Rise of Iron has given us the opportunity to put many of our favorite Iron Lord's stories to rest. Today we will be discussion Finnala, whose peril was a mark of lordship.
According to "Dormant Siva: Iron Lords 2.4" Finnala did not fear death. The card saying this:
[quote]Finnala always says she doesn’t mind dying, because it doesn’t last. A few seconds and then the Light comes, bright and warm. And she rises again.[/quote]
This could reveal that she was a Sunsinger warlock, since Sunsingers are the only class whom have the ability to self resurrection. Looking through the meaning of the name, I've found more evidence to prove it.
The name "Finnala" means nothing, but "Finella" does. It is the anglicized version of "Fionualla", which means "white shoulder". This doesn't prove my point, but the other part of the name does.
[quote]In Irish legend Fionnuala was one of the four children of Lir who were transformed into swans for a period of 900 years.[/quote]
Notice the swan part. This may be a far stretch, but look at a sunsinger warlock with the perk that lets them freeze in air when they zoom in. They have wings. This is just a far stretch that's a product of little information, so you don't have to believe it.
Edit: It could always just be about respawning, so that's a bit of a stretch. A lot of a stretch.
Little is known about Finnala, except for Iron Lords 2.4. I hope you enjoyed, and have a nice day.

The Self Res makes way more sense as a Phoenix than a Swan. So much so that the "rising from the ashes wings" come from the Solar subclass, just like a Phoenix is depicted as a bird made of fire... nothing like a swan or reference at all if you ask me
