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 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.
With the Blight of Babel reaching to the crystal realm, Lorielan traveled to her realm and to help stop it. With the destruction of the Miramar, Pentharian, Tarah, and Mithrea. Lorielan was the only god left of the Te'Serra Alliance. With the desperate pleas of the cities of Shallam for her return. In the year 612AF the lady returned with the intentions of wanting nothing to do with the Prime Material Realm, Shallam, or the continuting assault of Bal'met. She cast aside her title of the Enlightened. her order, and declared the Te'Serra Alliance annuled, and retook her past title of the Jade Empress and returned to the crystal realm to rule.
