Kin , a changeling born in the Eldeen Reaches among the Greensinger druids , serves as Thelania's courtier and envoy. He knows different paths between Thelanis and Eberron . [1]

She claims to have many agents in the world of Eberron , and may be channeled through them to relay her messages. [1]
Abilities
The Queen of Dusk and Shadows is a mighty being of Thelanis. Thelania may assume the forms of humanoids and has powerful shapechanging abilities reflecting her trickster nature. [1]
Appendix
Background
There are hints of a connection between the sphinx prophet Flamewind of Sharn and Thelania in The Dreaming Dark Trilogy . Flamewind refers to Daine as "Daine with no family name" in The City of Towers and Thelania does as well in The Gates of Night and he picks up on this.
Keith Baker has suggested on his website that Thelania would be considered an archfey and may be manipulating events in The Gates of Night and Son of Khyber to play out her particular story. She also has some awareness of the Draconic Prophecy . Moreover, Thelania shares some similarities, such as shapechanging and giving cursed gifts, with The Traveler , the Sovereign of Chaos and Change of the Dark Six . [2]
