Sirimiti was a legendary sorceress, that lived during the Ice Age of Dominaria.
Description
As he lay dying, the 400-year-old wizard Pharon rambled about how King Kjeld stole Sirimiti from him. He then went on to describe her exactly as a master of crystalline magic, using natural and artificial stones as focal points for her spells. Ice being water turned to crystal, Sirimiti did well for herself during the age of ice.[1]
She arrived at the then-capital of Kjeld from somewhere in the north on an enormous sled made of lengths of feldspar, drawn by a team of pure white dire wolves. Having heard tales of the skilled wizards serving King Kjeld, she came south to test the mettle of these favored practitioners of the arcane arts. In short order she bested some of the best-known sorcerers in the land: Sparkfell, Ezni Orimander, and Gund the Gemcutter all tried their hands against her and succumbed. Only Pharon managed to best her, using a slow plant growth spell to entangle rather than anything flashy that she would have countered.[1]
After their duel, they became lovers, but at one point, King Kjeld forced Pharon to choose between the love of Sirimiti and serving the throne of Kjeldor. Pharon chose the latter, and Sirimiti left him for good. In his elder days, Pharon bitterly regretted that choice. On his deathbed, Pharon realized that he could no longer sense Sirimiti, implying that she too may have died sometime earlier.[1]
However, according to one legend, she was still alive years later, long after the Thaw had set in. According to the myths, she was at that point sailing a flying ship held aloft by levitating blue carnelian gemstones. According to the story, this led to an island named Corbye supposedly being launched into the air by using too many of these flying gemstones, resulting in the creation of the Null Moon. This story is an established falsehood, as the real creation of the Null Moon is well known, so Sirimiti's presence in this tale may also be completely fictional, even though the sorceress herself appears to have been real.[2]
