== History ==▼
{{quote|My father carried me down here from the highlands, Princess. He died working the [[Tears of Edgli|Edgli]] fields. I’ve pulled myself up by the pain of my scraped, bleeding hands. I worked very hard to make things better for your people.|Rira to [[Vivenna]]{{book ref|wb|31}}}}▼
Rira's father brought him to [[Hallandren]] when Rira was very young.{{book ref|wb|31}} His father died working in the dye fields, harvesting the [[Tears of Edgli]]. Eventually Rira became part of the Idrian underworld and gained enough power and influence to become considered to be a slumlord. He bought [[Breath]] and ran some prostitution operations.▼
When [[Vahr]] attempted to start a rebellion among the dye workers, Rira helped to finance the rebellion, and lost a lot of money when Vahr was captured.{{book ref|wb|31}} Rira was the boss of [[Thame]], who encouraged [[Vivenna]] to meet Rira and speak to the Idrians living in T'Telir.{{book ref|wb|22}} When Vivenna met with Rira, as well as [[Ashu]] and [[Paxen]], he claimed to be honored to meet her and was curious about what Vivenna had been doing in T'Telir.{{book ref|wb|31}}▼
However, Rira's interests in an Idrian rebellion were not as pure as Vivenna had hoped.{{book ref|wb|31}} He wanted a promise of [[Fafen]]'s hand in marriage in order to gain his support for the rebellion. He believed that war between Hallandren and Idris was inevitable. When Vivenna showed disgust for Rira and the others, he claimed that he took care of the Idrians better than Vivenna could do.▼
