Mother of Vanesa, aka. Pilee. Wife of Rahl. After their daughter was captured by the Horde, she and her husband gave her up for dead. But six years later when Xena and Gabrielle brought the child home, she tried to help her re-adapt to the culture she was born into. Adiah was far more understanding of the changes in her daughter than her husband Rahl yet she was broken-hearted when her daughter chose to leave her home and live with the Horde. As Xena indicated, at least she had the comfort of knowing that her daughter was alive and happy. (XWP: Daughter of Pomira.)

The Mother of Peace. Xena's reincarnation in a future life. Xena used the Mendhi to travel to a future life to save her eternal spirit from being assimilated by the evil reincarnation of Alti. (Naiyima: "There is a great evil in the future that is hunting Xena's soul. It has found her. If it succeeds, it will destroy her karmic cycle and will end all of the good of her future lives.")
Xena found it ironic that the once self-proclaimed "Destroyer of Nations" would become "The Mother of Peace"
in a future life. Although she inhabited the body of an age-weakened old lady, Xena's spirit had some difficulty controlling her warrior instincts. Equally ironic was Gabrielle's reincarnation of the warrior, Shakti whose karma it was to be the protector of Arminestra.
Through the Darshan, Naiyima and the ritual of the Mehndi, Xena and Gabrielle became enlightened to the fact that their souls were intertwined throughout many lifetimes, past, present, and future. (XWP: Between The Lines)
