Mercystar is a Returned from Hallandren on Nalthis.[1] She is the goddess of kindness and benevolence. [2][3]
Appearance and Personality
Mercystar is a gorgeously voluptuous woman; the curvaceous—yet busty—type as described by Lightsong. [2]. Her colors are yellow/orange and gold. [1][2]
She’s a good woman, if a bit of a drama queen. [4]
History
Vasher broke into Mercystar's palace to investigate the tunnels that she and several other Returned have running underneath their palaces.[5]
Blushweaver used this incident as an excuse to visit Mercystar with Lightsong. Blushweaver convinced her the attack had been done by an Idrian and join them in “preparing for war”. [2]
Lightsong however was interested on how one person could have made so much “damage” but at the same time tried to kill the least. He went to her palace to ask questions. This seems to have help persuade Mercystar to give Blushweaver control of her Lifeless. [6]
She sent her priests to the King’s palace via the tunnels, which helps Lightsong understand their existence and its importance. [7]
On the night of the Pahn Kahl rebellion, Lightsong and Llarimar entered the tunnel complex under Mercystar's palace, where he stumbled upon Blushweaver being held captive by Pahn Kahl scribes disguised as priests. [8]
Abilities
Mercystar is known for her involvement in politics, yet who wasn’t all that influential. [1].
She has the command of ten thousand Lifeless, and is one of the Retuned who had the tunnels into the King’s palace. [2]
Trivia
Mercystar is supposed to hint at what a lot of the goddesses are like. There would be a good number of them who would turn out just like this—given anything they want, told how important they are, and blessed with a beautiful and perfect body no matter what they eat or how they act. [9]
