Lyhr is a member of the Wizard's Court. A dwarf from Deldrimor, he commands the Bastion of Balance, and has the unique ability to split himself into two halves, dubbed the Facet of Emotion and the Facet of Logic. Each half has a different appearance and personality.
When in The Wizard's Tower, Lyhr can be found at the Forge of Timelessness selling various items and recipes.
Biography[edit]
Early years[edit]
Lyhr lived in the Southern Shiverpeak Mountains roughly 250 years ago, having fought in the Deldrimor civil war with the Stone Summit, the conflict with the White Mantle and mursaat, and faced the rise of the destroyers. After experiencing a deep, personal trauma involving someone known as Rand, he was recruited by Mabon and voluntarily forget much of his past, including Rand. He ascended to become a member of the Wizard's Court before the Transformation of the Dwarves affected him, allowing him to keep his original, fleshy body.
As a wizard, he took over the Bastion of Balance, and oversaw debate halls in the wizards' levitating home of Amnytas. Lyhr himself would often split into two halves to debate himself, his Facet of Emotion arguing against his Facet of Logic.

The Midnight King[edit]
During the civil war in Nayos, Lyhr remained neutral among the wizards and did not personally assist in the conflict. During the conflict, he even advised against Dagda joining in due to the strain battling Nourys took on her. After Eparch's death, he joined in the celebrations taking place in the Wizard's Tower to celebrate the peace between the Kryptis and the Astral Ward, as well as grumble over the future politics he had no doubt he'd be dragged into.[1]
Janthir Wilds[edit]
Lyhr was chosen to be Isgarren's stand-in for the Tyrian Alliance proceedings after Isgarren and Frode had introduced the Astral Ward in the Tyrian Alliance's inaugural meeting. He participated in talks about the quarantine and cleanup of Rata Primus in Dajkah when Chief Councilor Imann and the Olmakhan were hoping to rally Arcane Council support to the project with Councillor Ludo's help. In a letter to Isgarren, Lyhr suggested that the ward offer additional support in the project to contain whatever might be left in the ruins. He also used the opportunity to remind Isgarren that the latter should not solely focus on Countess Anise as there were others worthy of the wizards' time and attention as well.[2]

Dialogue[edit]
The Wizard's Tower[edit]
- Here for a bit of crafting?
- What do I need to do to craft Obsidian armor?
- Obsidian armor requires a lot of components from both the Horn of Maguuma and Tyria. And I can help you forge some of these items. For a little donation, of course!
- Sounds good. Can you show me what's required? (Opens achievement panel to A Legendary Path: Astral Gifts.)
- Thanks for the tip.
- Yes, can I use your forge?
- Of course! Use the forge or any other stations! If anything is beyond your capabilities, I can help you make it. I can also teach you some recipes, when you're ready.
- I'd like to learn some recipes.
- Could you help me with some crafting?
- No, thanks.
- (Before beginning The Waylit Lantern)
- Actually, I'm here about the mail you sent me.
- Lyhr: A ward scout spotted a relic of mine in Kryptis hands. I...I need it back.
- It's more sentimental than anything. An effect I kept from before my ascension.
- It's all right, Lyhr. I'll help get it back.
- Find me in Amnytas, and help me clean up the Bastion of Balance.
- I'll meet you there.
- (After speaking with Riley Waylit)
- Your lantern belongs to a dwarf of the Waylit family. Rand.
- How... Are...are you sure?
- I met his cousin; sounds like he's looking for you, and now probably me.
- It's... You know when the first sunbeam breaks at dawn, and its warmth feels unreal at first? That's what this name is to me.
- Somehow, I knew I'd hear it again. Rand Waylit...
- So, that's how it turns on. What a calming blue.
- Probably better if you take the lantern, for now, Wayfinder. If Rand is looking for us, you're easier to find.
- (If the second objective A New Look is active)
- I need something to help Dyanne with the skyscales.
- Could you help me with some crafting?
- No, thanks.
Skywatch Archipelago[edit]
- Droknar's Light during Island Discovery Tour
- Droknar's Forge. This was...my home before I joined the wizards. Don't embarrass me, all right?
- This fractal was made to see what would have happened if we lost to the Stone Summit. An awful outcome, I assure you.
- These dwarves might be a bit less rocky than you're used to. But they're still real, and they can still use your help.
- Drokar's Light outside of [Group Event] Purge Lyhr's corruption (80)
- You're not half bad at this, you know. Now, what do you need?
- So this is your original home?
- Lyhr: Aye, although not this simulated one we're in now. Not that I can remember much of it, either way. Images. Some smells.
- Lyhr: Mabon told me a few things about my old life over the years; things that were safe to know. So it seems vaguely familiar.
- Lyhr: I think I liked it here. I can see why I would have. Ah, but this is no time for wistfulness. There's a war to fight.
- Why did they choose to create this particular fractal?
- Lyhr: What they told me was that they wanted to see what would happen if the Stone Summit had won the war.
- Lyhr: But I'll admit, standing here, that doesn't entirely add up. The war isn't over yet, see? So why this moment exactly?
- Lyhr: I'd never be able to get a straight answer out of Isgarren about it, even if he weren't out of his mind right now.
- What's it like having your personality split in two?
- Lyhr: Ah, it's not as different as you might think. Like a conversation you have in your own head, just...louder.
- Lyhr: And—let's face it—sometimes it's nice to have a break from some of your own thoughts.
- Lyhr: Plus, every now and then we get to do twice the thinking we normally would. A thing like that can come in handy.
- Nothing right now.
