Biography

Love Affair with Sarra Beneksri

He visited the town of Snowsdale on Beltane in 435 HE[1] and took Sarra Beneksri as a lover, subsequently becoming the father of Veralidaine Sarrasri. He did not acknowledge his daughter until many years later, but maintained his relationship with Sarra, taking her into the Divine Realms after her mortal death and helping her become a minor goddess in her own right. Weiryn's choice to take Sarra as his lover was not a unique occurrence; he had met and bedded other women when crossing into the mortal realms before. These visits were far from common, however, and due to the difficulty of giving birth to a god-sired child, Daine is Weiryn's first child in 130 years. Sarra's ascension and transformation into the Green Lady seems to be a unique honor not bestowed upon Weiryn's previous lovers.[2] However, Weiryn did have other children and even grandchildren from those, although they weren't really a part of his life. Because of the novelty Daine's children present to him he really enjoys being a grandfather and he and Sarra "spoil those kids rotten".[3]

Weiryn gave a bow to Daine, his daughter while she was in the Divine Realms when he and her mother brought her there at midsummer during the Battle of Port Legann.

He is a friend of the badger god. He is a master of hunting. Due to his petitioning of the Great Gods to have Sarra live with him and become a goddess, both he and his wife were bound to his lands for a century, thus creating the need for him to rely on the badger god to watch over his daughter.

Weiryn appeared in The Realms of the Gods and made another minor appearance in Trickster's Choice during one of Aly's visions.
