Devoured by the Source of Knowledge in the Year 407, the Goddess once known as the Ultraist, Lady of Knowledge and Mystery - Niuri - is no more. With Her essence shredded and dispersed throughout the ley after Ivoln's great betrayal, the Goddess dwelt a near-century in this fractured state, tortured and driven to the brink of madness by knowledge unending and the Source's impossible gift.

No more does She go by the name of Niuri - a moniker She shuns and reviles in the modern era. In Her place presides Lexadhra, the Indelible Goddess.

She alone has bestrode the past in its entirety, uncovered every secret, solved every mystery, and heard every story spun a thousand times and more. In the guise of five Elder Gods did She bring to bear Her reformation, reborn by sheer force of will as a Virtue - sovereign to the realm of memory.

Cursed as She is with nigh omniscience of the past and all its bloody histories, Lexadhra yearns for new experiences, fresh sagas and tales to slake Her unending appetite for story. She thirsts for heroes and hungers for villains, drawn to individuals whose lives will become storied legends, their legacies permanent, their mark on history's weave undisputed.

Caring little for morality or honour, the Goddess prizes fame and infamy in equal measure. She finds the dramas of life and death, Shadow and Spirit, the perfect springboard for intrigue and histrionics. She eschews traditional values or tenets in favour of one singular demand: be interesting.

Entertain Her with the melodrama of existence and all that is inspired from it. The dull and the meek will find no favour with the Indelible Goddess, nor does She endorse peace; to be at rest is death, and the greatest of fables are wrought in times of revolution and conflict.
