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 (mythology)|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. | 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.

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. To this end She later emerged with the epithet 'the Enlightened'. | At some point, the Goddess once again returned to the Crystal Plane and its [[Kx'Khrah]] people.

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. | 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]].

In 805, Lorielan appeared at a debate for the [[Worlds' Fair]] along with Her fellow Elder, Lord Twilight, in a surprise to all onlookers. She made the case that Her punishment regarding the Triumvirate's actions was just. Notably at this time was the presence of many Divine felt throughout the land - Neraeos, Vastar, and Aegis were also in the realms then. | |||
