Lorielan, the Jade Empress held the domain as Goddess of Knowledge, and was a member of the esteemed Te'Serra Alliance.
History
Lorielan is one of the Elder Gods from the early days of Creation. She took no realm and was loved by Proteus, leader of the Elder Gods. During the War of Humanity, She plotted with Khalas and Agatheis to overthrow Proteus. When Their Triumvirate failed, Lorielan was sentenced to exile in the Crystal Plane, where She ruled for three millennia as the Jade Empress. In the Modern Age, Lorielan repented of Her sins and was forgiven by Sarapis, Who allowed Her to leave the Crystal Plane. She became the Goddess of Knowledge, later taking on the mantle of Enlightenment.
At some point, the Goddess once again returned to the Crystal Plane and its Kx'Khrah people. During Her stay there, She became dissatisfied with the neutrality and moral ambiguity of that realm; She no longer wished to merely accumulate knowledge and turned Her focus instead on analysing and using the information She had attained. Her time spent in introspection gave Her a desire to ensure Knowledge was being used to benefit others. This has created a natural alliance between Her ideals and the concepts of Light, Righteousness, and Virtue.
In the year 476 AF, She returned from the Crystal Plane, concerned by the rebirth of Babel and the subsequent resurgence of Chaos in Achaea. Despite having returned, She maintained aloof to ideologies dissimilar to Hers - although adventurers who are both intelligent and deeply devoted to Good were able to gain the Lady's notice.
Around the turn of the 7th century the blight of Babel reached to the crystal realm and Lorielan traveled there for a time to turn it aside. With the rise of Bal'met in 610, Lorielan soon became the last Divine of the Te'Serra Alliance. A Shallamese summoning ritual in Siorraidh saw Her brief appearance, but their cries fell on deaf ears. Before the supplicants she named Herself Jade Empress once more, retiring to the Crystal Plane and abandoning the Prime Material plane for good.
