[edit] Jolrael

Empress of Beasts. A great but enigmatic and fickle female Zhalfirin mage with great empathy for animals who turned her back to society. For centuries she remained isolated in a series of palaces, erected in her name in the heart of the Mwonvuli Jungle’s delta, to build her own empire of beasts. Her influence spread through the animal kingdom and beyond to the sentient lizard people, the Viashino, and through them to the mighty dragons. Jolrael witnessed with Mangara and Kaervek the aftermath of the phasing out of Teferi’s Isle. Playing on Jolrael’s fears and her inability to understand the ambitions of humans Kaervek convinced her that Mangara was a threat. Slowly as Mangara’s rule took shape, Kaervek was able to draw the reclusive Jolrael into the politics of the region. In time, the two mages built covert armies of animals and spirits throughout Jamuura. As the war continued Jolrael questioned the wisdom of her alliance with Kaervek. Kaervek seemed bent on exterminating all three nations. He used Jolrael’s palaces and creatures as if they were his own, and legions of evil spirits roamed the lands at his behest. This was why she had secretly tried to release Mangara but had been stopped by the wards Kaervek had set, a clear sign of his distrust. It was only a matter of time before Kaervek discovered her attempt, so she had to find help. Searching the lands in spirit form, Jolrael discovered an energy signature from the isle that had first drawn Mangara and Kaervek to Jamuura. It was the ancient Zhalfirin royal mage Teferi, a planeswalker powerful enough to crush Kaervek. She magically transported her physical self to the isle, confessed her part in Kaervek’s invasion, and begged for help. After the destruction of Tefemburu, Kaervek and his remaining allies set sail to confront Teferi. During the battle, Jolrael turned upon Kaervek, severely injuring him in a heated arcane battle. Teferi destroyed Kaervek’s fleet with a colossal wave, but one of Teferi’s drakes was able to grab the unconsciousness Jolrael from the wreckage. She returned to the Mwonvuli, her only company her animals and the occasional visit from Teferi. (Mirage)
