	Elara Corvayne was ~~the mother~~ of ~~Aelira and Myrra~~ Corvayne and ~~wife of Eldrin Corvayne~~. She perished during the Mourning ~~while involved with the first aether font~~. ~~Her sacrifice and the events surrounding~~ her death ~~remain central to the hidden truths the clan seeks to uncover. Though gone~~, ~~her memory continues to shape House Corvayne’s path~~ and ~~the questions that drive Aelira’s journey. This~~ archive ~~entry records what is publicly known and what has been preserved within the family~~.		Elara Corvayne was a member of [[House Corvayne]] and the primary figure responsible for the clan's operational continuity in the years before the [[The Mourning\|Mourning]]. She perished during the Mourning. The circumstances of her death have not been formally documented, and no official account from any coalition archive addresses them directly.

	~~'''Elara~~ Corvayne~~''' was a respected member of House~~ Corvayne and ~~mother of Aelira and Myrra. She died during the catastrophic events of the Mourning while entering the chamber of~~ the ~~first aether font~~.		She is survived by her daughters [[Aelira Corvayne]] and [[Myrra Corvayne]], and her husband [[Eldrin Corvayne]], whose subsequent departure from the clan is noted in what records exist.

	== Known ~~History~~ ==		== What Is Known ==
	----		----
	Elara was ~~known for her warmth~~, ~~intelligence~~, and ~~deep connection to both family and the study of aether. She accompanied~~ the clan during a ~~critical~~ period when the ~~first font’s instability became apparent~~. ~~Official records~~ describe her ~~death~~ as ~~an accident during the cataclysm. Family accounts and the hemotech record fragment recovered in Brassveil Port suggest a more complex~~ and ~~deliberate role~~.		Elara Corvayne's role within House Corvayne was practical and substantial. She managed the clan's contracted work arrangements, maintained relationships with the coalition contacts on whom nomadic operations depend, and by most accounts kept the clan's internal structure functional during a period when the continent's stability was not. Accounts from individuals who worked with the clan before the Mourning describe her as precise, quietly authoritative, and unusually effective at navigating arrangements that required trust from multiple parties simultaneously.

	== ~~Impact on Family~~ ==		She was operating in the Starcrag region at the time of the Mourning. She did not return from it.

			== What Is Not Known ==
	----		----
	~~Her loss profoundly affected her daughters~~ and ~~husband~~. ~~Aelira carries~~ the ~~weight of survivor’s guilt~~ and ~~rarely speaks of~~ the ~~event~~. ~~Myrra remains emotionally impacted, often expressing fear that digging into~~ the ~~past will endanger what remains of~~ the ~~family~~. ~~Eldrin’s departure and ongoing quest are directly tied to uncovering the truth behind Elara’s death~~.		The specific circumstances of Elara Corvayne's death have not been established in any accessible record. No coalition archive contains a formal account. No expedition report from the Mourning period covers the area and timeframe in sufficient detail to address it. The [[Duskcrag Concord]]'s sealed Mourning-period records may contain relevant documentation — the Starcrag region falls within Concord territory — but the Concord has not released those records and has not confirmed whether they address the matter.

			Several researchers who have attempted to reconstruct a timeline of Mourning-period events in the Starcrag region have noted gaps in the documentation that are consistent with records that were removed rather than records that were never created. This is noted here as a documented observation, not an accusation.

	== Legacy ==		== Legacy ==
	----		----
	~~Elara’s memory serves as both anchor and driving force for~~ House Corvayne. ~~The wind chimes Aelira carves~~ in ~~private moments echo tones her mother loved. The questions surrounding her final actions continue to pull~~ the ~~clan toward dangerous truths and potential revelations about~~ the Mourning and ~~the hidden nobility~~.		Elara Corvayne is not widely known outside the circles in which House Corvayne operates. Within those circles — the contracted guide networks, the Duskcrag expedition community, the independent operators who move through the Starcrag Ranges — she is remembered with the particular regard reserved for people whose absence made things measurably harder.

			What she was doing in the Starcrag region at the time of the Mourning, and why, has not been explained by anyone with direct knowledge of it.

'''Elara Velythar''' is the historical ancestor of House Velythar and the wife of Torren Velythar. She died during the Battle of Leeth, the conflict in which the first aether font was destroyed, resulting in the creation of the Wastes. Her sacrifice is the central mystery that has driven the clan for centuries.

Elara was present at Leeth Citadel, the massive structure built around the first aether font in the southern region then known as the Verdant Cradle. During the battle she took a critical role in the defense or attempted stabilization of the font. The exact circumstances of her death and the mechanisms that led to the font’s destruction remain unknown to the public record and even to most members of the clan. Only fragments of eyewitness accounts and recovered relics exist in the clan’s private archive.

== Historical Significance ==

Elara’s death marks the decisive moment of the Pre-Mourning Cataclysm. The destruction of the first aether font during the battle transformed the fertile southern cradle into the desolate Wastes and fundamentally altered the distribution of aether across Aeloria. The primal spark, the only unexplainable element in Calythera, is tied directly to this event and passed to the Velythar line following her sacrifice.

House Velythar has preserved her memory through a private archive of every known account, relic fragment, and cross-referenced detail related to the Battle of Leeth. The clan’s long-term objective — discovering the true cause of her death and the mystery of the primal spark — stems directly from Elara’s fate.

== Role in the Battle of Leeth ==

Elara was at the heart of the conflict at Leeth Citadel. While the public record describes only a large-scale battle between rival factions for control of the font, the clan’s internal accounts suggest she was attempting to stabilize or protect the font during the final hours of the fighting. Torren Velythar, her husband and titled Bulwark of Leeth, held a defensive position protecting key areas with a steam-blade while Elara worked closer to the font itself.

The precise sequence of events that led to the font’s catastrophic failure and Elara’s death has never been fully reconstructed. The clan continues to search for additional relics and records that might clarify what occurred in those final moments.

== Legacy ==

Elara Velythar is remembered within the clan not only as a lost family member but as the catalyst for their centuries-long quest. Her sacrifice is treated with solemn respect and serves as the moral and practical anchor for the clan’s independence and relentless pursuit of answers. Every generation of Velythar leaders, including Selira, has renewed the vow to uncover the truth behind her death and the origin of the primal spark.

The clan’s private archive contains a dedicated section for Elara’s known possessions, correspondence fragments, and any recovered hemotech devices associated with her. These items are studied with meticulous care, as even the smallest detail might provide a new clue.

Elara Velythar remains the guiding figure of House Velythar. Her death in the Battle of Leeth created the central mystery that defines the clan’s existence and continues to shape their movements, relic hunts, and interactions across generations.
