Heralda

Ancient champion and hero of the Westfal Empire who emerged near the end of The Time Of Darkness.
She was infused with the power of Serenrae and used this to defeat the darkness around her, forming the first vestiges of The Empire in the process.

'Her sword was long, her shield was strong: Heralda, Fight the darkness'

— (Westfal evening prayer)

It is said she was slain seven times by the Witch Queen. Each time Serenae brought Heralda back to the fight. Each time she rose from death she was more powerful, and in her final 7th form she managed to best the Witch Queen and strike her down.
