Quana Kryn

 is a female drow echo knight and general of the Aurora Watch. She is also the partner of the Bright Queen Leylas Kryn, with whom she has been for three of her lifetimes and five of Leylas's. Quana is devoted to the people of the Dynasty and to Leylas, and she hopes that one day her people will live outside of Xhorhas among the other peoples of Exandria.

Quana appears briefly in Campaign Two in the throne room of the Bright Queen and as the Kryn Dynasty's in-person representative during the peace negotiations to end the War of Ash and Light. As an NPC, she is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Quana is first described as an armored figure in the Lucid Bastion throne room. In The Tales of Exandria: The Bright Queen comic, she has long purple hair with a white streak, styled in an undercut and tied back in a low ponytail. She wears purple armor over her torso with matching bracers while in the Lucid Bastion, armed with a sword. When she left Rosohna with the Aurora Watch, she wears heavier purple armor with a cape affixed at her right shoulder and a three-pronged helmet.

Personality
Quana is entirely devoted to the people of the Kryn Dynasty and to the Bright Queen Leylas Kryn, her partner. She hopes that their people might be able to leave the inhospitable Xhorhas and find a place in the world among other peoples. Though she recognizes that collecting the Luxon beacons are the Dynasty's greatest successes, she feels nothing at recovering new ones. She feels doubt and wonders if the search has consumed her and Leylas, causing them to have overlooked something. She is described as quiet.

Background
Quana is consecuted and is a member of Den Kryn. She has been reincarnated at least three times by 835 PD, as she has spent three lives as Leylas's partner. Quana is general of the Aurora Watch, holding the title of Dusk Captain, and an echo knight.

Campaign Two
Quana was first mentioned in court in, sitting next to Leylas. When the Bright Queen stated that vengeance would be enacted against the Empire for their deeds, Quana stepped forward to publicly beseech her to keep her emotions out of her decision. This quieted the court, and Leylas calmed herself. She later acted as the in-person emissary throughout for the Dynasty in the peace negotiations with the Dwendalian Empire to end the War of Ash and Light. She arrived upon the ship Vin-Radethak.

The Tales of Exandria: The Bright Queen
Arriving late to Leylas's summons, Quana felt that she would be forgiven, as the Aurora Watch confirmed a sixth beacon in the Ghostlands and she was leaving immediately. Leylas remarked that there was something else, as Quana had been sad in recent months. Though collecting the beacons were some of the Dynasty's greatest successes, Quana felt nothing for it. She worried the search consumed her and Leylas, causing them to overlook something. Leylas, who had a dream from the Luxon, showed her a new soul within a beacon. Leylas told the joyful Quana that this child was "the light incarnate, dependent on our union" and that their love was essential to the Dynasty's future. Upon arriving in the Ghostlands, Quana was betrayed by her contact there. Using dunamancy, Leylas left Rosohna to attempt to save Quana from abduction. Leylas arrived in time to grab her but could not hold on. Quana told Leylas that she had "seen it" before being taken away.

Leylas Kryn
Quana has been the partner of the Leylas Kryn through three lifetimes and five of Leylas's. In the past, Leylas has listened to Quana's "idealism" that their people may one day live among other peoples. However, during the War of Ash and Light, Leylas has been less receptive, disappointing Quana. More so, Quana is worried by her usually calm and wise partner's increasingly emotional and vehement reactions to events.

Quotations

 * "My queen. I implore you to listen and keep your temperament outside the judgment of law. Please."
 * "We are on the brink of recovering another beacon. These moments become our greatest achievements, and yet, I feel... nothing. We've lived many lifetimes together, Leylas, through many forms, and although reuniting the beacons has always been a part of that... I wonder if it hasn't somehow... consumed us. If something else has been missed in its pursuit... I'm sorry if—"
