Last of the Firstborn
3? Here I was thinking 4: You figure, the 4 Cycle Luminaries, Caithe, Traeherne, Riannoc, (I want to say she’s 1stborn …) Faolain. Out of 12, that leaves us four to go, unless I’m missing someone here.
Otherwise, yes – I’m with you, and would like to see what the rest are up to.
Other 80s: Any but Warrior
Known firstborn:
- Aife – Luminary of Dawn
- Niamh – Luminary of Noon
- Kahedins – Luminary of Dusk
- Malomedies – Luminary of Night
- Caithe – Member of Destiny’s Edge
- Faolain – Grand Duchess of the Nightmare Court
- Riannoc (deceased)
- Trahearne
- Dagonet
Their locations in the game (spoilered for personal story content):
If you have a sylvari character, the Luminary of your Cycle is found in your home instance.
Riannoc died several years go in the past, but a sylvari personal story step (around level 24) allows you to witness his death in a vision.
Caithe is found in the House of Caithe instance in The Grove, and also appears in various personal story and dungeon instances.
Faolain may be encountered in the Twilight Arbor dungeon.
Trahearne appears throughout the personal story (as soon as level 11 for sylvari), and may also be found in the Caer Aval instance in Straits of Devastation.
Dagonet can be found in the park at the center of Divinity's Reach, between the asura gate and Queen Jennah's throneroom. If you speak to him as a sylvari, you will address him as "Firstborn".
(continued from above)
That leaves 3 sylvari firstborn still unaccounted for.
Also, so far two sylvari secondborn have been identified:
- Cadeyrn (background: http://www.arena.net/blog/dream-and-nightmare)
The founder of the Nightmare Court and one of its champions. He is encountered in the Twilight Arbor dungeon, where he is killed by Caithe and the players.
- Canach (who could only be encountered during various stages of the Lost Shores event arc so far)
He is involved with the Consortium and was in charge of their exploration of Southsun Cove, which was the main cause for the karka attack on Lion's Arch. He was arrested by the Lionguard, but managed to escape. The Consortium has deflected all blame to Canach, effectively using him as a scapegoat. Canach's current whereabouts are unknown.)
Your missing Dagonet he is the Scholar, you can find him in the garden of Divinity’s Reach in the center of the city
But can break down them by the cycles, I am curious if they will be 3 from each cycle
Cycle of Dawn:
Aife- Luminary
Cycle of Noon:
Niamh- Luminary
Cycle of Dusk:
Kahedins- Luminary
Faolain- Leader of Nightmare Court
Cycle of Night:
Malomedies- Luminary
Caithe- Destiny’s Edge
Unknown Cycle:
Riannoc- (guessing Noon, because of his story if you play Sylvari)
Trahearne- ( pretty sure I had read Cycle of Night, though can’t find at the moment)
Dagonet- (guessing Dusk because of the statement of him being a scholar)
That leaves 3 If my guesses are right and Anet balances them, that leaves two firstborn belonging to Cycle of Dawn, possibly Ambassadors at cities. Leaving one for cycle of Noon, which Noon Sylvari seem to be characterized as warriorish so maybe they are off somewhere fighting a dragon or such ( Maguuma Jungle). Some of them could possibly be part of the Nightmare as well who knows. I am pretty much just hoping these last 3 will play a part in the story to come.
I love the Sylvari story and lore that Anet has released so far!!!

Don’t forget
Laranthir of the Wild for Second Born
Also one has been added recently under the name Amaranda, some Seer deeply connected to the Dream, I will be looking into this to see if this is true since this is the first I have heard of her/him.
Amaranda shows up in the “Where Life Goes…” quest chain. To meet her, you have to choose Trahearne’s path when you get the choice of his or Caithe’s. I think he mentions that Amaranda is a secondborn in one of his conversation options.
Could someone make a visual of this!! Like a sort of family pale tree??
