Some textev.  FHYA, p.58, "...when she was Warlord during the Dragon Reign
in the Fourteenth Cycle she was a living woman, but that when the Lavode
Scandal broke, she was in fact undead, and had been for some hundreds of
years. How did she die, how she was reanimated, and how did she manage the
deceit for so long? These are not questions we can answer."  From various
references, I have dated the Lavode Scandal to about 750 years before the
Interregnum, but that is an imprecise estimate.  So she died somewhere
between about 1,000 BI and 51,000 BI.  Given that she was born before the
formation of the Empire, some hundreds of thousands of years ago, this
would qualify as "recent" on the scale of her life.

In PotD the Lords of Judgement talk about having let her leave the Paths,
but, this being Paarfi speculation, is not as definitive as it might be.
