Mental characteristics
Personal history
Vaeyra was born into a revered threadweaving family and took up memorycraft early. Her ritual sashes could store full life stories in single glyphs. She presided over peace-weavings between rival provinces, personally hand-binding over 500 unification accords. When the Weave began to fail, she spearheaded the Threadsend Rituals, calling diaspora clans to remembrance instead of war.
Gender Identity
Cisgender woman with reverence for the Bridger role, embodying unity and duality in Thalrani culture.
Sexuality
Pansexual. Known to have shared romantic and magical bonds with multiple partners of all genders, both emotional and procreative. She was open about these unions and rejected exclusivity as “a binding too tight to allow breath.”
Education
Apprenticed under Loraen the Threadseer, and later trained at the Loom of Accord, the sacred temple under the Unweaving Spire.
Employment
High Memorykeeper of Elun’thar; later the last Living Loreholder of Myriath.

- Invented Embroideric Spellcraft, a discipline combining memory magic with loomwork.

- Her death birthed Kaelen of the First Cry, the symbol of hope during the world’s unraveling.
