King Lyr-a-Brode is a mabden King and the superior of Glandyth-a-Krae and ruler of all land. According to Glandyth, all beings deemed unfit or unwilling to serve or live under King Lyr's regime are to be exterminated, which is what happened to the ancient races Vadhagh and Nadragh. However, not all mabden are under his rule, such as the people of Lywm-an-Esh.
King Lyr was slain in the battle on Xiombarg's planes and the lands he conquered liberated.
