aerie Peak to inform her own father where she was heading.

Upon reaching Last Crossing, the town was in clear chaos, and it soon became evident that King Arthas had gone missing. After Gil spoke to the king's horse, Indomitable, Lieren offered to give the elf a ride on Graysoar so that he could more easily catch up to his companions, who had set off for Light's Hope Chapel in pursuit of whatever had happened to Arthas.

While she was introduced to the group, Lieran mostly kept her head low as the preliminary investigation went on, quickly realizing she was quite out of her element.
