Alisenne Dawnhollow is a 28-year-old Verdanian priestess who grew up in Fawntree, a quiet orchard town in Verdania, where her mother served at the local shrine of Luwanah. From childhood she showed an unusual sensitivity to divine energy: she could feel blessings before they were spoken and once broke a neighbor’s fever with a touch. The temple elders didn’t know what to do with gifts that exceeded their tradition’s scope.

At sixteen she began dreaming of Palangi Sari, and her mother sold a season’s carvings to book her passage south. She arrived at seventeen, walked the Pilgrim’s Ascent to Dewataloka, and entered the Abadi Grove, where she spent three days in a transformative experience that showed her divine energy flowing through all living things like light through roots. The Bidadari told her she wasn’t meant to stay and directed her east to Yangdon.

She spent seven years studying the Path of Radiance at Yangdonese monasteries, starting at the Radiant Heaven Pagoda on Mount Dhazanara. Despite being conspicuously foreign, her earnestness and willingness to do the humblest work won the monks over. They nicknamed her Mani Kyaw, “the jewel that came from far away.”

Now she walks an itinerant path between Yangdon, Palangi Sari, and the wider world as a spiritual emissary bridging both traditions. She wears a revealing white Yangdonese robes and sashes with golden pauldrons blending lotus and sunbeam motifs, a Bidadari-crafted golden halo ornament, and carries a golden staff called the Turas. She offers blessings, tends shrines, mediates disputes, and collects hymns from every culture she passes through, recording them in a leather journal she considers her most important work.
