Lirulorne was an Ayleid smith of great renown. They lived in Cyrod, during the final years of the Ayleid Empire, the Alessian Slave Rebellion and the onset of the Alessian Empire.[1] Lirulorne survived the rebellion and continued their work following the victory of the Nedes in 1E 243.[2] Shortly after the death of Alessia in 1E 266,[3] they struck a handful of masterwork coins for the deceased empress's consort, Morihaus. Some interpreted the gesture as reparations for humanity's long enslavement, others considered it a simple tribute.[1]
According to the scholars of the Antiquarian Circle of the University of Gwylim Lirulorne's craftsmanship was peerless. The composition of their Al-Esh Ascension Coins was considered extravagant. It proved that even the conquered Ayleids recognized the divine legitimacy of Alessia's rule. It was believed that coins crafted by Lirulorne were likely to be the rarest kind of coins ever minted by Tamrielic hands. One such coin was discovered and unearthed in the western holds of Skyrim by a member of the Antiquarian Circle during the Three Banners War, circa 2E 582.[1]
