Personal history
There is much about Halcyonic Priestess that is unknown. What is known is during the choatic times after the Demons were bound to The Outer Dark humans were a lost species. They had been held as property like a beast of burden. They possessed no sense of history or education. Those dark times were filled with small petty despots trying to mimic the Demon Lords of old.
Then came a woman who taught a small village how to record the stories of their oral traditions. She would go from community to community bringing knowledge of reading and writing with her. For the first time humanity had a way to preserve and pass down knowledge. This led to societal and cultural changes that led to the founding of the first true system of government for humanity. The Kingdom of Favel.
She was seen for nine generations according to the earliest records of the Kingdom of Favel. She was present at the official Coronation of King Yusu, the second Monarch of Favel. According the histories she left the castle in the middle of the night. In her rooms was a single note that read. "Purpose Fulfilled".
