Lansseax is the sister of Lichdragon Fortissax, Godwyn the Golden's sworn friend, the dragon who descended into the underworld to defend the Prince of Death's body when no other dragon would. Lansseax's Glaive incantation describes her own departure from the dragon-form : 'Lansseax was the sister of Fortissax. It is said that she took the form of a human to commune with the knights as a priestess of the ancient dragon cult.' She is the canon's most explicit example of a great dragon assuming a smaller, mortal shape, a priestess incarnate among the same Leyndell knights who, after Godwyn's death, would worship her brother as a god of red lightning.

Her descendant, possibly daughter, the canon doesn't quite say, is Florissax, the ancient dragon who walked the Realm of Shadow until Miquella claimed her. Vyke's Dragonbolt remembers the Lansseax-line tenderly : 'Of all the knights, Vyke the Dragonspear was the one Lansseax loved the most.' Florissax, generations later, finds her own knight in the Tarnished : the Ancient Dragon Florissax Spirit Ash description records the moment, 'Florissax assumed this spirit form to offer her service to a new lord.' Two priestess-dragons, two human knights chosen, two centuries apart : the same fold of grace passed quietly across an ageing line.
