Laerryn Coramar-Seelie

 is an elf wizard and the architect arcane of Avalir. She is played by Aabria Iyengar.

Appearance
Laerryn is a pretty, dark-skinned elven woman. She is tall and lanky, and wears primarily gold clothing, sometimes with a purple cape. She has an angular face and gold eyes.

Personality
Laerryn takes her role as a key maintainer of the infrastructure of the city very seriously, and is a perfectionist. She frequently multitasks, and can be somewhat brusque and impatient.

Aabria said that Laerryn's personal hobby is her work.

Background
Laerryn married Loquatius Seelie seven years prior to the events of Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, at the last Replenishment. The two have since divorced. She is architect arcane at the Court of Working and a member of the Abjuration Guild, through which she holds the title of Hierophant Abjura.

Laerryn worked intensely with her staff on the arcane engine of Avalir and the logistics of Avalir's descent to Cathmoíra. She then excitedly reviewed her own research into ley energies that were likely to change during the imminent celestial solstice. She was interrupted by the arrival of Loquatius, and the two had an argumentative conversation but reminisced about their upcoming anniversary.

Later that evening, Laerryn attended the ball at the Palazzo Por'co, but wished to return to her research. She investigated the arcane aspects of the strange bow that Cerrit brought.

Laerryn hurried away from the party to work on her experiments in the Meridian Labyrinth. Nydas met her there with four automata, and she had an automaton insert the bow of a solar into her engine, the Astral Leywright. She then used the Astral Leywright for its purpose: to transport a small machine, the Ley-Rudder, to another plane. She and Nydas both celebrated, as they hope to redirect leylines and allow Avalir to travel to other planes so that they can become like the gods, but she then noticed that this working caused the Arboreal Calix to draw a considerable amount of power.

Laerryn then went with Patia to the Magisterium in search of Micah Cormorant. They found his door locked, but Laerryn summoned a construct to break down the door. The two wizards attacked and killed Magister Cormorant before searching his records and finding information about the Arboreal Calix and the original pact with the Gau Drashari, as well as evidence that Cormorant had been tampering with teleportation records.

At around 1 in the morning, Laerryn heard from her helmswoman that the descent to Cathmoíra was ready with no anticipated issues, but the communication ended in a choking noise. Laerryn called the rest of the Ring of Brass to go to the Meridian Labyrinth, but they were stopped by Lacrytia Hollow.

When questioned by Lacrytia, Laerryn told her she was heading to the helm. During the ensuing fight, Laerryn notably used Reverse Gravity and Counterspelled a serious attack on Patia. She then used Dimension Door to take herself and Loquatius to the helm as the fight was still ongoing.

The two of them were able to secure one of the eldritch batteries under attack. Laerryn and Loquatius then talk: he want to understand her plans, and says that she should get permission from all of Avalir. When she tells him he could return to the Feywild, he says that he's happy here. Calum then calls her to confirm only one battery was destroyed and that there is some strange script in Primordial to decipher. He also gives her a status report on the energy in the city, and Laerryn tells him to short the tithe to the Gau Drashari. Loquatius is even more concerned for her, and tells her history is subjective and unkind, but Laerryn continues with her plans.

The rest of the Ring of Brass convenes at the helm. Laerryn resists Zerxus's Zone of Truth. As the party discusses their findings, Laerryn admits that Evandrin's illness was likely due to her sending him - willingly - to the Celestial planes, and she angrily accuses the druids of preventing her spells from working.

When the group realizes that the city landing would complete Lacrytia and Vespin's plans, Cerrit realizes that Laerryn is lying about not knowing how to stop it, and she tells him that this is her only opportunity in 120 years to engage the Astral Leywright. Cerrit leaves, and the rest of the Ring of Brass goes to the Arboreal Calix. Loquatius notices the model of the Ley-Rudder stuck in the trees, and Laerryn tries but fails to pull it out with Mage Hand. She decides the tree is what is preventing planar travel, and once she sees Evandrin stuck in the tree begins to cast Blight. Nydas tries to stop her, and a fight ensues. Nydas is able to hold her for most of it, and Dweomer comes to her aid, but eventually she breaks free and casts Blight on the tree. It cracks in half, and Vespin, then Asmodeus, both emerge.

Relationships
Laerryn and Loquatius were once married, but have since divorced. They appear to still both have some hard feelings about the end of their relationship. She entrusts both Nydas and Patia to help her with the Astral Leywright and is very close with them both. She was also dear friends with Evandrin, who left her his locket. Dweomer is extremely loyal and protective towards her.

Behind the scenes
The idea for Laerryn and Loquatius being ex-spouses was proposed by Sam Riegel, the player for Loquatius. While the cast was discussing their characters, Sam mentioned that he always wanted to play a character who was divorced from another member of the party, and Aabria Iyengar immediately volunteered to play his ex-wife.
