Calmseer
A Returned goddess of the Hallandren court who mentored Lightsong in his earliest weeks after his own Return — the one Returned he ever knew, he now thinks, who came closest to actually being divine. She was genuinely kind to her followers, without the courtly arrogance, and in the end answered a petition and gave up her life. STD:WB:Ch 46
A Returned goddess Lightsong once slept with, whom he remembers privately as the last honourable Returned the city has known. She does not appear on the page; she is named in his thoughts after Blushweaver presses him on why he will lie with Calmseer but never with her. STD:WB:Ch 7 superseded at STD:WB:Ch 46
Known facts
- ultimately-answered-a-petitionFor all the kindness she showed her followers, Calmseer felt she could never live up to what the people demanded of a goddess. In Lightsong's reading of her, that was why she finally answered a petitioner's plea and gave up her Returned life — the only way she could think of to be the goddess they wanted.STD:WB:Ch 46
