History Characters / DrowtalesValKyorlSolenurn

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:In Chapter 42, she is confronted by Khaless masquerading as Kiel'ndia, who asks why a skilled {{Seer}} like her didn't flee her imminent assassination. She responds that the figure would have killed her sooner or later anyways no matter what she did, as well as every witness to the deed, and asks the assassin to do as its masters command. It is implied that she knew Chiri would see this, and left her [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9291 a final message]]]].

* {{Seer}}: And it's implied that this is how she knew Chrys'tel was looking for Valerian tea to help her sleep.

* OdangoHair: Sports ''four'' of these.

* SilkHidingSteel: Anahid is cheerful, gracious, compassionate, demure and proper. [[spoiler: She's also an incredibly powerful empath and Seer who can read people's sins, will not hesitate to undermine and decimate those who oppose her, and rejects Snadhya'rune's offers of negotiation.]]

* HairDecorations: She frequently wore a long silver pin in her hair.

* WomanInWhite: Even among the other Kyorl, who all wear white to some degree, she's completely decked in white, and her skin is even paler than a normal drowussu. [[spoiler:After she becomes Ill'haress, she starts wearing bits of black in her outfit]].

* WomanInWhite

* WomanInWhite: Much like Anahid, she dresses entirely in white. About the only colour on her is her hair and green eyes.

* GrayEyes

* GrayEyes

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Her forgiving and compassionate nature gains her a lot of supporters, especially when [[spoiler: [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments she forgave a Warden for being tainted and prevented others from making her commit suicide]]]]. Many Kyorl, who regretted their participation in [[spoiler:the genocide of Dutan'vir-descended survivors and the killing of commoners to make way for the construction of a fortress wall]] joined Anahid's side because 1) she allowed them to question the orders they were given and decide for themselves, which was unheard of in a Holy Mother, and 2) they were able to achieve personal closure with their actions by receiving forgiveness.

* FragileFlower: Terrified of going down to the dungeons with Merril'lin to help save [[spoiler: Petri'cho]].

* FragileFlower: Fell into an alcohol and chocolate fueled depression after her sister's "death".

* FragileFlower: Because of (implied) overuse of her empathy, she is frequently in emotional shock, and heavily relies on her fellow Kyorl, especially Ano'toti, for support and protection.

* KickTheDog: :In Chapter 49, [[spoiler:she ends up tainting several Kyorl with nether energy while covering for Kousei's escape. Considering the Kyorl's views on tainted people, this probably led to many committing suicide. One of those tainted during the confrontation [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10987 crashed Anahid's gathering]] looking for someone to [[ICannotSelfTerminate give her salvation]].]]

* OffWithHisHead:How she executes [[spoiler:Senekha]] in Chapter 13.

* ICannotSelfTerminate: [[spoiler: She couldn't bring herself to do the deed after being tainted at the hands of Ky'ovarde, so she crashed Anahid's gathering to attack her in a bid to get someone to [[MercyKill grant her salvation]], even begging Chirinide to do it for her.

* ForeseeingMyDeath: [[spoiler:[[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9289 Sort of]], since it actually turns out to be Shimi'lande that dies, while Chiri sees herself in the vision.

* Foil: [[spoiler:To Anahid, Shimi'lande's chosen succssor as Ill'haress. To wit:]]

** [[spoiler:Their differences are reflected by their black/white clothes; Valla'drielle sees everything in BlackAndWhiteMorality, while Anahid gains the confidence and wisdom to rule her clan without losing her virtues.

* WomanInWhite: Much like Anahid, she dresses entirely in white. About the only colour on her is her hair and [[GreenEyes eyes]].

* GreenEyes

** Even worse is [[spoiler:their hatred of Vloz'Ress and other demon summoners; the Judicators and their bodyguards secretly mastered demon summoning, [[SnobsVsSlobs and seek to turn the practice into an elite privilege that lesser Drow are unworthy of experimenting]].]]

Return to the main character index [[{{Characters/Drowtales}} here]]. A * next to a character's name indicates that they are a reader-sponsored cameo.

* GenderIsNoObject: Compared to their drowolath cousins the Kyorl seem to have a more even gender ratio among the higher ranks, with male Judicators perhaps even outnumbering the female ones. [[spoiler:Justified as their ancestors, the Light Elves, originally had a patriarchal culture.]]
** In Chapter 49, it is revealed that male Kyorl ''can'' become Wardens and Inquisitors (if Setheryll is to go by). The same thing goes for female Kyorl who become Templars and Holy Lances.

* PuppetQueen: The Drowussu have a patriarchal culture, but are surrounded and outnumbered by the Drowlath, who are matriarchal. In order to have leaders who can maintain their respect, they use females as figureheads. [[spoiler:In Chapter 49 Valla'drielle attempts to avert this by making a deal with the Nidraa'chal to kill off the Judicators who appointed her, so she can rule without outside interference. This fails when the Nidraa'chal double-cross her by also backing Anahid, allowing her to claim position as Ill'haress.]].

* BlindSeer: She's not actually blind, but needs a blindfold on her eyes at all times to augment her empathy.
* TheEmpath: A given since she's an Inqusitor. She empowers Ano'Toti by giving him the courage to fight Afae Vloz'ress.

* IllGirl:Constant use of her empathy leaves her suffering from emotional shock. Cute animals such as tikk'tikkis seems to effectively calm her down.

* ChildSoldier

[[folder: The Clan as a whole]]
The Kyorl'solenurn were one of two Drowussu clans making up the Council of Nine until the Val'Dutan'vir fell and were replaced with the Vel'Vloz'ress. Although both clans were made up of the drowussu minority, there was mutual enmity between the two based on each clan's respective ideology. The Dutan'vir saw their place as beside the drowolath (indeed many members were {{Nonhuman Humanoid Hybrid}}s) whereas the Kyorl'solenurn desired separation from the drowolath and saw themselves as on a mission from Sharess to keep their cousins ''pure''. The Kyorl'solenurn were the younger of the two drowussu houses and unlike most other Chelians, they continue to practice the Sharess religion and claim to carry out their "purges" on her behalf. Unlike other Chelian clans, the Kyorl'solenurn divide themselves into religious orders rather than by sub-houses. There are seven orders in total, of which six have been named in the main comic. Each order is run by a Judicator ([[spoiler:many if not most of whom are really Light Elves, but this fact is unknown to most Kyorl'solenurn]]), whose deputy is known as an Inquisitor; the latter are highly trained empaths who provide "cleansing" for drow who associate with tainted individuals. Individual members of the clan are further sorted by roles, males are either "templars", "holy lances", "crusaders" or "blades", while females are either "wardens", "seers", or "inquisitors" (though as of recent chapters it is revealed there are exceptions to the rule).

!!The Clan as a whole

The Ill'haress of the Kyorl, Shimi'lande is relatively new to the position. Whilst not being particularly strong or tall she is noted for her ability to lead the clan and maintain the peace between opposing factions among the Kyorl'solenurn.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:In Chapter 42, she is confronted by Khaless Kiel'ndia, who asks why a skilled {{Seer}} like her didn't flee her imminent assassination.

* {{Seers}}: She is one of the Kyorl'solenurn's seers. Unlike Chirinide, even though this exposes her to a lot of suffering, it doesn't seem to affect her perpetually cheery mood much. She is really TheEmpath, and her empathy is stated by WordOfGod to be a rare and often misinterpreted form that allows her to experience the senses and future plans of other fae as if they were her own.

* ChekhovsGunman: In Chapter 7 he was one of two minor Templars who accompanied a young Chirinide and went after Chrys'tel's tainted friends on their Warden's orders. By Chapter 49 he [[spoiler:participated in the slaughter of Dutan'vir survivors (though he deeply regretted it later), and protected Anahid from being killed by a fanatical Kyorl.]]

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[spoiler:In Chapter 49 he protects Anahid from a [[TheFundamentalist fanatic]] [[KnightTemplar Kyorl]], he protected her saying he'd rather be branded a heretic than let an innocent die for simply having different beliefs.]]

* TheFundamentalist: Even among the Kyorl she is very fanatical. [[spoiler:Her fanaticism drove her to try kill Anahid in Chapter 49]].

* ManOnFire: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Chirinide, after her failed attack on Anahid. Word is up on whether she survives this trope or not]].

* MaliciousSlander: She says bad things about Chirinide to anyone who will listen. [[spoiler:Including Valla'drielle.]]

* BrokenBase: {{In-universe}}, the Kyorl are deeply divided on the subject of racial purity and how to treat their Drowolath cousins. Chapter 42, appropriately titled "Schism", is when this brokenness comes to a head.

* MisBlamed: {{In-universe}}, Zala'ess blames her for the original Vy'chriel's refusal to get tainted, but Yakuise says she had nothing to do with it.

* BigDamnKiss: With Chiri'nde in Chapter 49. Anahid approves.

* CruelMercy: [[spoiler:Is subjected to this in Chapter 49 by Minka, one of the surviving Dutan'vir whose friends died in the Kyorl's attempted genocide of his people, and was rescued from the pyre by Chiri'nde's actions and the ''peaceful'' Kyorl protest led by Anahid. When he's got her in a NeckLift and pinned to the wall, rather than take righteous vengeance, he echoes Anahid's words and sermon, and drops her to go crawl away and fade in ignominy. In return, she throws away any sympathy/brownie points she earned for her actions just two pages previously by spitting FantasticRacism at him.]]

* BecauseDestinySaisSo: [[spoiler:In the ([[LooseCanon debatably canon]]) sidestory "Rebirth", she pressured her daughter, the original Chirinide, to become a warden because that is what Sharess decreed she do in order for the clan's mission of purifying the drow race to be fulfilled. Naturally, Chirinide's willingness to ScrewDestiny gets herself killed, though it did give Shimi'lande in the form of another daughter, Mrid'harini.]]

* BecauseDestinySaidSo: [[spoiler:In the ([[LooseCanon debatably canon]]) sidestory "Rebirth", she pressured her daughter, the original Chirinide, to become a warden because that is what Sharess decreed she do in order for the clan's mission of purifying the drow race to be fulfilled.

The Kyorl'solenurn were one of two Drowussu clans making up the Council of Nine until the Val'Dutan'vir fell and were replaced with the Vel'Vloz'ress. Although both clans were made up of the drowussu minority there was mutual enmity between the two based on each clan's respective ideology. The Dutan'vir saw their place as beside the drowolath (indeed many members were {{Nonhuman Humanoid Hybrid}}s) whereas the Kyorl'solenurn desired separation from the drowolath and saw themselves as on a mission from Sharess to keep their cousins ''pure''. The Kyorl'solenurn were the younger of the two drowussu houses and unlike most other Chelians they continue to practice the Sharess religion and claim to carry out their "purges" on her behalf. Unlike other Chelian clans, the Kyorl'solenurn divide themselves into religious orders rather than by sub-houses. There are seven orders in total, of which six have been named in the main comic. Each order is run by a Judicator ([[spoiler:many if not most of whom are really Light Elves, but this fact is unknown to most Kyorl'solenurn]]), whose deputy is known as an Inquisitor; the latter are highly trained empaths who provide "cleansing" for drow who associate with tainted individuals. Individual members of the clan are further sorted by roles, males are either "templars", "holy lances", "crusaders" or "blades", while females are either "wardens", "seers", or "inquisitors" (though as of recent chapters it is revealed there are exceptions to the rule).

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: This is essentially the Kyorl philosophy, with you either being with them or against them with very little in between. Probably not coincidentally the Kyorl clan colors are black and white.

* ColorMotif: Every Kyorl is decked in white, to some degree. Aside from white being a color of purity (obviously), it also symbolizes death both literally (killing the heretical and the tainted) and figuratively ([[spoiler:creating an internal schism that ultimately led to the "death" of old traditions and becoming more tolerant and peaceful under Anahid, the new Holy Mother]]).
* TheCoup: [[spoiler:One of these is launched in chapter 42 by at least 5 of the Judicators, lead by Kyuusei and in some way controlled by the Nidraa'chal.]]

* DarkSecret: [[spoiler:many, if not most, of the Judicators are really Light Elves, and this is why they cover themselves in public. It seems only a few Kyorl know the truth about their heritage]].
* DeathEqualsRedemption: Death is seen by the Kyorl as the honorable way to go if you're tainted, as basically you're DefiledForever at that point. [[DriventoSuicide Suicide]] is even strongly encouraged for those tainted who are too afraid to [[MercyKill be put down by their peers]].

* FantasticRacism: Towards light elves and half-bloods, though they have accepted a few of the latter into their ranks such as Sang'oro. [[spoiler:This is despite being the descendants of light elves and first-generation drow, making them half-bloods themselves.]] They also ''really'' hate anyone with Dutan'vir blood though they tolerate them enough to have several in their ranks [[spoiler:until Chapter 42 where a purge was attempted to kill all Kyorl with Dutan'vir blood including one of the Judicators]].

* GenocideBackfire: [[spoiler:Their attempted purge of those Kyorl of Dutan'vir blood in chapter 42 appears to be heading in this direction for them.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Judicators had a deal with the Sharen clan to [[spoiler:assassinate their {{Puppet Queen}}s whenever they started becoming too independent. They eventually made this request of Snadhya'rune of the Nidraa'chal and end up getting double crossed when she starts assassinating them as well]]. Whoops.

* MotiveDecay: As told by Judicator Lioshi in Chapter 15, [[spoiler:the original purpose of the Kyorl'solenurn was to protect and guide Sharess' people (the dark elves) and their drowlath descendants until a new Empress ascends to the throne and they can return to the surface. Unfortunately, time, old hostilities, and the emergence of demons has caused them to change into an overly militarized clan of [[KnightTemplar religious fanatics]] who believe that Sharess' decree was to purge people of all their sins and eliminate anyone who stray from this path]].

* SuccessionCrisis: The Kyorl are the only known clan who periodically change their Ill'haress, with the previous Holy Mother choosing her successor. Shimi'lande was the tenth such Holy Mother, [[spoiler:and when the Judicators attempt to appoint Valla'drielle rather than Shimi'lande's chosen successor, tensions start to boil over in regards to this break of tradition. The assembled Seers manage to calm the crowd, but as the clan continues to schism, those suspicious of the true circumstances behind Shimi'lande's murder attempt to use the chosen successor Anahid anyway, and eventually are victorious.]]
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: In Chapter 42, all of the Kyorl are forced to decide whether to protect their comrades, obey Shimi'lande's [[spoiler:legacy]], or maintain unity and order.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* FaceDeathWithDignity: In Chapter 42, [[spoiler:she is confronted by a sinister figure vaguely resembling Kiel'ndia, who asks why a skilled {{Seer}} like her didn't flee her imminent assassination. She responds that the figure would have killed her sooner or later anyways no matter what she did, as well as every witness to the deed, and asks the assassin to do as its masters command. It is implied that she knew Chiri would see this, and left her [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9291 a final message]]]].
* FacialMarkings: Has the nine-eyed Sharess symbol on her forehead.

* MamaBear: Though she never had any children of her own, she's this to her adoptive children, in fact, [[spoiler:Vy'Chriel was counting on this reaction to kick off a fight between the Vloz'ress and the Kyorl, which is why she gave Kharla [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=631 a Kyorl to dollify]].]]

* [[{{Seers}} Seer]]: Of a sort. She can see both the past and future, but as stated by WordOfGod, it's actually a rare form of empathy that experiences the senses and future plans of other fae.
* ThanatosGambit: [[spoiler:She left behind a set of missives she ordered sent to the Sarghress, Sullisin'rune, and Belddrobbaen clans, just before she was murdered. The messages conceded all formerly Dutan'vir land over to the Sarghress-Sullisin'rune alliance and told all three clans the identity of Shimi'lande's planned successor. She also left behind a set of messages for her adopted progeny, leaving them with advice to help them choose their own path in life]].

* BlessedWithSuck: Her ability to see the future and past. The catch is that they're very [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7515 very vivid]] and it's implied she feels what's happening in them as if it was happening to her. After the timeskip she refers these happening to her every night, and the vision that opens Chapter 42 turns out to be [[spoiler:Shimi'lande's death]], which would be traumatic for anyone.

* BrokenPedestal: To the Light Elves, her father's people and her ancestors by blood [[spoiler:on both sides. She expected to feel at home in Vanaheimr, but instead she felt alienated. The pedestal is further broken when she learned that the Light Elves are even more xenophobic and racially segregated than their Kyorl descendants, to the point of trying to kill off fellow Light Elves who were formerly enslaved because of the racial shame of their enslavement by a lesser race such as the Halmes]].

* CharacterDevelopment: Her character arc has been made up of her becoming more tolerant and open to understanding, especially after learning [[spoiler:the truth about the connections bewteen drowussu and light elves]]. After the timeskip, WordOfGod explains that her near-constant visions have shaped her into the person she is now.
* CloseCallHaircut: While [[spoiler:escaping Vanaheimr, she uses her fire powers to fight off a moving tree, and her hair becomes [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1524 much shorter]].]]

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* FacialMarkings: The distinctive mark on her forehead marks her as a clan seer.

* ForeseeingMyDeath: [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=9289 Sort of]], since it actually turns out to be [[spoiler:Shimi'lande]] that dies, while Chiri sees herself in the vision.

* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Chiri's Light Elf father and Drowlath mother died when Shimi'lande's original daughter [who was also named "Chirinide"] attacked them and Chiri tried using fire to defend her family, only for it to backfire and nearly kill her.]]

* PrinciplesZealot: She's even willing to kill herself to keep her "impure" blood from spreading through the clan, though Shimi'lande convinces her that this isn't necessary.

* [[{{Seers}} Seer]]: Of a sort. Pre-{{Retcon}}, she could see both the past and future, but as stated by WordOfGod, in the current continuity this is a misinterpretation of a rare form of empathy that experiences the senses and future plans of other fae.

* ToBeLawfulOrGood: In Chapter 42, the Judicators [[spoiler:replace Shimi'lande with their own choice, instead of Shimi'lande's choice like they were supposed to]]. She decides to support their decision in favor of unity, but shortly after, she [[spoiler:uncovers the message Shimi'lande left her, which advises her to follow her own path]].

* ChekhovsGunman: Introduced as a teacher for the Kyorl in Chapter 10. Reappears in Chapter 42 [[spoiler:where she was appointed Ill'haress over Shimi'lande's chosen successor Anahid.]]

* CruelMercy: At the end of chapter 49, [[spoiler:Is subjected to this by Minka, one of the surviving Dutan'vir who was rescued from the pyre by Chiri'nde's actions and the ''peaceful'' Kyorl protest led by Anahid. When he's got her in a NeckLift and pinned to the wall, rather than take righteous vengeance, he echoes Anahid's words and sermon, and drops her to go crawl away and fade away in ignominy. In return, she throws away any sympathy/brownie points she earned for her actions just two pages previously by spitting FantasticRacism at him.]]

* DisappointedInYou: [[spoiler:In Chapter 49, when Chirinide suggests a way to mend the clan schism by talking with Shimi'lande's chosen successor Anahid, she expresses disappointment that Chirinide isn't as obedient as she once was as a child, and puts her under house arrest.]]
* DueToTheDead: Gives one [[spoiler:to the Kyorl who died when the Dutan'vir destroyed the bridge to their ancestral home and they couldn't get out in time]].

* FakeKing: [[spoiler:While not evil, after becoming Ill'haress she made the clan schism even worse by being an even more rigid KnightTemplar and ordering the deaths of all Dutan'vir-blooded survivors because they are seen threat to the clan's unity. When Chirinide suggests a way to mend the schism, she puts her under house arrest. And recently, in Chapter 49 it's revealed that she secretly made a deal with Snadhya'rune, the Nidraa'chal's Ill'haress, to kill all the Judicators so she can rule her clan without being manipulated from behind the scenes. However, that plan failed when Kousei, a Judicator, survives thanks to the intervention of Kyo'varde, Shan'naal, and Lysire'indis. The schism under her rule gets so bad that after they are attacked by Yuh'le, a Nidraa'chal empath, Chirinide (who at that point knows how much of a threat the Nidraa'chal poses) and her fellow Seers decide enough is enough and tell her to abdicate to make way for Anahid, Shimi'lande's chosen successor and the clan's true Ill'haress. Which she does without struggle.]]

* SecretStabWound: Just before she [[spoiler: abdicates, she reveals that the reason she's holding her stomach and sweating is that she was stabbed in the stomach repeatedly during the "puppeteer incident", and has been hiding it.]]

* DreadfulMusician: As stated by her concept art, she sings terribly.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She is terrified of empaths. Which helps explain her disdain towards Seers, who are empaths in a slightly different fashion.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She decides to follow Anahid [[spoiler:when she is forgiven for being tainted (against her will) instead of being persuaded to commit suicide as is the norm]].
* BreakTheCutie: She was [[spoiler:caught in the crossfire of a power struggle]], through no fault of her own.

* ICannotSelfTerminate: Cannot bring herself to do the deed after [[spoiler:being tainted at the hands of Ky'ovarde]], tearfully begging Chiri to do it for her.

* TechnicolorEyes: Has lavender eyes. At least [[spoiler:before being tainted]].

* WomanInBlack: Her outfit is predominately black, despite white and/or light colors being the norm among Kyorl.

** SilkHidingSteel: By implication, since she's lived as long as she has in the Sharen's basement, essentially the middle of the hornet's nest as far as tainted go. The only thing more [[{{Badass}} badass]] would be living amongst the Vloz'ress.

* HimeCut: Sports one of these.

* HimeCut
