Lauren ir'Isen is a commander for the First Aerie of dragonhawk riders in southern Aundair. A stocky, ginger-haired khoravar ace with more than fifty kills, she's more comfortable in the sky than on the ground. Moving up in the ranks meant that for the last four years of the war, she didn't see any direct combat despite a deep desire to. With the end of the war and the force drawdown, she's returned to patrolling Aundair's skies with her prize dragonhawk, Featherheart. Recently, she's become concerned for the aviary - Dragonhawk eggs are extremely valuable due to their slow rate of breeding, and one has recently gone missing. Any number of suspects could have stolen the egg, from local bandits, to a rival country, to House Vadalis. Characters who locate the missing egg not only earn favor with her but can use her to get introductions in the Aundairian military or Aurala's court in Fairhaven.
