Lira is an elven ranger and is one of the adventurers who joined the expedition to find the legendary Sword of the Godslayer.
Background
Lira's earliest memories are of living on the streets of the walled City of Zephyrus. Though often keeping to herself, she sometimes ran with other children who had also been orphaned by the city's war with its numerous invaders.
Food and shelter were hard to come by for the young urchins. Their daily survival mostly involved petty theft and sneaking into warehouses or disused homes for a few hours of sleep.
This continued until Lira met a wanderer who was visiting the city. The stranger, a fellow elf and a ranger by trade, was surprised at the difficulty she was having in the prosperous city. The ranger pointed out that an easier life could be found in the wilds.
Lira followed the elf without hesitating. After a few months of training, she took up permanent residence in the Wolfswood. She lived comfortably on the land; hunting and camping among the trees. Occasionally, she guided travelers through the difficult terrain of her forest.
After witnessing a portal to the Abyss tear open an edge of her forest, she grew particularly vindictive toward demons and devils. Though she killed the cultists and fiends at the site, she never forgot the hellfire they had caused. Lira questioned clerics and other scholars she met to gain every possible advantage over the creatures of the Abyss
Character Information

The Campaign
Lira was one of the first to heed the Prince of Zephyrus' call for an expedition. After having spent several years away, she returned to the city that had been her first home. There, she met the other adventurers who would eventually become her comrades: Azula, Nicolas and Rob.
