History
On the island of Skellig, the Lady Priestess took Flora under her wing and formed a lasting closeness with her. Her end came while she lay cradled in the arms of a man encased in the Berserker Armor; fatally wounded, she reached up to touch his face, the Brand of Sacrifice plain upon her shoulder, before slipping into unconsciousness. Long afterward, during a visit to Elfhelm, the Skull Knight is seen paying respects at the mausoleum that holds her remains, accompanied by Danan.
