The family also suffers the name of Aaliyah Arete, who was disowned by the family for having relations with a commoner. She was subsequently sent to the Far East "to be the commoner she pretends to be." At first Aaliyah was defiant, but she has learned to appreciate her noble heritage and strives to regain her honour and her family's respect. Alendru is sympathetic towards Aaliyah's circumstances, as he himself would prefer a life beyond "the petty etiquette of nobility." Averyll is disdainful towards Aaliyah, as she believes that "nothing is more important than serving the realm." Aeryn is indifferent towards Aaliyah, as she is concerned only for "the general good and welfare of the people of Abington."
Aaliyah came to be familiar with Excalibur, the former Paladin Primus of the Grand Lodge of Lunaria, as well as Sir San, the region lord and marshal famous for his skills with a sword, during the war against Soliferum. In fact, she was personally asked by Excalibur to join the Guardians of Twilight, the official state religion of Lunaria. She did so and was quickly promoted to "Scholar of Dawn". But Victore, the judge of Soliferum, became suspicious of Aaliyah's activities in his realm, and had her arrested many many times, eventually threatening her life if she ever were to return. However, hostilities between the two realms have ended, and many of Aaliyah's noble friends have retired, so her life has returned to ebb-and-flow of everyday adventuring.
