Imyr Por'co

Imyr Por'co is an elven wizard and one of the founders of the flying city of Avalir. As an NPC, Imyr is played by Brennan Lee Mulligan.

Appearance
Imyr is a beautiful elven man with long hair.

Personality
Imyr is an extremely ambitious mage, described as brilliant by his peers. In his old age, he grew bitter.

Background
Imyr and a group of other wizards living in Toramunda learnt of the vast quantity of Brumestone beneath Mount Ygora, the mountain the city lies upon, and wished to use that brumestone to take the city to the skies. They spoke with the Gau Drashari, the druidic guardians of the mountain, asking their permission to take the city, and eventually came to an agreement known as the Pact of Crown and Throne: The wizards could take the peak of the mountain but in return the people of Avalir would tend to and guard the Tree of Names and would return to the land every seven years to perform the Replenishment, in which they released a quarter of Avalir's raw magic back into the land. Imyr finished the enchantment to sever the two cities and served as one of the rulers of Avalir, presumably until his passing. It can be assumed that at one point he had a child, as he has a granddaughter, Patia Por'co.

The pre-Replenishment party at the Palazzo Por'co is named the Feast of Imyr in his honor.

When she touched the Tree of Names, Patia saw a vision of Imyr speaking with the Gau Drashari.

Patia revisited two memories of her grandfather. The first after she addressed his statue and spoke of her life of service to Avalir, and was of Imyr in his old age, telling her she would succeed where her parents had failed, but that it would be best if neither of them remembered them. The second was a memory, as she died, of Imyr telling her that should she ever need to choose between her family and the city, that she should choose the family, as they could build it again if they had to.

Trivia
The Por'co Falls, a magical waterfall in Avalir, is named in his honor. Additionally, on the Eve of the Replenishment, Patia hosted the Feast of Imyr at the Palazzo Por'co, both also named after him.
