Tagore Virasana

Tagore Virasana was a human noble of House Virasana and is considered the first Jansahar priest and founder of Temple Jansahar. While her spiritual contributions can hardly be overstated, her involvement with demonism taints her legacy until today. 
== Founding a Religion out of Boredom ==
A bored socialite in her youth, she inherited her parents' castle on Nanda Navana after they died in a mysterious accident. Returning to her family home in 1504 ET, Tagore realized her parents had been active Bloodmages and Demonists and most of the castle's basement was a dark temple filled with forbidden lore and remnants of human sacrifices.
After dabbling in demonic lore for a while, she realized that while there were a lot of powerful rituals at her disposal, the darker aspects went deeply against her nature. Why sacrifice a perfectly good virgin when there were so many other delicious things one could do together? 
As if driven by a deeper instincts, she found that hidden underneath all those sinister promises and vile demands, there were bits of genuine power hidden, powers of life and creation. Bit by bit, she uncovered what the demons had been exploiting for eons - love and human life held the keys to powers beyond imagination, but there was no need for sacrifices or dark rites. Properly guided, this energy could he harnessed and used to heal, to grow, to enlighten. Suddenly, rejuvenation and even resurrection seemed within grasp. 
Soon enough, she gathered a group of disciples around her from literally every walk of life, one of them later becoming known as Saint CoCo. Those original disciples became the founding parents of Temple Jansahar as we know it today. 
== Legacy ==
From her teachings and rituals, the core of what is today known as Temple Jansahar developed. And while the Jansahar are beloved healers all throughout the empire, they never managed to entirely shake off the shadow that clung to them from admitting they were founded on a pile of converted demonic rituals. 
Despite her enduring mystical and religious legacy, Tagore so far has not been raised to sainthood by the church founded on her teachings. 
To this day, she is often called 'The Holy Whore of Nanda Navana', a title which she hated with a passion and yet also the title of her autobiography.
