'''Calmseer''' is a [[Returned]] from [[Hallandren]] on [[Nalthis]].{{book ref|wb|7}} She dies sometime before the marriage between [[Siri]] and [[Susebron]].
==Personality==
[[Lightsong]] often reflects that Calmseer was the most divine among the recent generations of Hallandren Returned. [[Allmother]] agrees with him.
==Relationships==
Calmseer was Lightsong's mentor when he first Returned. Lightsong and Calmseer were intimate, though their relationship grew out of respect, not love{{annotation ref|Warbreaker|chapter=27}}. She was well regarded by Allmother, and despite Allmother’s low opinion of Lightsong, often tried to bring the two together.
Calmseer had a family before she became a Returned.{{annotation ref|Warbreaker|chapter=47}}
==History==
===Before Returning===
Calmseer was a mother who cared for those around her. When her neighbors caught an unnamed disease, resulting in the death of the father of the family, it was Clamseer who continued to care for them. It was because of her efforts that the rest of the family survived. She, however, caught the disease and died.{{annotation ref|Warbreaker|chapter=47}} Once dead, she would have been granted vision of her daughter dying of the same disease, and given the option to Return and prevent that from happening.{{book ref|wb|57}} She accepted the divine Breath, and Returned as Calmseer.
===After Returning===
She Returned without memories of her previous life or the vision of her daughter’s potential death. It would be some time before her daughter caught the disease, and so Calmseer spent several years in the Court of Gods. Her duties included listening to petitions and judging works of art, but she also took Lightsong under her wing and helped him adjust to life as a Returned.
She had dinner with Lightsong and Allmother the night before she gave her Breath away.{{book ref|wb|42}}
Some years before the events of Warbreaker, she fulfilled her duties as a Returned and sacrificed her Divine Breath in order to heal a young girl. Lightsong believes that, after years of listening to and denying petitions, she did so out of guilt. Actually the request Calmseer grants is the reason she Returned in the first place: the petitioner was Calmseer's daughter from her first life, asking for healing from the same disease that killed Calmseer herself. When Calmseer saw her daughter in the petitions line, she remembered her previous life and the reason she Returned, and sacrificed herself to heal her daughter.{{annotation ref|Warbreaker|chapter=47}}
