Vodasen Ludly

Vodasen Ludly was the sixth Grand Priest of the Divine Order of the Eight of the Hvítt Hrafn faith, residing in the capital of the Empire of The White Raven (now the former Republic of New-Awm), New Awm. He always wears his priest robe in addition to the ritualistic white mask worn only by the current Grand Priest of the order. 
More than a century old, his past young life is shrouded in mystery, but accounts of him being in power date back to the year 540 AV. He is the Sixth individual to be found capable of deciphering the ancient artifact of Alīm, the god of knowledge, The Lexicon, by sacrificing his mortal shell. This allows Vodasen to live much longer compared to other mortals as his soul resides within his empty husk of a body, endowed with the Lexicon's power, as was the case with the Grand Priests before him. Which preserves his corporeal body from aging.
His duty as the Grand Master of the Divine Order of the Eight mainly involves the deciphering of The Lexicon in a yearly ritual, done at the end of a year, to foresee the future of the world, and to inform the king of White Raven. He also watches over his disciples and their duties. This may include sermons, charity events, and managing their extensive library of lore and myths of the gods.
While he is capable of such feats, his physical body has grown too frail for any strenuous activity. He is incapable of engaging in a fight without exposing himself to danger. His affinity with Alīm's power through the Lexicon has made him reliant on the artifact in decision making. Rendering him almost unreliable in critical situations. Though he can foresee most events of the year to come, along with any possible outcomes through the deciphering ritual.
His old age has taken its toll on his mind as well. His faculties are less than desirable as he forget things very often, which sparked his habit to write everything he deemed worth remembering. this changes however when he is channeling the power of the Lexicon. In which case his youthful mind returns temporarily.
Legacy
Vodasen played a massive role in the purification of the floating island, New-Awm. He was the leading force behind the rise of the divine order with the purification of New-Awm as its main goal. The purification was successful as some of the Dark Spirits made New-Awm their new home, while the rest are exorcised.
Vodasen Ludly left behind a single book. A diary he started writing as soon as he arrived on New-Awm. there are only 3 copies available during his lifetime.
Vodasen Ludly passed away during his last ritual of deciphering mere weeks before The Republic of New-Awm fell into the hands of Huitca. He was unable to relay the vision of New-Awm's demise he saw, as his soul was consumed by the Lexicon as soon as he saw it. 
The role of the Grand-Priest of the Divine Order was then inherited by a priest of the order.
