Kirapryna Orimeiv

"The edge of the sea is a strange and beautiful place. All through the long history of the world it has been an area of unrest where waves have broken heavily against the land, where the tides have pressed forward over the continents, receded and then returned. For no two successive days is the shore line precisely the same. Always the edge of the sea remains an elusive and indefinable boundary."

At a Glance
Kirapryna Orimeiv, or shortened "Kira", was a famous Eladrin cartographer and biologist who traveled extensively in her lifetime, visiting The Elemental Eyrie, The Wanderwastes, and the seas surrounding The Black Depths when she was still a teenager. By her first century, she had created the Tabula Mortalitus, a detailed map of the mortal plane which was quickly adopted by airship pilots, naval captains, and adventurers. In addition to the map, she included an exhaustive account of geographical features and shared a familial correspondence with Al'Jibran, a scholar of ethnic groups and social/religious cultures who lived in Kathlon City.

Becoming widely known in the Age of Adventure, Kirapryna's brain and beauty began to affect her ability to travel. Towns and Kingdoms would flock to her and constantly interrupt her studies, leading her to adopt several pseudonyms and pen names. At worst some radical groups and disgruntled suitors, offended by her intellect or premise of a beautiful young woman travelling alone, attempted to kidnap or murder her, forcing Kirapryna to recruit adventurers when travelling through particularly "backwards" regions as she called them.

Kirapryna's background in cartography would lead her to become an aquatic biologist, becoming deeply interested in accounts of a sunken landmass located in The Black Depths. Regarded as heretical by her peers for this belief (it was believed that the Black Depths were a dead ocean) Kirapryna's stardom in the scientific community fell drastically after her claims -- until the sudden appearance of the Wilden and the rumours of their kingdom of Nazjashar.

Age of Adventure
Kirapryna's contributions to the world during the Age of Adventure have been vast. She has:
 * Created the Tabula Mortalitus, a detailed map of the mortal plane which was adopted by airship pilots, naval captains, and adventurers.
 * Dispelled the legendary Isle of Demons off the coast of Bastion as nothing more than a rumour.
 * Proposed the Minerai Eruption theory, claiming that a major volcanic eruption occuredd in the mortal plane's second millennium and sunk an ancient landmass overnight. This theory combined the accounts of a tidal wave in Tel'Quessir, a volcanic winter in The Wanderwastes, and earthquakes as far reaching as Central Dominaria.
 * Predicted the appearance of the Wilden.
