"Then her gaze fell upon him, bright and terrible, and he found that he could speak falsehood no longer."

Fate of the Azure Order, from the Books of Shadow's Fall


The Angel of the Third Eye, also known as the Bright Huntress: Iasakell served as a trusted agent of Schiraman before their arrival at Reshomme. However, after the destruction of Sas'Trankha towards the end of the Sixth Age she partially abandoned his teachings - coming to believe that upholding truth and destroying those tainted by Chaos was more important than the principle of Law.

Although she typically keeps a low profile, Iasakell is active throughout the Fringes hunting those who are corrupted by Chaos or who thrive by concealing the truth. Unlike Schiraman himself, she is not always concerned with upholding or even obeying the law of the lands that she visits, instead doing what she believes she must to eliminate Chaos and corruption. As a result she occasionally finds herself in conflict with her former master or his servants and has fought with Jurakell on more than one occasion.

Iasakell has little following on the Core or Central Planes, though several planes of the Fringes, most notably her old home of Jhustusan, owe her allegiance. Her most active followers are known as the Iasunti, a small but fairly widespread order of chaos-hunting warrior-priests.

She most often manifests as a winged Suthyar human with long white hair and golden eyes, armed with a golden spear or bow. Some stories of her say that she can open a third eye, located in her forehead, that lets her unfailingly sense the truth - as a result many of her followers wear a symbol they call The Third Eye, consisting of a circlet decorated with a symbolic eye.
