Niela Braeloren is the wizard Hermedhie, and has recently aligned herself with Medoere and Ruornil?s Celestial Spell.

The Wizard Hermedhie has been Diemed's source regent since long before the birth of Medoere. Historically, she has used her magic to defend Diemed from the periodic assaults perpetrated by The Spider. Despite the fact that Diemed's eastern provinces recently declared their independence, she has nonetheless aided them against several small incursions from the 'Fell. Some say that Hermedhie's defense of the fledgling Theocracy has been a source of great friction between her and Diemed's ruler and rumor has it that there was a heated argument and some sort of ultimatum.

Regardless of this supposed ultimatum -- or perhaps because of it -- Hermedhie recently accepted a formal position in the Theocracy as the Archpriestess' Court Wizard.

Hermedhie's actual identity is a matter of some debate. She appears to a stately woman, perhaps in her 50's. She has stark white hair and three parallel scars running down the left side of her face. Some believe her to be Niela Braeloren. Others whisper she is the former Duke's unacknowledged half-sister.
