Rasheema was known to be a nomad and wanderer of the world. Born when Sengaard was still ruled by its King-Priest, she traveled and stayed with the Sivanoshei for many years, before taking time to do the same with the Dwarves. From both of their cultures, the Sengaardian woman learned what it meant to have a balance in all things, a place where spiritual peace could be found. When the Great Sundering came to pass, she along with many other humans escaped to Imarel, where she once more found herself wandering. Having visited the Quar`Vess, the Dragons and especially their Van'Su slaves, Rasheema learned a great breadth of how to achieve balance in all things.
Her travels ended however, with the Shar`Vaire who thought the pale-skinned Sengaardian woman was something of an exotic Elf pet. She was repeatedly raped, tortured and humiliated at the pleasure of a Theocrat noble, but even in her dying moments, she did not give in to her anger or her despair. Instead she turned a faint, pleasant smile and forgave the Theocrat for being what he was, before passing from the world. So moved by the display, Zorah herself ascended Rasheema to Spirit of Serenity.
Worshipers of the Spirit of Serenity try to find the balance in all things. A time for pain, a time for joy, a time for suffering and a time for elation. While not fanatical about maintaining this perfect accord, those who worship this Spirit understand deeply the worth of the phrase, ‘Everything in moderation.' Many of her worshipers include Nahara, most of the Zissah nation of Irys and anybody looking to find a path in a world of excessive violence. Priests of Serenity wear robes of muted hues and adorn no jewelry save for their holy symbol.
