Lore[]
As a deacon, Rudela had undergone years of intense training to hear the words of the gods with the purpose of spreading their teachings to the masses. She possessed incomparable prudence and compassion, leading many to hold high expectations of her. However, having lacked familiarity with the commoners' way of life, she felt unsure if she could truly be deserving of their loyalty. Seeking to mitigate this deficiency, she silently slipped out of the palace.

Name origin[]
Rudela (Rudella, Rudel, Rudele, Rudell) is also a feminine name of English-American origin; the meaning is "renowned". A variation of the name Rudelle (Old German), derived from the combination of Rudee (Germanic "famous wolf"} and Elle (Old Greek "bright, shining one"). The form -rudela - is also found in other languages/sub languages (basque, aragonese, occitan, gascon, old french, gaulish-italic, and provencial), which same form would refer directly to a circle, or a circular object, like the very old round shaped shield (derived from the above mentioned languages, including also the partially latinized forms: rudellum, rudella, rudela, rodela, rodella, rutella, rotella, etc.), or to a small wheel (from the old french forms/dialects: roudelle, rudelle, rodelle, routelle, etc.).
Deacon is a ministry in the Christian Church that is generally associated with service of some kind (cleric of minor orders), but which varies among theological and denominational traditions. The word "deacon" is derived from the Greek word diákonos (διάκονος), which is a standard ancient Greek word meaning "servant", "waiting-man", "minister", or "messenger". The exact relationship between male and female Deacons varies. In some traditions a female deacon is simply a member of the order of deacons; in others, deaconesses constitute a separate order; in others, the title "deaconess" was also given to the wife of a deacon.
