The History of the Sanctuary of Dona Cleoperra
as retold by Cianne
Dona Cleoperra was a great Soulmaster of days long past. She was of fair hair and skin, with eyes of deep emerald green. She was well respected, admired and sought after in the city for her healing powers, her only goal in the city was to heal and to rebuild, she possessed no offensive arts. Some say she also had the power to read minds as she often times showed up just when dreamers were under attack by dark mares or other enemies, and she always gave her all to heal, rebuild, and receive their dented shields, though sometimes she would thoroughly exhaust herself in doing so. People often offered her gifts of gratitude or riches to thank her for saving their lives, but she would never accept anything, she just smiled, wished them safe paths, and went on her way.
One stormy evening as she was strolling through Trinity Walk, she heard terrible screams coming from a nearby room, she dashed inside to see her lover Dartanian being horribly mauled by a dreaded Darkmare. She collected her thoughts and cast all her restorative powers onto Dartanian and after a bloody battle, the Mare was finally defeated. Dona, very near death from exhaustion, gathered her strength and crawled to where her lover lay dying from the Mares final blow. Tears streamed down her face as she cradled his head in her hands..she whispered to him.."do not fear my love..all will be well", and kissed him softly on the lips. She looked up to the heavens, closed her eyes, and with her final ounce of strength, she evoked Reweave, speaking.."What I have been blessed with now give unto him." The air around her started to swirl and turn prismatic in bright colors, Dartanian regained his strength, sat up and watched in awe and amazement. Dona was transformed into a billion tiny Emerald crystals, they swirled and shot upwards into the heavens. Dartanian looked upward and smiled..and thanked his love for his life as he wept and he dedicated the room to her honor and deemed it a place of safe respite, The Sanctuary of Dona Cleoperra.
