Story

Legendary Explorer

Lira, pictured on the far right

Lira was a powerful bowman who, at some point in their journey, befriended four other legendary Explorers - Sayram the warrior, Aurelia the magician, Kalix the thief, and Draken the pirate. Though it was unknown how these five heroes had met, they would often joke that they had started out as enemies before becoming friends, remaining inseparable and vowing to stay allies until the very end.

The Shadow War

Around 300 years before the Black Mage's unsealing, a mysterious war broke out in Maple World. Though nearly all details about its origins and history remained shrouded in mystery, it was rumored that Lotus, whose spirit was capable of leaving his comatose body and possessing others, may have been the cause. Together, Lira and their allies banded together with many others in order to face their enemies, whose identities were lost to time. Alongside the Explorers, the Noblesse - who had sworn to uphold Shinsoo's legacy - joined the battle, as well as Athena Pierce, whose talents as an elven bowman were indispensable in the battle. Despite their efforts, however, the flames of war continued to reignite, no matter how many times they were extinguished, resulting in a long and arduous struggle. Eventually, a final, decisive battle took place at an unknown fortress, where the mysterious enemies used a powerful superweapon to attack. Though the enemy was repelled, the bloody battle resulted in the destruction of half the fortress and immeasurable casualties, including Lira, Kalix and Draken, whose bodies were never recovered, leading to their status remaining unknown. Aurelia would go on to create a small grave for her fallen allies, whose bodies were never been found.
