Jevyan (also known as Lich-Lord Jevyan) was one of the Wesfolk leaders who became a Lich-Lord. To defend himself against the kingdoms of the Green Isle, he retaliated by opening gateways for armies of orcs to pour through. He laid siege to Southbay and discovered that one of its inhabitants, Prince Haldric had the Ruby of Fire, a powerful artifact which had once been in the possession of the Lich-Lords.
He attempted to seize the Ruby of Fire, but Haldric defeated his forces and fled east to the Great Continent. Jevyan's familiar spied upon Haldric during the voyage, allowing Jevyan to follow them. Upon arriving on the shore of the Great Continent, a portion of Jevyan's forces seized the coast to prevent further human refugees from landing, but were later defeated.
Haldric attacked Jevyan and his forces, Jevyan no longer able to sense the Ruby of Fire. Through the sacrifice of Commander Aethyr, Haldric persuaded Jevyan that he had sold the ruby to the elves. Haldric eventually managed to slay Jevyan and vanquish all but one of his orcish warlords.

Purging the Green Isle
| King Addroran, your day is done. Prepare to be ground to dust. If you’re lucky I may raise you from death for my own amusement. |
| —The Lich-Lord Jevyan threatens King Addroran. |
Before transforming into a lich, Jevyan was one of the Wesfolk, and migrated with them from the Old Continent to the Green Isle. After the Wesfolk War, the remaining Wesfolk were pushed onto more marginal lands in the northwest, while Jevyan resided within his haven. After the Second Crown Prince of Southbay pursued another war against the Wesfolk, Jevyan and the other remaining Lich-Lords believed that, if they were to survive, that they would need to open gateways to the distant west, allowing hordes of orcs to pass through.[1][2]
Jevyan commanded armies of orcs, causing the human Wesfolk to flee.[2] Taking revenge for Wesfolk War, he killed the Crown Prince of Southbay and reanimated his body.[3] He began to take over the Green Isle, destroying first Stormvale,[4] then the Midlands,[5] and then moved towards taking Clearwater Port and Southbay.[6] Once in Southbay, he threatened to kill its king, Addroran IX, and reanimate his body.[3]
