== Biography ==
=== Background ===
Lucia Albright was born in Wrowagn in the thirty-fifth year of the Fifth Era. During her life, she was often criticized by the local population because of her devotion to The Dawnmother. In her faith; she never once wavered despite the protests from her family members and neighbors.
The Legend Lore states that her devotion to the Dawnmother came from her mother's prayers to her for a child after trying for so many years.
=== Blazing War ===
During the events that led up to the Blazing War (the war between Wylandrian and the Blasoise Republique), Lucia pleaded with the Head Master of Wrowagn for the city to find devotion in the Dawnmother, proclaiming her to be the only goddess that would stand between the city's downfall and it's glorious independence. The Head Master at the time refused to do such, and most of the people in the city remained loyal in their worship of The Rainfather.
==== Mantle of Championing ====
Due to her staunch devotion, Lucia Albright completed her task for her Mantle of Championing for the Dawnmother by felling an entire platoon of Wylandrian soldiers single handedly. Once she agreed to the mantling, Lucia received Soultorch from the Dawnmother and wielded the divine mace for the entirety of the Blazing War.
Utilizing the mace's ability to summon the sun's rays, Lucia was able to dismantle entire armies that encroached on the city's borders. Her efforts as a Champion of Lucindra caused many of the city's inhabitants to convert to a more Dawnmother-centric faith, turning their sights away from the Rainfather and his apparent support of the Wylandrian military.
==== Siege of Wrowagn ====
During the Siege of Wrowagn, Lucia Albright led the armies of the city successfully in many raids on Wylandrian camps. She was a pivotal part of the city's success against the Wylandrian military, showing shrewdness and tactical brilliance.

==== Surrender and death ====
Acting as the lead envoy of the city, and gaining world-renown for her capacity as a paladin, Lucia surrendered herself to the Wylandrian Empire, knowing that it would be the one way to ensure that the city would not be destroyed and instead captured.
Once Lucia Albright surrendered to the Wylandrian forces, she was paraded throughout the Empire and brought to the city of Utra-Zimac where she was publicly executed by being burned at the stake. The Legend Lore states that Lucia personally requested being burned, so that she might only be engulfed by the divine light of her Goddess. Once burned, it is said that the Golden Soul of Lucia sprouted from the ashes and ascended. Solidifying her status as a Saint in the Wylandrian pantheon.
