Paleda, the Warrior

Paleda, the Warrior is one of the fifty named Fayne in The Yugen, known now as "The Warrior" due to her success in battles and her place at the head of Queen Ohre's military. She is considered one of the sixteen most important Fayne in history, as evidenced by the month Palee being named in her honor, as well as the day Eda.

Those she is the Patron Fayne of often become successful soldiers or war strategists.

In The Yugen
In Yugen lore, she is known to be the right-hand woman of Ohre, oftentimes "disciplining" those who opposed or seemed to have intent to harm her in any way. What her disciplining methods are have been the subject of intense scholarly debate: some claim that Ohre—considered a generally benevolent spirit—would never allow one of her warriors to harm anyone without true cause, even those that sought to cause her difficulty. However, others point out that Paleda is indeed known as "the Warrior," and likely used force (and possibly even murder) in order to keep the masses in line.

She is also known to have had a famous rivalry with Adelap, the Betrayed, and is considered the cause of Adelap's title being "the Betrayed." Apparently, soon before the exodus of the Fayne, Paleda and Adelap—who had been one of many soldier-Fayne—went on a special mission to vanquish a monster from the border between Tarye and Rie (now known as "Moori"). They soon found themselves ambushed a horde of monsters, as well as some bandits that seemed to be in cahoots with the creatures. Though Paleda and Adelap were considered some of the best Faynian soldiers, Adelap was gravely injured in their attempts to kill the beasts. Paleda, seeming to fear harm to herself, left him at the border, where it is assumed he later died.

Paleda was later chastised for her decision and spent fifty years in exile (not a particularly long time for Fayne, considering their lifespan, but still lengthy by any means), the story seeming to act as a parable for soldiers to never leave a man behind.

Honorifics
Paleda is honored as one of the sixteen Fayne who have months named after them, as well as being one of the Fiver Fayne, whom the days of the week are named after. Soldiers often wear necklaces or other tokens with her insignia on them.
