Personal history

Born the only daughter to a family of farmers, Lena of Aurum Vale grew up impoverished in a land under siege from invaders across the sea. When her people knew only strife and hardship, Lena prayed to her gods. As a child she would often dream of signs from above, hints at upcoming changes and actions she needed to take. She learned quickly to keep these visions to herself as they sometimes caused her to receive negative attention.
As she grew older, Lena matured into a kind young woman that always put others ahead of herself no matter the personal cost. Over time she began to gather a small following to whom she taught lessons on the Five Divines and shared (indirectly) the morals and visions she dreamed of.
When the war started to grow to its peak, Lena became conscripted into the army. Continuing to receive visions of the future from the gods, Lena was able lead her companions to safety on innumerable occasions. As her comrades survived battle after battle due to her leadership Lena's following started growing even faster.
At age 25, once Lena had reached a high level of authority, she received her final vision. She saw a future where if she was unable to defend the pass at Gattic Rock near her home, all of Miras would be destroyed. Weeks spent convincing garrison after garrison culminated in Lena amassing a great army. On the final day, Lena's forces would meet the Shey'in army on the mountain pass as predicted.
Across her career as a soldier Lena became well known to the Shey'in leadership, and as such the enemy general sought her out for single combat. Their battle raged as forced from both side stopped to witness the great warriors' combat. Overpowering her opponent Lena went to land the final blow against the general, but she was struck suddenly from behind by the Arch-demon, Tor. Unknown to her from being obstructed from her visions, the Shey'in general has made a deal with the demon to win the war.
As she fell a great light befell the battlefield along with a legion of angelic, winged warriors who drove away the invaders. After she was laid to rest upon her funeral pyre, a large silvery star was found among her ashes. Those closest to the now canonized Saint Lena would take this star and use it to spread her teachings thus founding the Lenonian Church of The Five Divines.

"As Lena fell from from the Demon's blow, a great light fell upon the battle torn land. The winged warriors, bathed in searing white glow, from beyond came down from the heavens and repelled the forces of darkness"
