Lavira Tagor was the sixteenth Gardien de la Flamme of Thrane.

Towards the end of the year 936 AR, controversial Keeper Kaith Serrain, the Voice of the Flame of Thrane, passed away. While normally the Voice of the Flame immediately identifies its successor, in this instance it was uncharacteristically quiet until the middle of 937 AR, when it appointed Lavira Tagor as the next Gardien de la Flamme.

Keeper Lavira Tagor came to power in the early years of the derniere_guerre. She was much more moderate than her predecessor. Her early decrees helped make Thrane a more sympathetic nation. She reversed the church's stance on the Purge Lycanthropique, and helped shed the image of Férals as “spawn of evil.” She portrayed Thrane as a nation that used its military might for right, not just for power.

As La Dernière Guerre continued, Keeper Tagor supported Thrane's push to control the area around the city of Vathirond, known as “the Cauldron.” Thrane vied alongside both Brelande and Cyre for control of the Cauldron. Keeper Tagor pitched the assaults as a way to free various “religious artifacts” from the monasteries that lined the area; however, Thrane also sought the strategic dominance of passage_de_la_cote that Vathirond afforded.

While the Cauldron traded hands a number of times between the years 947 AR and 951 AR. Thrane eventually Perdu the Cauldron when the Cyran army enlisted battalions of talenta Hobbit mercenaries. The Dinosauree-mounted mercenaries cut through Thrane's line, forcing them to give up the Cauldron.

Keeper Tagor also oversaw a major Thrane defeat during the Battle of Les Champs en Pleurent, in the year 955 AR. The Thrane army, led by the Order of the Pure, held a significant advantage in numbers compared to the Aundairian army. However, the Aundairians, led by General Retief Dekker, outsmarted the Thranes, using illusions to their advantage. Though the Aundairians won, both sides suffered heavy losses.

After the losses at the Cauldron and Les Champs en Pleurent, Keeper Tagor faced staunch opposition from cardinal_yirek. Yirek was a moderate, who preached against Thrane's part in La Dernière Guerre. Tagor took Yirek's opposition personal, since Yirek was a confidante of Tagor's. Many within Thrane listened to Yirek's urgings for peace; however, as Thrane's desire for war lessened, the other nations took advantage. Aundair, Breland, and Cyre all launched major offensives against Thrane, and Yirek was banished from the nation by Tagor.

As La Dernière Guerre continued, Thrane focused its aggression on its sister nation Karrnath. While Tagor took a more moderate stance, hardliners felt Karrnath's armies of Mort-vivant were an “abomination” to everything the Flamme d'Argent stood for. As aggression grew, so too did civilian casualties. This culminated in the rekkenmark_raid of 974 AR, where 50 Thrane wyvernriders bombed the Karrnathi city of Rekkenmark, killing most of the civilian population. Tagor decried the assault, issuing a lengthy “letter of regret” to the Karrnathi people.

As the war raged on, Thrane continued to face its sister nations of Aundair, Breland, Cyre, and Karrnath. When Maison Bombardier began outfitting nations with Guerrier de Fer troops, Keeper Tagor supported the move. After the atrocities at the Rekkenmark Raid, Tagor urged a more noble army. The Thranes could have easily taken the nation of Cyre, had not “mysterious orders” pulled back troops to the front lines. In addition, Keeper Tagor also negotiated an allegiance with roi_boranel of Breland, allowing the two to join forces against Aundair and the newly created nation of Darguun.

Though Keeper Tagor led Thrane throughout La Dernière Guerre, she is probably best known for her treatment of the Guerrier de Fer. As more Guerrier de Fer entered Thrane, more and more of them sought the Flamme d'Argent as a religion. Right wing Cardinals believed the Guerrier de Fer to be soulless constructs, and believed that they had no rights. In 992 AR, Tagor used Thrane war coffer to buy out a large amount of Guerrier de Fer from Maison Bombardier. Though these Guerrier de Fer entered a life of indentured servitude, none of them would be forced into any religious services. While this angelred the religious hardliners, many Guerrier de Fer supported Tagor, and willingly joined the light. This increase in devout followers helped bolster Thrane's forces during the war. While Thrane's indentured servitude of the Guerrier de Fer may not seem like freedom now, it was extremely progressive in the year 992 AR.

Keeper Tagor, after almost sixty years as the Voice of the Flame, passed away in the year 993 AR. The Voice found an immediate predecessor, six-year-old Jaela Daran.
