Astras is the single mother of Cerau. She was present at the start of Cerau’s schooling, recognizing Commander Lynerius and his dark dragon ward. She expressed concern about Hayze attending the Temple alongside her and the other parents’ children, referring to Hayze as a ‘thing’.

Astras is a poor servant to her wealthy mother, Lady Ceris, who pays for Cerau’s education. Ceris works her daughter to the bone, leaving her with almost no time for her son. This impacts Astras significantly, as she loves her son and wants to be there as he grows up.

Despite paying for Cerau’s education, Ceris refuses to cover any of Astras’ other costs such as their home, food, and caretakers, forcing her to spend every coin she earns as soon as she earns it.
