== History ==
{{image|Lightsong and Llarimar by Marie Seeberger.jpg|side=left|width=250px|With Lightsong}}
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 brings his brother [[Stennimar]] and his daughter Tatara with him.{{book ref|wb|3}} However while on a family boating excursion his boat the [[Red Panther]] was caught in a storm. His daughter was thrown from the deck to certain death, but was rescued by his brother who leaped into the sea and fastened his own lifeline to her instead. Following his sacrifice, Stennimar Returned as Lightsong the Bold. The miracle restored Llarimar's faith and he became Lightsong's high priest. 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 tends to his duties with fervor and actively encourages Lightsong to believe in himself. He records Lightsong's dreams and his comments on the paintings he looks at, believing his dreams to be prophetic and his comments to have godly meaning. He is strictly obedient to Lightsong and tolerates all his whims without complaint.{{book ref|wb|3}} He knows Lightsong better than anyone else and can point out behaviour that was not typical of him.{{book ref|wb|23}}▼

He assists Lightsong in his investigations at [[Mercystar|Mercystar's]] Palace. He also helps in the attempt to save Blushweaver.{{book ref|wb|52}} When captured by the rebels, it is only when Llarimar's life is threatened that Lightsong gives up the pass phrase that controls his contingent of the Lifeless army.{{book ref|wb|53}} Llarimar then confesses 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 breaks the taboo against revealing details of a Returned's former life, but he hopes that it will restore Lightsong's faith in himself and in the Iridescent Tones. {{book ref|wb|54}}▼

He is the brother and High Priest of [[Lightsong]] and the father of [[Tatara]]. Llarimar loves and respects his brother, who died saving Llarimar's daughter, Tatara. Before Lightsong's advent, he had been having a crisis of faith; witnessing Lightsong's return lets him take irreverent quips and teasing demeanor with a respectful patience. He's also 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 at him.▼
