Her name is Yvonne
A long time ago….
The priestess before you looks at you like she has told you everything you will ever need to know, all wrapped up in a simple little statement."Her name is Yvonne. She was once just like you and me. She was a Fey priestess to Yolanda and then on one fateful day she was gifted with a vision. In the midst of her morning prayers, Yvonne was visited by Savitas, the messenger, and was given the gift of Prophecy. Yvonne told us of the Sleeping Phoenix, which is the world. Through the fire of conflict, we can purge the darkness, and bring about the rebirth of the word. A great war is coming and we the children of Yvonne must stoke the flames of the Phoenix's rebirth. Yvonne needs our help in this. She leads us from the heart of the Frost Wood Forest. The great forest exists as a barrier between the nations of Citadel and Ravila. That is where she is making the final preparations for the coming of Savitas. When Savitas arrives she will bring with her fire and with that fire, the salvation of the world." "Her name is Yvonne."
