Lorelei

“You want the world to be perfect, and that's a noble goal. But the world isn't perfect. It's people like me who give the world the chance to try another day for virtue. Beneath the water exists an entirely alien world. Water reveals the song of the Deep Ones, to those who know how to listen.”
-Lorelei of Atlantis
== History ==
Around three centuries before the rise of King Raine lived the tiefling Lorelei Vuhlanath, the second wife of King Calas Vuhlanath. She ensnared the King’s mind and induced him to declare her the heir of the Throne of Atlantis, to the objection of his sons from his previous marriage. She ruled for many years before being deposed and forced to grant the throne to King Calas’ eldest son. During her reign, she did not give herself to the Deep, instead choosing to fight them. For this reason, she is the only ruler of Atlantis who passed on to the afterlife. 
== Personality ==
Queen Lorelei was considered a hollow temptress during her lifetime, deriving her identity from the adoration and ultimate fall of those who became enthralled with her. The Kingdom of Atlantis was of endless fascination to her, a source of delights which fueled her whimsy. It it difficult to attribute any triumphs to her, save for her stand against Deep. Lorelei was a consumptive entity, unwilling if not unable to give herself to anything, and so commanded her armies to war with the dark powers that would have taken her soul. 
== War of the Philosopher-Kings ==
After the Raine Rebellion, forces aligned against him retrieved Lorelei's soul from the Abyss, it being the only soul of an Atlantean monarch not consumed by the Deep. The soul fell into the possession of Jotunheim of the Illuminated, who gave it to the tiefling illusionist Philoktia, with the hope that she might one day be able to take the Throne of Atlantis as its true heir, and resume war with the Deep.
