It was not the assault on the gates that, where the Grandmaster of the Knights of Solace held her shield in the air and sheltered a young soldier with it during an arrow storm. Nor did Grandmaster Lyra Godsworn fall during the repelling of Bringers seeking to infiltrate the Pit. Nor was it while escorting Mercies towounded soldiers on the Wall during an assault. None of these events could take down the Grandmaster of the Knights of Solace. Lyra was set to be a fixture in the siege of Arx, her silver armor a beacon to all who saw her on the field; her clarion yells on the battlefield bolstering flagging hearts.
No, it would be something quieter that finally removed Lyra from the defense of Arx. As the sun rose over the city and Lyra did not arrive at her morning appointment, a knight was sent to fetch her. Shortly after, rumor began to spread... and by midday, a procession of Knights of Solace, in full garb, carried the body of Grandmaster Lyra from the House of Solace to the Great Cathedral for final services.
Grandmaster Lyra Godsworn continues her journey as a traveler on a road without end. May death guide her to the next path.
