Lorielan, the Enlightened, was one of the Elder Goddesses in 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 this Triumvirate failed, Lorielan was sentenced to exile in the Crystal Plane, where she ruled for three millennia as the Jade Queen. 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 retreated to the Kx'Khrah and the Crystal Plane. 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 to analysing and using the information she had attained. Her time spent in introspection gave Her a desire to ensure Knowledge was used to benefit others. This has created a natural alliance with the concepts of Light, Righteousness and Virtue.

In the year 476AF, She returned from the Crystal Plane, concerned by the rebirth of Babel and the subsequent resurgence of Chaos in Achaea. Despite having returned, it is said that She maintains an aloof and apathetic attitude towards things that are dissimilar to Her ideals - although adventurers who are both intelligent and deeply devoted to Good are able to gain the Lady's notice.
