The Blood Moon is the High Holy Day of the Teir`dal and occurs once every twenty-seven months, according to lore. Every Teir`dal follower of Hate must murder a good being to honor their faith. The nobles choose a commoner to mate with and then sacrifice.

Vendela G`Kal, a high priestess of Innoruuk, attended the Festival of the Moon of Blood in the Neriak commons. As the festival progressed, she noticed an exceptionally fine looking common male in the throng. The high priestess bade him be her sacrifice to Innoruuk. She led him to her inner sanctum, and fulfilled the first part of her duty. Exhausted, she fell into a deep sleep. When she awoke, the dark elf was gone. The following year, she gave birth.

The child borne from this chance encounter showed remarkable abilities beyond that which any ordinary Teir`Dal had ever possessed. Many saw this, and took note. As she grew, many tried to end her life, fearing her for her power and abilities. On the first such attempt, an ancient shadowknight named Laarthik K`Shin saw the three would-be assassins and slew them as they made their attempt upon the Child of Innoruuk. After the battle, Innoruuk appeared before the shadowknight and conscripted him into service. He assigned the shadowknight to teach and protect the child and gave him a new, younger, body to enable him to do so. Under the shadowknight's tutelage, the child grew strong in both the art of combat and the dark magics of necromancy. She stood ready to spread hate across all of Norrath.

This is how Lanys T'Vyl came to be.
