Nemiya
A prophetess who served under the Great King Ahlsendar. Apparently Nemiya had great respect for Ahlsendar, but Ahlsendar often found her advice "foolish" and "childish". However, although he did have the choice, he rarely consulted with other prophets. Nemiya was rarely seen with the Great King and her role was relegated as a "figurehead" for ceremonies.[1]
After Ahlsendar sealed himself in the Temple of the Great King, in 1520 DE she wrote "The Book of Nemiya", denouncing his words and calling him a fraud and imposter, causing an outrage and bringing the D'ni people to religious chaos. Nemiya was declared a fool and heathen, most loudly by King Solath. In 1527 DE Nemiya vanished, some said killed by an angry mob and others said taken away by angels.[2]
By 1550 DE, though, there was 'growing sentiment that Nemiya's book carried some truth'. Many people who thought that the Great King would return were beginning to understand that he would not, and grew angrier. Suddenly, there were many reasons to believe Nemiya's book carried truth.
The book Nemiya's Legacy was written about her.
