Kasmina studies at the monastery of Theothol under the tutelage of monks and scholars that belong to The Order of Heaven's Vault. The Order's purpose is theological academia; they strive to piece together a true picture of the gods by unraveling all of the competing legends that evolved over the centuries. Kasmina has always been told she was a demigoddess, but she never knew her father; she isn't sure if he was truly a god, or what kind of god he might have been. Was he Redhammer, adept of the forge, as worshiped in the Westhold? Could he have been Lukan the Sage, angel of sorcery and the unseen from the Eastern Reach? Had her father been Avloth, the elven god of earthquakes? Or was he some undiscovered god of the ancient Arkenians, lost to modern eyes when that empire fell?
