'''Muylari''' ''([[Erlini]]: "The Watcher (Of All Things)")'' was a man cursed with immortality after he and his wife were saved from being eaten by a [[Lorgalis|dark rider]]. He owed his life to his new master, and had to return as his servant after his wife passed away. Muylari was forced to oversee the plundering of silver mines in what was later called the Lysierian Hills, far to the north-west near [[Darkstone Bay]] in northern [[Jontara]]. He used [[sorcery]] in the form of "forget" and other mind destruction spells to make the locals fail to understand what was happening to them. |

Muylari ordered his men to bury Jaron Galarn alive, but then the ground cracked and released a great evil "wyrm" entity of darkness. Muylari survived while his mining crew mostly or entirely perished. Muylari shifted the valley into another existence with magic, and was cursed with immortality. |

The [[Shadow steed|equines]] of the valley had long been rumored to have kept the thing at bay, but now enslaved, were unable to stop it from breaking free and conquering the valley. They were all cursed with [[undead|undeath]], and Muylari fled, only to suffer for thousands of years. |

While the valley was still present in its cursed state when [[Navigators|Selias Jodame]] visited in the early 6000s [[Second Era]], it would become unstable and shifted between time and space until it anchored under the [[The Graveyard|necropolis]] of [[Bandur Etrevion]] a few hundred miles to the south-west. [[Player character|Adventurers]] witnessed the equines fly up and battle the monstrosity, in spite of their undeath, which resembled a flying serpent with arms and wings. These Terrorite demons frequently served as lieutenants of [[Ordainers]], and were known for tearing into other realities unexpectedly, knocking out whoever they ensnared with their [[501|sleep]] poison.

Behind the Scenes
"Muylari" is probably supposed to mean something in Iruaric or less likely Erlini, given its stark similarity to the word Iylari which are the High Elves. Research:Shadow Valley analyzes the story and Shadow Valley itself for its possible deeper meanings. The reason the Secluded Valley is found near The Graveyard (implicitly a "mana portal") may have had more explanation in story events around its release but it is not recorded now. Notably, there is no log for Muylari traveling to the valley, which may be when Shadow Valley was first released. However, that is briefly described in writing appended to a log of the Dark Pasture release event, with the wyrm demon.
