Briallyn

The Dread Trove · Mortal Queen · Koschei's Pawn

Briallyn

Bargained with Hybern. The Cauldron kept the change.

Sat at the table with the mortal queens, sold her own kind for immortality, and the Cauldron handed back age instead of youth — withered, brittle, and on a leash. Koschei's hand on Prythian, the Crown of the Dread Trove on her brow, other people's minds in her grip. Devil's bargain. She read the small print wrong.

At a glance

Was
One of the mortal queens who allied with Hybern
Now
Made by the Cauldron — old, withered, frail of body
Wields
The Crown — bends minds to the wearer's will
Hunts
The Dread Trove — the Mask and the Harp
Bound to
Koschei, the deathless death-lord, as his agent
Fate
Killed in A Court of Silver Flames
