Adja

''The woman -- barely more than a girl, really -- stood with slow dignity, like a ribbon unknotting itself. With her motion came a chorus of tiny silver bells, bone beads clattering one upon another, and the hollow ringing of wood upon wood. Peripherally, he noted her long train of hair slipping down to cover her exposed lower back, black water falling over rocks.''

For her crime, her line is divested of its nobility and she is stripped of the title of Protector of Marae Lassel. Her accuser was the Lady of Ithaenc, Lady Adja.
 * Though born millenia after the Light Falatacot left this world, she studied much of their ways, and learned many of their secrets in her life.

 * Founder of the Adjanite Order, who looked upon the Light Falatacot for inspiration ??
 * The Adjanite Order was sometimes referred to as the Adjanite Heresy since some of their tales were not told by the church and also heretical.
