Miyani is known to be the "keeper of the Mystic Forge"[1] and is located in the Trader's Forum next to the Mystic Forge itself, selling mystic items for spirit shards, mystic recipes for coin, and offering information about how to use the forge. She is a refugee who brought the djinn Zommoros with her when she fled from Elona. She survived the attack on Lion's Arch and was temporarily located in the Vigil Keep in Gendarran Fields during the Escape from Lion's Arch and Battle for Lion's Arch, before returning with both Zommoros and the Mystic Forge to Lion's Arch.
Biography[edit]
Early years[edit]
While travelling east from Amnoon, Miyani eventually met with the water djinn Zommoros when she discovered him and three other djinn arguing about which of the four elements was superior in the desert. When Miyani ended the argument by declaring that water was the most useful element to humanity and thus superior to other elements, Zommoros was pleased by the answer and guided her through the Crystal Desert as far as his disposition would allow him. The two eventually left Elona behind together and travelled to Kryta.[2]
Once she and Zommoros had settled into Lion's Arch, Miyani managed business between the Mystic Forge and its customers. Occasionally Zommoros would speak through Miyani, rarely granting audience to anyone else in addition to rarely leaving his domain.[3]
Despite spending much time together with Zommoros, Miyani was never told much about her djinn companion, instead he chose to tell her stories of Elona to ease Miyani's mind about the fate of her people under Palawa Joko's oppressive regime. However, Miyani noticed that Zommoros hid his loneliness under a boastful and arrogant attitude while secretly yearning for companionship, and that he liked having Miyani to talk to.
Living World Season 1[edit]
In 1326 AE, a swarm of unidentified crustacean creatures invaded Lion's Arch. After the initial attack had been thwarted, Lion's Arch started collecting donations to secure their defenses, and ready a counterattack against the karka. Miyani convinced Zommoros to aid the city's efforts by packaging the resources for easy shipping, and even temporarily sold the packing paper needed to do so.[4] During this time, adventurers sought out Miyani for any information about these mysterious new creatures. She let them briefly converse with Zommoros who spoke about ancient times, claiming to remember when the world was emptier and the continents were a different shape, and revealed the identity of the new enemy as the karka. Zommoros suggested that the adventurers seek out other ocean dwellers such as quaggans, hylek, and largos for more information about the karka, refusing to discuss the matter further as he grew bored of the conversation.[5]
In 1327 AE during Scarlet Briar's invasion of Lion's Arch, the Mystic Forge was relocated to the Vigil Keep where Miyani and Zommoros continued providing their services to adventurers. Once Lion's Arch had been reclaimed, the Mystic Forge returned to the city and was temporarily situated in Western Ward.
Living World Season 2[edit]
In 1328 AE Lion's Arch finished its rebuilding, and the Mystic Forge was given a prominent spot in the newly rebuilt mercantile area. Some of the skritt refugees from the destruction of Lion's Arch were attracted to the Forge, and Zommoros gladly added them to his roster of employees.[6]
Path of Fire[edit]
Sometime around 1330 AE, Miyani came across an Elonian human named Sibaha who had entered the Mystic Forge without appointment much to Zommoros's frustration. Sibaha questioned Zommoros on a range of topics relating to skimmers and water that the djinn deemed "tedious scientific nonsense." Zommoros told Sibaha to seek out the quaggans of Moshpoipoi in Frostgorge Sound for more detailed information as quaggans knew more about moving underwater than he did. Miyani asked Zommoros why he'd neglected to mention that Lion's Arch already had quaggans whom Sibaha could have consulted; his reasoning was to get Sibaha as far away from him as possible, and Frostgorge Sound was far enough to his tastes.
Mythwright Gambit[edit]
In 1331 AE, Zommoros appeared outside the Mystic Forge alongside his skritt assistants with experienced showmanship, inviting people for a tour of the Forge to discover its mysteries, to which Miyani cheered to once their performance had ended. However, when asked why would Zommoros invite people into the Mystic Forge, Miyani mentions that Zommoros has been acting more outgoing and suspicious since sending the invitation.
The Key of Ahdashim[edit]
Miyani learns about Qadim's meddling in the Mystic Forge, and the more recent ripples he's caused beyond it; condensed ley magic that had begun infecting some of the most dangerous foes in all of Tyria. In response, Miyani and some of the skritt working for the Mystic Forge asked that adventurers defeat these powerful entities and bring the harvested Condensed Ley-Line Essences back to them, which could be used in the creation of shiny weapons and Ultra Shiny weapons.

Dialogue[edit]
- For previous dialogue: Miyani/dialogue
- Ah, you're the one Zommoros invited to tour the Mystic Forge. Or are you here to see what I've got for sale?
What do you have for sale?
Why would Zommoros invite us into the Mystic Forge?
- Honestly, I have no idea. Up until now, he's been very secretive about how the forge works. Something's changed.
- Changed? How so?
- Ever since he sent out that invitation, he's been acting strange. More outgoing. Friendly. Very suspicious.
- What else can you tell me about Zommoros?
- He came up here from Elona a long time ago. He says it was voluntary, but I doubt it.
- You think Zommoros was forced to leave Elona?
- He likes to gamble and make bets. It's gotten him in trouble more than once.
I have more questions. (back to the dialogue start)
- I have more questions. (back to the dialogue start)
Thanks for your time.
- I have more questions. (back to the dialogue start)
- Thanks for your time.
- I have more questions. (back to the dialogue start)
- Thanks for your time.
- How does the forge work?
- Place the items you want transformed. If you're interested in the specifics, you should take Zommoros up on his tour.
- What do you do for Zommoros?
- Mostly listen to him yammer on about random topics. I also manage business between the forge and its customers.
- What do you get out of it?
- Headaches. Though sometimes he does tell me stories of my homeland, Elona. Helps me remember where I'm from.
- Why can't you go back?
- Even after everything that's happened there, it's a dangerous place. Besides, I've got a business to run here.
- I have more questions. (back to the dialogue start)
- I have more questions. (back to the dialogue start)
- Thanks for your time.
- So, are you the djinn's keeper?
- Keeper? I keep him company, but that's about it. Zommoros likes to talk, and I don't mind listening.
- I have more questions.
- I have more questions. (back to the dialogue start)
- I see. Well, take care.
- I have more questions. (back to the dialogue start)
- Thanks for your time.
- Miyani, I need a favor. I misplaced a specific sword, and I really need it back. Is that something the Mystic Forge could do? (If Broken Caladbolg has been destroyed and the player has not yet completed the Knight of the Thorn storyline)
- Well, it's possible that Zommoros has acquired such a weapon for his private collection. If you put together an offering of 10 Elonian Wine, he may relinquish it.
Here's 10 Elonian Wine. It's a broken plant-based sword—one of a kind. (Give 10 Bottle of Elonian Wine in exchange for Broken Caladbolg)
- It seems Zommoros anticipated your visit—your need must be great for him to give up this weapon.
- Thanks, Miyani. You're a lifesaver.
- In that case, may I take a look at the items you have in stock?
- Maybe another time.
- (If Finding Sibaha active)
- I'm tracking a skimmer thief named Sibaha. Did she come here?
- Oh, yes. Pretty bold. Walked right into the Mystic Forge, no appointment. Zommoros was taken aback, of course. She questioned him on a range of topics that he deemed "tedious scientific nonsense."
- How did he answer?
- He told me he directed the "presumptuous, condescending human with an unhealthy skimmer obsession" to subject matter experts in Moshpoipoi in Frostgorge Sound. Quaggans.
- But...there are quaggans in Lion's Arch.
- I pointed that out after Sibaha left. He said, "Yes, but Frostgorge is much farther away."
- Ah. I see. Well, thanks for the info.
- All right. Thanks.
- Oh, yes. Pretty bold. Walked right into the Mystic Forge, no appointment. Zommoros was taken aback, of course. She questioned him on a range of topics that he deemed "tedious scientific nonsense."
- Maybe another time.
- In the Memory of Old Lion's Arch
- Here to take your chances with Zommoros, the genie of the Mystic Forge? Or perhaps you'd like to see what I have for sale?
- What do you have for sale?
- Take my chances? What do you mean?
- Zommoros offers the chance to improve items, but he can be wildly inconsistent. You may get a wondrous item. Or, you may get garbage.
- Tell me more about Zommoros.
- Very powerful, very arrogant. But then most genies are. For all of our travels together, I know little about him. Maybe he'll reveal his secrets one day.
- What do you have for sale?
- So, are you his keeper?
- Hardly. More like his only friend. Despite his insistence to the contrary, he's lonely. He likes having someone to talk to, or someone to listen to his boasts.
- What do you have for sale?
- What do you get out of it?
- Between his boasts, he tells me stories of my homeland, Elona. It helps me remember where I'm from, even if I can't go back.
- What do you have for sale?
- Why can't you go back?
- Palawa Joko rules Elona with an iron fist. No one gets out or in. But Zommoros keeps the memory of my people alive through his stories. For that, I'm grateful.

- Place items in it that you want Zommoros to transform. He might improve them greatly, or give you back dreck. Genies are...unpredictable.

Notes[edit]
- Miyani was given a unique overhead icon on September 9th, 2014, as part of the September 2014 Feature Pack.
Trivia[edit]
- Miyani is voiced by Kari Wahlgren.
- Within the game files exists voice lines between Miyani and Zommoros that would play when using the Mystic Forge.[8] In these cut conversations Zommoros was voiced by Fred Tatasciore.
- Based on Miyani's in-game dialogue, it's implied that while working she and Zommoros still speak regularly amongst themselves, despite Zommoros mostly staying within the Forge.
- She wears Pit Fighter armor.
- Miyani's comment "Maybe you can show me some moves" is likely a tribute to the 80's Kung-Fu movie The Last Dragon.
- With the release of the Largos Fin Backpack Glider Combo, a blog post written by Evon Gnashblade mentions bothering Miyani about sending letters to largos instead of him, suggesting Miyani knows some largos.[9]
- While speaking to Sibaha in Lion's Arch, she remarks that Miyani does all the real work regarding running the Mystic Forge.[10]
- With the removal of Lionguard Lyns, Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs's third letter is the only time Miyani's pronouns are mentioned in-game, despite the fact that Miyani is mentioned in Zommoros's Research Notes, by Sibaha, and by the Commander.
- Miyani is also the name of a beach village in India.
