How has the time skip treated her? Did any major events occur?
The time skip you ask? It's been rough, like any other stretch of time. Tough perhaps less exciting.
Nyxandriel had been tied up in local affairs. The past few wars and conflicts had left the coffers of the House of Verdigris a little skinny, and that wasn't something Nyxandriel could deal with fast enough.
She sent one of her trusted in disguise as a Quel'dorei in hopes of finding leads to make more deals and trades with wealthy families and businesses. Though that was just a side project. The people of her house, including her vassal House Dorathis, have been incredibly productive in a more open fashion to restore import and export to Quel'thalas. It was both a grand profit for her own treasury and the collective wealth of the peoples.
Alyriel Dusborne was a woman she had taken in and sent to live with Lord Dorathins many years ago, though had been kept somewhat out of the loop. Her primary directive was to serve the kingdom of Quel'thalas and aid in whichever way she could, including mingling with the Aristocracy to keep insight into the ongoings, as Nyxandriel could not be paid to attend those functions. Or at least, not paid enough.
Her incessant search for relics and artifacts was primarily on hold. Something she was incredibly unhappy about.
The House Guard had grown thin of course, many lost to missions and excursions, calls to aid, and the past global conflicts in general. Her captain had posted job opportunities and traveled to find more bodies to fill the empty uniforms and armor.
While there was an uneasy peace, she felt, it was best to fortify her own House. Renovations and training of the staff.
Most of her plans had been carried out successfully but regaining better communications with Ithios Sin'dal was still in the stage of attempt.
She had put her Seers to use, but they had only offered cryptic visions and messages that made no sense until the Dracthyr arrived. With that information, Nyxandriel thought it was time to re-assemble a team of guards to accompany her Pathfinder to scope out what could possibly be an incredibly lucrative opportunity.
Overall, however, in private, she's grown incredibly withdrawn. She is suffering from a case of paranoia and the passing of years has only reinforced her determination to keep everyone at bay.
