Hello! And thank you for the kind words✨
And I am horrible! 😆I was a mess when writing the bad endings, I'm glad they are having the intended effect.
Lyris and Lady Medea (and Keldran, too!) are cameos from backers of the Kickstarter campaign!
You can meet Keldran in the games by Galen Games. I wrote him in Academy Carols!
Lady Medea's resemblance to the Envoy is coincidental, but since they're both noblewomen, a connection could make sense!
As for Lyris, she is an Envoy, but not one of the Four Winds. Most Envoys are tied to the land they govern, although there are exceptions (like Shirocco, who likes to travel). Alira is the sister of the original Lyris, who stayedby her side once she became an Envoy, and mysteriously disappeared.
Hope this answered some questions!
