Baron Shrike was the leader of Lainlyn as earliest as 3E 405. He ruled his domain with an iron fist and bullied his people through the Host of the Horn, the sworn protectors of Lainlyn. His actions were greatly disapproved, among them was the court healer, Br'itsa, but especially from his younger brother, Lord Kain. Because of this, Lord Kain and Lord Harth created the Knights of the True Horn, to eventually overthrow the Baron. Lord Harth is against the Baron for unknown personal reasons.

Sometime later, Lord Kain and his Knights of the True Horn mustered the strength to dethrone Baron Shrike in a coup d'etat, however, they were annihilated and left mortally defeated. Lord Kain's order had split with the hope that they would reunite, but he later passed away, not long after the battle. The Baron continued to rule over Lainlyn for an unknown amount of time. In 3E 417, the Warp in the West occurred and the Barony of Lainlyn was absorbed into the Kingdom of Sentinel, what became of the Baron during this time is unclear.
