Shan Pyrial

The kindly and joyful archfey of Pylas Pyrial, the Shan (an honorific title) leads the Gate of Joy into a brighter future. She is ageless enough, and a being more of stories than of physical limitations, and the story she tells is one of hope and light.
Although her influence is highly limited to the tower of Pylas Pyrial, she opens it as a home for all seeking comfort and joy. Normally, the tower only stays in a place for a single day and night, but after the Mourning it has been stuck in a forest glade in Zilargo. This has led to myriad issues of course, ranging from greedy pillagers to tides of the desperate seeking the tower. But, it is said that Shan Pyrial welcomes all who approach in good faith.

History

The stories they tell of her past and future vary greatly, but the most common variants talk of the Prince of Frost.
When the Prince of Summer was betrayed by his lover, his heart froze and he became the Prince of Frost. So bitter was he that he tore the sun from the sky, swearing that there should be no light in the vale while there was no light in his heart. None of the lords of the court challenged him. Some remained silent out of fear, but most found that they preferred to live in moonlight, and so the Moon Court found its name.
But there was a gnome who loved to dance under the sun and sought a respite from the somber shadows. She went to the Prince’s palace of frozen tears, and found the doors frozen shut. She sang a happy song, and caught the notes as they rose to the sky, carrying her to the highest tower. The prince’s servants barred her path, but the gnome danced with them and melted their frozen hearts. She found the prince on his glittering throne, and begged for him to return the sun.
The Prince challenged the gnome to dance for him, to maintain her high spirits while he spoke of every tragedy of the past and of those yet to come. The Prince was certain her heart would freeze as his had, but the gnome held fast to her hope and her light. At last the Prince relented, telling her: You shall be the Prince of Joy, keeper of the summer sun. But you must keep it within your own tower until all of the lords of the Moon Court ask for its return. And you must keep joy bright in your heart, for if it ever fades, the sun will fade with it.
And so, Shan Pyrial took the vale's sun from the Prince, and built a great tower to house and protect it. Calling it a place for all, she surrounded herself with people and things that brought joy to her, for the strongest source of happiness is seeing it in the faces of loved ones. The tower, the Gate of Joy, sails between Eberron and Thelanis, and they say that when Rhaan is full, the Gate of Joy may appear, bringing a night of respite and happiness.
