What Nomistrus told Ganeth about Lessania before the balor mission

Lessania, aka the Swordwraith, aka the Rider, is a controversial historical figure, with an "unorthdox approach to Good." She was called the Swordwraith because weapons passed through her body as if she was insubstantial (some training from extraplanars may be involved here; Western lore only records that the extraplanars were Good). Those who called her the Rider felt that her mount, the pegasus lord Cirrus, was the more important of the two. Her sword produced burning wounds that could not be extinguished. She was a champion (possibly a Champion, possibly not) of Chaotic Good; she had problems with the Council, through "her opinions were later proved correct." Apparently, she requested information about the Balor from the High Priest of Hollerith, but lied about the urgency of her request. She misled the council into believing that it would be attacked by the Balor and its minions, leading to a state of war; she was actually planning to face it elsewhere. (I wonder what her opinions being proved correct means in this context...) The priests of Truth were not terribly happy about this, and this was where she ran into trouble with the Council.
