Through those same views as Lyons, they are called Lyonsouls because a true Lyon lies within their hearts and within their souls. Their task is to protect Lyons Forest and Lyons Family. They are organized by Lyons, but this was very hard decision for the Lyon Court. "The enemy is numerous and if we do not join together to fight these dark times, everything can be lost." - Xatimus quotes from Lyons story "Third Forest War". Strong and brave they can be found in forest and some outsiders were brought to Lyons Forest to join as well. These outsiders are chosen carefully and they can become Lyonsouls only if they earn trust and pass trials. Eventually they become family of the forest because one does not have to be same blood to be a family. There are five paths that a Lyonsoul can chose: Forest Warrior, Forest Agent, Forest Watcher, Sylvan Fury. Greenleaf Lyons and Eilistraeen Lyons have their own page in the main drop down menu.

Forest Warriors are the stronger melee force in Lyons Forest. They are strong and they move in big numbers. Many of them are assigned to accompany other Lyons Forest Inhabitants or other Lyonsouls wherever task leads them, to provide security. Even in so great population, today comparing to time before First Great Forest War, their number is too small. However, over thousands of years spending time near pieces of the Forest Crystal, they became more powerful, and grew in big size.

Forest Agents usually work alone or in pair with another Agent to gather information of possible events that can bring Lyons Forest in danger. From all other, Agents are the most sociable with outsiders, because they spend many time working behind enemy's lines and they gain "city" experience more than any other.

Forest Watchers learns the secrets of Mother Nature. They have important role because without them the Forest would not survive all the events it went through history. When the land feels pain, they feel it too, their skills allowed them to heal wounded areas and all the present life in the Forest. Many of them are gardeners, and while some find it important, other enjoy planting flowers and decorating natural objects and with it the Nature itself. Some suspect that without them the Forest would die long time ago, and that their work reaches far beyond the edges of their Forest. Forest Watcher even travels to other lands to heal them, and when they come home, they can even bring individuals who have strong potential to become Forest Watchers. Some of the Forest Watcher are older more than few thousand of years, they know history, but they find themselves easily lost in city environment which if happens they can easily die. They see everyone else as outsider or stranger, while they are wise and charismatic, it is very hard to become friend with them, they are the one who usually chose who will be their friend. Forest Watchers are considered as most valuable part of Lyonsouls so it is strictly recommended for them to stay home or to travel with companion. Some Forest Watchers have power to see the future, such is to them known vision of Lyons Arrival to the forest that Wood Sister predicted after death of their Forest Leader Synph.

Not everything is black and white, and there are those who go that far the limits of the nature laws. Extremely rare individuals who are not afraid to release the most dangerous wrath of the nature upon their foe, with goal to protect the Forest. Such is the path of Forest Fury. Able to go that far and to pull themselves back to straight path is difficult, but once the one masters the control he does not become the threat to the Forest anymore. Furies are direct and can act hostile quicker than any other inhabitants of the Forest. Forest Fury is rare kind of Lyonsouls in the Lyons Forest and the youngest comparing to Watchers, Agents and Warriors. Birth of the Furies was First Great Forest War where the individuals studied attackers from the evil fey hag. " What weapon is there better to defeat the enemy than their own? " Furies did not exist during the rule of Forest Hero Synph, but after his death. Many Furies fail in their task to become useful for the Forest, and quickly fall to the lure of evil which turns them against everyone. If it happens to more experienced, older and stronger Fury, it can bring to serious damage of the Forest, but if other Furies notice that one is about to become evil they turn on her/him and remove the threat as soon as possible. Unlike other forest beings who tend to be good and like that they limit their actions, Forest Fury does not have her hands tied in chains. She/he will do about anything for the safety of the forest, even if that means they need to make their hands and soul dirty. Giving eye contact with Forest Fury is considered as serious insult and can easily lead to hostility. Because of that it is strongly recommended for outsiders to avoid Furies if they are that unlucky to meet one. With so short time of existence in Lyons Forest, Furies earned respect really quickly. They are friendly to entire Lyons Forest and one rarely leaves Forest ever. Because they grow in great power for short time, they easy become immune on negative effect of Dnylis fruit and can process big amount of information for short period of time, just like they do with their powers.

She developed her use of magic very fast, and uses staff made from the forest crystals that empowered her use of arcane on whole new level. Zata had very powerful ice spells, like summoning ice meteors from sky and controlling weathers. She is available as powerful companion to Lyons, when she asks help from Ashen Lyon to kill Behur Hag Hazelta. However Ashen refuses to help, and in this task alone she dies to defeat the bheur hag. The crystal staff falls in wrong hands, and Behur Hag takes over south part of the forest, swallowing it in cold.
