The '''Ire''' is a group of exceptionally [[cosmere]]-aware [[Elantrian]] [[worldhopper]]s from [[Sel]] who have constructed a fortress in the [[Cognitive Realm]] between worlds.{{msh ref|5|1}}{{wob ref|13199}} [[Aon#Ire|Aon Ire]], presumably their namesake, means ''age'' or ''time''.{{book ref|elantris|part=ars}}
==Equipment==
===Fortress===
The Ire's fortress is located in the Cognitive Realm at the very edge of the subastral of Scadrial, near the space between planets.{{wob ref|6987}}{{wob ref|5671}} The corresponding location in the [[Physical Realm]] is somewhere in the ocean beyond the [[Farmost Dominance]] in the northwest of the [[Final Empire]].{{msh ref|3|2}} It is made of white stones—actually the souls of stones—that glow with a faint, constant blue light.{{msh ref|5|2}} The conduit that connects the fortress to the Dor provides the power needed for the fortress to have permanence in the Cognitive Realm, as the power can be seen coursing through the entire building.{{msh ref|5|2}} It is beautiful and somehow inviting; it is the Ire's most well-constructed facility,{{wob ref|13199}} and is nearly as large as a city.{{msh ref|5|2}}{{msh ref|3|3}} It has numerous windows, with some being narrow, like an arrow slit. The interior of the fortress has stone corridors and multiple large chambers. It also has living quarters for its residents, including bedrooms. Guards keep watch from the roof of the fortress looking for [[Cognitive Shadow]]s, particularly those from [[Threnody]].{{msh ref|5|2}} Horses are also kept in the fortress.{{msh ref|5|3}}
 
===Magical Artifacts===
The Ire are in possession of several extremely powerful magical artifacts. They have a device the size of a desk clock that consists of a large yellow gemstone set in a lattice of golden metal.{{msh ref|5|2}} The device, which shares several characteristics with [[Rosharan]] [[Fabrial#Warning fabrials|warning fabrials]], is able to detect the presence of Threnodite [[shade]]s within a day's march of the fortress.{{msh ref|5|2}}
 
The group also designed (and likely created) a [[Ire's orb|magical orb]] that was filled with apurified pure, brightly glowing liquid[[Dor]] that could grant Connection.{{msh ref|5|2}}{{msh ref|5|3}}{{msh ref|6|4}} The orb was technically created using a known magic system,{{wob ref|4550}} although it was used in a novel way.{{wob ref|1561}}{{wob ref|951316169}} Despite their extensive planning, the Ire may not have been fully prepared for the effects of using the orb.{{wob ref|11820}}
 
They also drink a glowing liquid that has a similar appearance to the substance in the orb.{{msh ref|5|2}} Drinking the liquid restores the luminous aura that emanates from the members of the Ire.{{msh ref|5|3}} The specific nature of the liquid is unknown, but it has some relation to a glowing substance made of Investiture{{wob ref|1542}} that [[Hoid]] is seen applying to his oar when he is rowing through the Cognitive Realm.{{msh ref|2|1}}{{wob ref|200}}
Many years after Kelsier's disruption, one of the group's members, [[Riina]] came into the possession of a [[Sorceress's tower|spaceship]] and used it to travel to [[Lumar]].{{book ref|Tress|64}}{{book ref|Tress|60}} She gradually became known locally as a powerful ''Sorceress''; she took up that name, going on to curse those who tried to disrupt her presence.{{book ref|Tress|64}} The kingdom on the [[Emerald Sea]] attempted wars against her in vain.{{book ref|Tress|5}}{{book ref|Tress|9}} She was eventually forced to leave by [[Hoid]] and [[Tress]].{{book ref|Tress|64}} Whether the Ire sanctioned, or even was aware of, these actions is unknown.
