Biography

In Shyrax’s Youth

In her youth, Shyrax wanted to run away and become a wandering Combat Artist.

Rule and Conviction

Since the abdication of her mother, Shyrax the Second, Queen Shyrax ruled over Karosha for nine years. In the previous year before the events of The Engineer, Queen Shyrax was convicted of treachery by the Dragon Court for unknown reasons and was exiled. The throne was temporarily claimed by her cousin, King Regent Felrex . Before her conviction, Shyrax’s mother had urged her to give up the throne to Felrex, but Shyrax strongly disagreed, and threw her mother out of the room.

As the Exiled Karoshan Queen

In the eight months since her exile, Queen Shyrax has taken to recruiting still loyal Karoshans from colonies and building up a fleet while avoiding the Perfected. It is around this time when she receives a prompt to compete for The Last Horizon, which she accepts. Shyrax beats every opponent in their specialty and makes it to the end of the competition, but isn’t accepted. Instead, she is told to wait for further contact, and Shyrax choses to wait, confident that she would be picked. By the end of the events of The Captain, Shyrax has found the location of and contacted The Last Horizon and challenged Horizon for the position of Captain.

In Varic's Alternative Life

In her alternative life, Shyrax offered Varic a position in her royal guard as a magical advisor. Varic also had a role in educating her children. The alternative Shyrax had stayed in power for years longer before the Perfected soldiers came for her. Shyrax had trusted Varic’s curse magic to deal with the Perfected, but he ultimately failed and was killed by Alazar the Perfected Mage.

Family and Relatives

Shyrax has multiple consorts and nine children, six of which are public. Her known family includes: one of her husbands the Prince Consort Tellex, and the twins Prince Rellask and Princess Nasharia.

Magic

Queen Shyrax’s magic evokes the majesty of solar dragons, the draconic predecessors of Karoshans. Quick and simple spells can conjure body parts and suggestions of a dragon in a golden light, such as a claw of a dragon for attacks or a wing for protection. With a longer incantation, the power of dragons grows stronger, until a dragon seemingly made of plasma is conjured. Spells release an intense heat.

Combat Art

Queen Shyrax is a ninth-generation master of the Imperial Execution Style Combat Art, which is operated on the principle of self-empowerment. She uses a force blade that emits with golden brilliance.

Guidance

Queen Shyrax is a journeyman Aether Technician and is yet to complete her masterwork. Her Guidance is “t’rshentha”, which can be translated as efficiency, enhancement, or overclocking. With her gift, Shyrax can improve the performance of existing Aethertech.
