== History ==
Llarimar had served as a priest to the Returned [[Kindwinds the Honest]],{{book ref|wb|54}} but he grew disillusioned with his gods as he spent years exposed to their venality and corruption. He had a hobby for sailing, and often brought his brother [[Stennimar]] and his daughter [[Tatara]] with him.{{book ref|wb|3}} One time while on a family boating excursion, his boat the [[Red Panther]] was caught in a storm. Tatara was thrown from the deck to certain death, but his brother leaped into the sea and fastened his lifeline to her, rescuing her at his own expense.{{book ref|wb|57}} Following his sacrifice, Stennimar Returned as Lightsong the Bold. The miracle restored Llarimar's faith and he became Lightsong's high priest.{{book ref|wb|54}} He was so highly trusted that he was one of the few to whom Lightsong entrusted his [[Lifeless]] command phrase for a quarter of Hallandren's armies.{{book ref|wb|47}}

Llarimar tended to his duties with fervor and actively encouraged Lightsong to believe in himself. He recorded Lightsong's dreams and his comments on the paintings he looked at, believing his dreams to be prophetic and his comments to have godly meaning. He was strictly obedient to Lightsong and tolerated all his whims without complaint.{{book ref|wb|3}} He knew Lightsong better than anyone else and could point out behavior that was not typical of him.{{book ref|wb|23}}

During the events of the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]], Llarimar assisted Lightsong in his investigations at [[Mercystar|Mercystar's]] Palace. He also helped in the attempt to save Blushweaver.{{book ref|wb|52}} When captured by the rebels, it was only when Llarimar's life was threatened that Lightsong gave up the pass phrase that controlled his contingent of the Lifeless army.{{book ref|wb|53}} Llarimar then confessed the truth to Lightsong about his previous life as a scribe, revealing the details of Lightsong's death and the true nature of their relationship. This confession broke the taboo against revealing details of a Returned's former life, but he hoped that it would restore Lightsong's faith in himself and in the Iridescent Tones.{{book ref|wb|54}}

== Relationships ==
He is the brother and high priest of Lightsong and the father of Tatara. Llarimar loves and respects his brother, who died saving Tatara. Before Lightsong's advent, he was having a crisis of faith; witnessing Lightsong's return restores his faith and lets him take irreverent quips and teasing demeanor with a respectful patience. He is always willing to handle Lightsong's doubts about the theology of the Cult of the Returned, and discuss theology to help Lightsong through whatever questions might be worrying him. Lightsong, in turn, respects his patient temperament and considers him the perfect high priest, though Lightsong feels Llarimar deserves a better god.{{book ref|wb|18}}

His interactions with other people are limited, but he is kind to Siri on the rare occasions they spoke.
