Liliana Temult

Liliana Temult is the mother of Imogen Temult. Ruidusborn, she is gifted with psychic abilities, including telepathy. She left her family in Gelvaan when Imogen was too young to remember her, but Imogen recognizes Liliana's voice in her recurring dreams instructing her to run from a red storm. As an NPC, she is played by Matthew Mercer.

Description
Liliana is a human woman with lavender hair. When Imogen was small, she wore her hair in a long braid. She is Ruidusborn, granting her abilities that include telepathy, telekinesis, and the ability "to see beyond her eyes".

Liliana prefers violin music and enjoys a particular type of a lavender vanilla scent. According to Relvin, she was, when he knew her, sweet, willful, and intelligent, but seemed to belong somewhere else.

Background
Liliana Temult is the mother of Imogen Temult. She lived with Imogen and Imogen's father, Relvin Temult, in Gelvaan in the Taloned Highlands of Marquet. Relvin stated that Liliana did not reveal her powers to him initially, and that her own nightmares began after Imogen was born. Liliana left Gelvaan when Imogen was very young, and Imogen did not have memories of Liliana. Relvin spoke little of Liliana, especially after Imogen began developing her magical abilities. Imogen felt that Relvin knew that he would "give something away" and, before learning of Liliana's participation in studies on Ruidus, she believed he was simply uncomfortable speaking about Liliana. As a result, Imogen knew little of her mother and was uncertain if she was even still alive by the events of Campaign 3.

Liliana met Grim Verity working on the Omen Archive project for the Aydinlan Seminary in Yios and was the first Exaltant Ruidusborn to participate in their study led by Professor Kadija Sumal who researches recurring dreams of a red storm in psychic individuals. Due to her preferance of the violin music and a satisfaction with a particular type of a lavender vanilla, the researchers had a staff violinist for their sessions with the lavender vanilla scent fluttering in the air to help her get into a right set of mind. During the study, she met Hondir, another member of the Grim Verity; they have not seen one another since 831 PD, twelve years before Campaign 3. However, research was not fruitful for answers that Liliana sought, she grew frustrated. This was when Otohan Thull and the Cerberus Assembly found her, and she apparently began to work with them.

Imogen began having the dream of the red storm in around 833 PD, about a decade before Campaign 3. She heard what she knew to be her mother's voice seemingly speaking to her from another realm, telling her to run from the storm.

Campaign 3: Bells Hells
Liliana's voice was heard in all of Imogen's nightmares of an approaching red storm, urging her to run. In, Imogen learned that Liliana was a participant in the study on Ruidus and a recurring dream of red storms, like the one Imogen suffered, conducted by Kadija. Imogen sought to find more information about her mother and eventually learned from Hondir about Liliana's abilities. Liliana later appeared in a memory from Imogen's early childhood that was surfaced by a burst of Imogen's power; in the memory, Liliana caught Imogen after Imogen fell, soothed her by speaking to her telepathically, then suddenly looked intensely off into the distance.

During a Ruidus flare, Imogen saw a figure in her dream and, upon catching up to that figure, found that it was her mother, who urged her again to run. Upon waking, Imogen cast Sending to Liliana, who responded. They had a brief conversation over several Sending castings, where Liliana told her daughter that she was safe and well, but refused to give her location. She claimed that it was too dangerous for them to meet and urged Imogen to run. Imogen said that she was tired of running, but there were no further messages. A few days later, in Yios, Imogen cast Sending again and told Liliana where she was and that she could really use more guidance, and that she feared being swept away by the storm, but Liliana again told Imogen to stay away for her own safety.

Imogen focused on Liliana in a dream she had while Bells Hells was in the Feywild, in which Laudna and FCG had joined her via Shared Dream. In her dream, she saw her mother at the Tishtan excavation site. She reached out, but Liliana told her to go. Liliana cast something to dismiss her, and both Imogen and FCG woke up. Laudna was able to wake up as well after some effort.

A few days later, while on their way to the Tishtan excavation site, Imogen once more attempted to reach out to Liliana in a dream, this time accompanied by Orym and Fearne. The trio encountered the form of Liliana, who was initially confused but grew more tangible and present as the dream progressed. She told Imogen she shouldn't be there. When Imogen told her the Ruby Vanguard's plan was going to destroy the world, Liliana protested that she was going to save it and free them, and that she had done this for Imogen's benefit; it would remove her powers. As she said this, she showed Imogen a vision of the future she promised, and Imogen felt a sense of freedom. Lilian then noticed the motes of Orym and Fearne, and pushed all three out of the dream.
