She Returned without memories of her previous life or the vision of her daughter's potential death. It would be some time before her daughter caught the disease, and so Calmseer spent several years in the Court of Gods. Her duties included listening to petitions and judging works of art, but she also took Lightsong under her wing and helped him adjust to life as a Returned.{{book ref|wb|47}} |

⚫ | Some years before the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]], she fulfilled her duties as a Returned and sacrificed her divine Breath in order to heal a young girl. Lightsong believes that, after years of listening to and denying petitions, she did so out of guilt. Actually the request Calmseer grants is the reason she Returned in the first place: the petitioner was Calmseer's daughter from her first life, asking for healing from the same disease that killed Calmseer herself. When Calmseer saw her daughter in the petitions line, she remembered her previous life and the reason she Returned, and sacrificed herself to heal her daughter.{{wob ref|7354}} |
