Meet the Phoenix Family

Three makers. One living realm. Countless stories waiting to be given form.

We are Lady Phoenix, Willow Phoenix, and Marek Phoenix, the family of artists, storytellers, and makers behind Ashara Phoenix.

Together, we create leather dragons, earrings, Vaeli butterflies, Phoenix Hats, Energy Sweeps, and other artifacts inspired by the five realms of Ashara.

Every piece begins at our family worktable. We choose the leather, follow its colors and markings, and discover what it is waiting to become. Some artifacts emerge in small gatherings. Others appear only once.

Each carries a story.

Each belongs somewhere within Ashara.

And each is made by the hands of the Phoenix Family.

Where the Story Began

Ashara began with a small handmade leather dragon.

From that first dragon grew something much larger: five realms, ancient Orders, hidden histories, Vaeli carrying memories between the lands, and the Phoenix who records what Ashara chooses to remember.

Lady Phoenix brought that world to the page as author C.L. Mithren, creating The Chronicles of Ashara. Willow Phoenix and Marek Phoenix helped bring it into the physical world, where dragons and artifacts could be held, worn, gifted, and carried into new homes.

The stories and the handmade creations now exist together.

The books reveal the world.

The artifacts give it form.

The Phoenix Archive preserves the connection between them.

The Phoenix Family

Lady Phoenix

Founder, Author, Artist, and Keeper of the Archive

Lady Phoenix is the creator of Ashara and the author behind C.L. Mithren. She writes the lore, develops the five realms, designs the collections, and transforms reclaimed leather into dragons and artifacts.

As Keeper of the Phoenix Archive, she records the stories and meaningful moments that continue to shape the realm.

Willow Phoenix

Maker and Apprentice of the Archive

Willow Phoenix creates alongside Lady Phoenix, bringing her own imagination and creative spirit to the family worktable. She helps give form to the dragons, earrings, Vaeli, and unexpected discoveries that emerge from Ashara.

Her pieces carry the mark:

Marek Phoenix brings his own ideas, hands, and perspective to the making of Ashara’s artifacts. His work becomes part of the growing Archive, adding another voice to the world our family is building together.

Made by Our Family

Our artifacts are created primarily from reclaimed Italian leather. Every hide arrives with its own texture, markings, colors, and history.

We work in small quantities, guided by the material we have rather than a production schedule. A single piece of leather may become several dragons, a small gathering of earrings, and a Vaeli formed from what remains.

This means exact repeats are rare. Even matching pieces carry small variations from the hands that shaped them and the leather from which they emerged.

That individuality is part of their story.

The Five Realms

Every dragon and artifact is connected to one of the five realms:

Pyraeth, Realm of Fire
Mirelen Drift, Realm of Water
Kaldros Deep, Realm of Stone
Aeralis Reach, Realm of Air
Athera, the Vale of Ashara

The Vaeli travel among them, carrying the imprint of meaningful choices so those moments remain within Ashara’s memory.

Some people choose a realm because of its colors. Others feel drawn to the strength, lesson, or energy it represents. There is no wrong way to discover where you belong.

The Phoenix Archive

Every artifact chosen by a Keeper receives its own permanent Phoenix Archive entry number.

That number belongs to the individual piece. It records where the artifact came from, who created it, and the moment it left our family’s hands to begin its journey with yours.

Even when two artifacts emerge from the same leather, each receives its own entry. From the moment they find their Keepers, their stories begin to travel in different directions.

The Phoenix records the story.
The Keeper carries it forward.

Welcome to Ashara

When you choose an artifact from Ashara Phoenix, you are receiving something made by a family, connected to a realm, and preserved within a story that continues to grow.

We are the Phoenix Family.

And the record remains open.
