Meaning and background
The story behind Reya
Reya has a fantasy association through Reya Dawnbringer in Magic: The Gathering. Wizards of the Coast’s official story material recalls her defence of Benalia during the first Phyrexian invasion and identifies Lyra as her successor. Its published decklists also include the card Reya Dawnbringer. These are specific references within the game’s fictional setting, rather than evidence for an Indian name meaning or a historical relationship between Reya and similarly spelled names.
