=== Background ===
The woman now known as Illuminating Sapphire Reflection grew up on an RPC in the south of River province. Even then she was stunningly beautiful, and not above using those looks to get what she wanted. Sleeping with a [[Dragon]]-blooded Prefect with a taste in much younger women was just a way to get certain privileges. That is, until word of their affair got out and he accused her of blackmail. The prefect's wife also brought all her influence to bear to punish her.

It all changed in court, where her punishment was to be meted out. When asked if she had anything to say for herself, a previously hidden wellspring of courage and conviction opened up. The room fell silently as she, a mere mortal, laid out the prefect's lecherous behavior and deceit for all to see. Bold and eloquent words flowed almost uncontrollably as she condemned him completely. Before he could move his lips to argue, a brilliant light filled the room; flowing from her body and a glowing mark on her forehead. The Unconquered Sun had passed his judgment.

Upon arriving at Meru, she learned of the operations of Celestial society, and saw what had to be done. The Solars were the natural-born, rightful leaders of Creation, it could not and should not be denied. Taking the name Illuminating Sapphire Reflection, after both her new found purpose and the remarks her peers had made of her eyes (more courteous then remarks about other parts of her body), she set out to gain a power base.

Attaining wealth proved easier then climbing up the in Deliberative's ranks. Sapphire projected the reputation of her as a carefree and easy lover, all the while using the gifts and tokens of affection she was showered with as a basis for a number of shrewd investments. Manipulating merchants and bankers to her advantage was as easy as tugging on their heartstrings. In mere decades she had a massive portfolio of investments and numerous businesses to her name. Money was not an ends, nor the real challenge however; it merely made tackling the Deliberative itself easier.

The Way of the Open Heart has long been known as a place where the senses are treated to many a wonder, and where many desires are fulfilled. Carved out of rich and fertile farmland just south and east of the borders of River province, the Way is a destination for pilgrims seeking pleasure from all over the east. Much of the land is given over to growing fruit and livestock, so that the blissful populace may dine well and drink heartily. Pleasures of both the flesh and the mind are experienced at the near constant festivals.

Sapphire become the patron of the Way only two decades ago. After a nearly 15 year whirlwind romance with
