The Lyras Cycle were the events which took place after the fall of the Great Barrier in the mainland provinces of Kermoria from 393 to ?. The events pitched Lyras the Devourer against all of creation and the Immortals, and also reinforced the importance of the gods and the position of the Cleric's Guild.
Lyras, whose mistreatment as a child led her to become a necromancer, had grown so ravenous for absolute power that she wished to destroy everything, including the very Plane of Abiding. Wielding her dark powers she marched a vast army of various mindless undead creations across the fallen Barrier as well as specially powerful Risen, whom commanded their own necromantic magic. The governments of Forfedhdar, Ilithi, Zoluren, and Therengia all reacted to this threat with force while Qi mostly remained silent; however, many of their warriors struck out on their own.

Lyras' mundane creations were primarily reanimated Prydaen and Rakash, but some were vicious machinations of many bits and pieces of flesh.
Gestalt Draugen
Elongated, blood-tainted bones bound with a lattice of resinous ligament concoct what appears to be a horrific hybrid of canine and feline forms. Most lethal attributes of both have been picked out and combined into an indefatigable killing machine, replete with scythe-like claws and razor teeth. The abomination stands seven-feet tall and moves bipedally with some degree of cunning, slinking from shadow to shadow. Its Necromantic animating force has manifested as a bilious green phosphorescence which gleams from within its bones.
Amalgamated Fleshreaper
A hideous amalgam of shattered, twisted, and fused bone, the fearsome hulk before you rises to the height of several Gor'Togs. Clearly no natural beast possesses a skeletal structure as horrific as this - with uneven limbs formed of irregular, contorted lengths of flesh-stripped bone. Its claws are incongruent and jagged, bearing the unmistakable crimson stain of dried blood. Only a Necromancer of considerable power and vileness could meld the deceased bodies of so many beasts into such a horrific construct.
Unctuous Rakash Zombie
Mangy skin covers the Rakash zombie, tightly stretched over bone and rotting sinew. Despite the fact that its features are badly distended and bloated, the lupine nature of its former race in moonskin is evident. A stench of decay rises from the zombie, and flies swarm about every oozing orifice.
Preserved Zombified Prydaen
Mangy skin covers the zombified Prydaen, tightly stretched over bone and rotting sinew. Despite the fact that its features are badly distended and bloated, the feline nature of its former race is evident. A stench of decay rises from the Prydaen, and flies swarm about every oozing orifice.
