Once a guildmaster of the Serpentlords Guild, Elentari Lokelinde-Danial who, by the grace of Sarapis, ascended into a Goddess. She is known as Ourania, Goddess of the Moon. Though She had transcended mortality, the newly risen divinity retained Her mortal affinity for the northern city of Hashan, and continues to lead and shape it even to modern times. Her realm is part of the Supernal Triad, though the strength of Her bonds with the other members of the Triad has lessened over the course of the ages.

Many years after She had ascended, the Goddess Ourania retreated to a protected place beneath the Eastern Ocean to sleep. Decades passed, and those dedicated to Her ways struggled to preserve the old faith. It was not until the year 385 AF that the Goddess reawakened, rising from beneath the oceans, and resuming Her place within the garden of the gods. It is said that as She arose, She shed a single tear of regret for Her underwater refuge, and that that tear was caught and preserved by Neraeos, God of the Sea. That lone teardrop, shed by the moon and nurtured by the sea, eventually grew to become Kastalia, Goddess of Lakes and Rivers.

Ourania, ever an enigmatic and elusive Goddess, is worshipped by a divine order that looks to Her for guidance and understanding. She is called the lamp-bearer, the revealer of the way, and it is said that great wisdom can be achieved from dedication to Her. She governs the interaction between imagination and inspiration, taking joy in originality and change. A Goddess of both light and of darkness, She is neither good nor evil nor neutral. She is as She chooses to be, as quick to create as to destroy, and as quick to curse as to bless.

In the year 425 AF, during the triple eclipse of the sun, the Lady was attacked by the minions of Prince Slith. Those minions were quickly dispatched, but some damage was done, and She retains no small malice towards the undead prince.
