Mirasandra was the eldest daughter of a Cyran politician, who lost everything in the Mourning.

Mirasandra ir’Thavar is the eldest daughter of a Cyran politician. On the Day of Mourning, she was in Taer Valaestas with her father, who was negotiating a treaty with High King Vadallia of the Valenar elves. Word of Cyre’s destruction came quickly, and Mira’s father ordered her to remain in Taer Valaestas while he and his entourage returned to Metrol to assess the damage. She never saw him again. The only other member of her immediate family who survived Cyre’s destruction was her aunt Magdalora, who was visiting Korranberg at the time. Magdalora has since relocated to Sharn, and the two have drifted apart. Magdalora doesn’t share her niece’s thirst for vengeance and believes that Cyrans have no one to blame but themselves—a view Mirasandra considers ludicrous.
