Luca Syara was a soldier for Cyre during The Last War. When the war ended, she moved to Sharn and began to produce plays.
She found a place in the Diamond Theater, and over the last two years her star has rapidly risen in Sharn society. Scholars and philosophers spend hours debating her works in the taverns of the University district. Luca is much sought after as a guest at social events and Morgrave functions, but she rarely makes public appearances.
Many of her plays wrestle seriously with issues raised by the Last War, exploring themes of nationalism, shattered idealism, alienation and grief, and the search for meaning in a war-ravaged world. For many, such serious, modern plays hold no interest and draw nothing but derision, but even those who hate her still talk about her. Her contract with the Diamond expires in another year, and certain circles buzz constantly with speculation about what upper-ward theater will snatch her up at that point.
On the 26th Olarune, 1000 YK, it was revealed that Luca wasn't entirely what she seemed to be. She's an Eladrin, a fey from Thelanis, and a considerably powerful one at that. In fact, she is a Ghaele Eladrin, an archfey, and is the main character of one of Thelanis's stories. She shouldn't be on the material plane, her story needs her, and so the other archfey desperately want her returned.
She believes that the Day of Mourning was her fault, a consequence of her abandoning her story on Thelanis and joining the Last War. She had to flee Sharn when she was attacked by Thelestes, the Velvet Blade, as her position was compromised and her nature revealed.
