Caledonia the Pedant

Kaledonja Kezalyaka, later known as Saint Caledonia the Pedant, was a mage and polymath scholar from Cessalia - she lived around the first century before 0 TE.
So the story goes, she was a curious and inteligent youth, with a knack for law, literature, history, and arcane lore. Her curiosity led her to the barrow-tombs beneath the city of Cessalia, whence she returned with grimoires upon grimoires of forgotten knowledge from the time when beasts walked on two legs and spoke in the tongues of man. It is said that she was able to weave words like string on a page, and her counsel was sought by the first Lusken Emperor Regulus Kingmaker, among others, as well as warring lords and those with disputes. She drew up treaties, contracts, historical accounts, and more. 
After her death of old age, her immense contribution to the historical record earned her a sainthood. Her holy day was 13th Veltai, and her followers often made pilgrimages to Cessalia. She was saint of scholars, historians, writers, lawyers - and candlemakers, for she read by candlelight. Candles were her sacred icon.
