A Celestian of ages past, given form as a being of the deep woods, the Green Lady is worshipped as a goddess by the Druid Order, who lend their great power to her armies. Manifesting as a ghostly maid, tall as an oak and swift as a falcon, the Lady oft uses her powers to heal her loyal subjects. Yet her beautiful form belies the terrible ferocity that lies barely skin deep, waiting to be unleashed. Those who would defile the ancient realms of the [[Sylvan Kin]] must brave the wrath of the Green Lady. She is at once the warm summer sun and the howling winter gale; the giver of life and the reaper of souls. | A Celestian of ages past, given form as a being of the deep woods, the Green Lady is worshipped as a goddess by the Druid Order, who lend their great power to her armies.

Karinna insisted they speak somewhere more private and [[Reiliur Ythril]] led her, [[Valandor]], [[Calisor Fenulian]] and [[Kyron]] to the [[Scartlet Sanctum]] with Calisor staying outside the to ensure the Sanctum didnt accidently lock them inside. Once inside, the group discussed the intention to grow a grove of [[Sahlirian Trees|Sahlirian Tree]] and offer the mortal races the gift of immortality which would mean they would become similar to Celestians in both power and magic. They planned to keep the grove hidden both due it taking generations for the fruit to be ready to harvest and the risk of driving the shorter lived races to conflict to obtain the fruit sooner than they should. | |||
[[Kyron]] was assigned to look for the location for this grove as he was regarded as one of the [[Celestians]] greatest explorers with Karinna expressing that the sooner they plant the seed, sooner that death can be lifted from Pannithor. | |||

{{Riseofthecelestianslogo}} 5 years later, after giving Kyron the last fruit from the [[Sahlirian Tree]] that Katrinna brought through, Kyron continued to travel Pannithor for a good location for the grove location. Kyron would then come across a dragon graveyard and save [[Draumdraak]] life by giving him the last fruit. | |||
Even though this would save Draumdraak's life and grant him an abnormally long lifespan, it also meant that the grove would have wait until the next group of [[Celestians]] brought through more fruit of the [[Sahlirian Tree]] in 95 years time. | |||

{{Riseofthecelestianslogo}} 42 years later, Karinna observed afar a battle between [[Ophidia]] and [[Primovantor]], she would recall the moment where [[Oskan (Celestian)|Oskan]] sided with Ophidia and defied [[Mescator (Celestian)|Mescator]]. With Oskan on their side, the Ophidians grew in power and confidence, which eventually exploded into open war against Primovator. As senseless as she found war, she couldn't praise Mescator in his striving for peace at any cost, as this was due to Mescator being wounded by Oskan's defection rather than a planned out strategy. | |||
New to the concept of war, Karinna decided to see the devastation herself. She observed thousands of dead at a place known as the [[Five Hills]] and watched a beaten [[Primovantor]] army limping away from a victorious [[Ophidia]] army. As she continued to watch, she saw Ophidian Necromancers picking out corpses that they desired, then sacrificing imprisoned [[Elves]] to bring the end back to life. The Ophidian officers began to arm the newly resurrected bodies. | |||
Suddenly, [[Oskan (Celestian)|Oskan's]] voice entered Karinna's mind. Karinna looked towards the tents of [[Ophidia]], one had the symbol of Oskan (Dragon and Stallion on a purple field) and replied back to him telepathically. Oskan attempted to defend [[Tothmenes]] however Karinna pointed out Ophidia's desire for greed rather than it being in defence of their people. Karinna reached into her bag and removed a fistful of acorns from it, throwing them down the hill. She sped them up using her magic and the seeds planted themselves while she poured magic into them. Suddently mighty oaks rapidly grew around the Ophidian Necromancers with the newly risen undead being torn apart by the rising oaks, resulting in a newly born forest. | |||
Karinna rested against the earth, tired by the power she had used but happy over the forest blocking the path of the [[Ophidia]] army from the retreating [[Primovantor]] army. She saw [[Oskan (Celestian)|Oskan]] leave his tent and signal to his troops. A [[Salamander]] began waving his arms around and suddenly lava bubbled from beneath the land which started to destory the forest. As the Ophidian's cheered the burning forest and began to move towards the Primovator retreating forces after the ground cooled.

The Green Lady, also known as Karinna, is a celestian who has merged with the wicked and shining sides of Liliana and was the only Celestian to not split in half when the Fenulian Mirror was shattered.
About
A Celestian of ages past, given form as a being of the deep woods, the Green Lady is worshipped as a goddess by the Druid Order, who lend their great power to her armies. Manifesting as a ghostly maid, tall as an oak and swift as a falcon, the Lady oft uses her powers to heal her loyal subjects. Yet her beautiful form belies the terrible ferocity that lies barely skin deep, waiting to be unleashed. Those who would defile the ancient realms of the Sylvan Kin must brave the wrath of the Green Lady. She is at once the warm summer sun and the howling winter gale; the giver of life and the reaper of souls.

Edge of the Abyss
In the year 3850 while The Green Lady rested within the Forest of Galahir, jumping from form-to-form, she began to feel a force stirring. The Green Lady attempted to push it to the back of her mind. She could feel rock and earth being ripped apart from the expanding of the Abyss and it swallowing the land above. Her mind snapped back to her mortal form as a great fire from the abyss swamped her mind and she fell to the floor.
Concerned, one of her Naiad followers ran over to her to aid her and asked her what was wrong. The Green Lady told her that the Abyss was growing.
Later, she came upon a gathering of Centaurs, two of them Chiefian Flaxhoof and his brother Greyfur were arguing over if they should care for the lands of men due to the invasion of the Forces of the Abyss. Surprising the group, all the Centaurs bent a knew to the lady. The Green lady thanked Flaxhoof for his service to her over the years and requested that he stand beside her during the coming conflict.
She told the group that there was a more pressing matter than the Forces of the Abyss, Goblins (unknowningly to them, led by Grogger Split-tooth) were coming down from the Mammoth Steppes, stopping in front of Greyfur she reminded him that it is not only the lands of men that are under threat.
The Green lady would later appear before Artakl's clan and showed them a terrible vision of the invading forces of evil that is currently threatening pannithor including turning The Three Kings to dust.

Dillen was met with judgement from the creatures of the Forest of Galahir, unhelped by the fact he was wearing clothing mad from skin of once living creatures, until The Green Lady appears and adcised that Dillen was to be instructed in their ways.

After providing assistance, Dillen would leave the Basileans forces and join the newly formed Order of the Green Lady for the rest of the war and beyond.
End of the Edge of the Abyss
A short while later, she would gather the forces of good to inform them of the plan to end the war with the abyss.
In the Forest of Galahir, The Green Lady touched the mind of a Thuul Mythican who was part of a group of Mythicans who were using their making to begin the flooding of of the abyss and to end the current conflict.

The Deepwater Crusade
During The Deepwater Crusade, The Green Lady and Brave Kyron were meeting in a distant sacred grove which was inaccessable to mortals when an image of the Trident King, Myrroq appeared before them.

The image disappeared quickly after delivering his message, ending in a grimace of pain from Myrroq.
Brave Kyron knew that the Black Axe of Oskan Father of Lies had been reformed with its final piece being thrown into The Great Deep to protect it from Oskan. If Oskan got hold of this last piece, the Wicked Ones would escape from The Abyss. The Green Lady had been focused by a growing power in the East that she could not see and if Oskan got out, she feared the world would not be able to survive.
The Green Lady advised Brave Kyron to take messages far and wide, including to the other Shining Ones at the Mountain of Kolosu and her sister in the north, that Oskan Father of Lies needed to be stopped. Brave Kyron opened a portal and left to deliver the message.
Rumors
It is whispered by some that the reason the Elves refuseto be drawn upon the nature of the Green Lady is thatshe is in fact a being of deep contradiction, her darkside hidden from the world at large. Some claim thather powers come at a cost, that she must take a mortallover who after seven years must be slain as an offeringto the secret forces that underpin the world and drivethe workings of the earth.
Other dark lore claims thatthe Green Lady is but one facet of a twin being that mortals are only able to perceive in the most occult ofways. These forbidden texts suggest that another being,the opposite of the Green Lady, exists, somewhere in the Utterdark, the antithetical embodiment of all she standsfor. Perhaps one day the servants of the Fallen Ones –the Twilight Kin, the Abyssal Dwarfs or others – will learn how to call this dark twin forth from her hiding place, and then surely, the age of mortals shall come to an end.
