> *"Three eyes, four arms, and magic that hasn't been replicated since. I don't believe anything like the Hierarch has existed before or after."* > - *Archmage Quincy Gainier* # Overview The Hierarch was the absolute leader of the [[Thescryan Empire]] for its entire existence. The Hierarch has become more mythical than real with even her true name being lost. She was incredibly detached from her rule with only a close circle ever holding court with her. Her magical ability is legendary, apparently having mastered every school. Some accounts call her a beast, others claim she was an ancient dragon, and still others call her the only one of her kind. The only thing that is known to be true is that she was ended by [[Jacque]] to finish the [[Petaled Revolution]] in 384.
