Death of Mithrilanda

At the end of the Sixth Age Solandria's twin sister Sulansis reappeared and asked to meet with her sister to discuss a reconciliation. Believing that this must be a trap Mithrilanda tricked her ally into missing the meeting and, disguised as the Goddess of Light, she went to meet with Sulansis herself.

There Sulansis attacked Mithrilanda with the Dragonclaw Spear a powerful weapon formed from the essence of the dragon Benethyarr. Seeing that she bled silver, Sulansis realised her mistake but believing Mithrilanda slain, she took her sword and fled.

The blow did not kill Mithrilanda however, instead forcing her into an ethereal, dream-like state. While trapped in this half-living dream she forgot her own identity and such was her power that all of Reshomme forgot her as well.

During the Eighth Age her wandering spirit spoke with various powerful female mages - seeking a doorway back into the real world, but instead simply driving her conduits mad. Eventually the Mantonian Sorceress Aesha Lehtranna was able to channel the Goddess successfully and in time she awoke to her true nature.

As thanks for the Lady Lehtranna's help, Mithrilanda aided the Knights of the Silver Cross in their quest to lift the Dark Curse laid upon their king. Eventually Sulansis' minions were defeated and the Goddess of Darkness herself was banished and much of her power broken. At this time Mithrilanda was able to reclaim her blade.

The 'death' of Mithrilanda also coincided with the betrayal of her high priest - who shattered the Solinast with the aid of a great Nelonian ritual.
