### Summary

Saintess Lilium Rosae Angeli Di Argentium was born in the Angelic Empire in 3400 I.C as the third princess of the royal family and fourth child to the Imperial Family overall. When she was very young, the entire Imperial family, barring herself and the then Prince Xenres, were mysteriously assassinated, leaving only herself and Xenres as heirs to the throne. She was famously kidnapped at her ceremony to ascend to the role of Argent, leading to the war between the Angelic Empire and Blakkr. She is most well known as the Saintess chosen by the Goddesses to bring a stop to the tyranny of her brother, Xenres.

### History

Lilium was known throughout her time as power magic user and warrior alongside her companions. At the beginning of her journey, she was captured by the famous Mercenary group the Band of the Crow, and most specifically its leader, Ravana of Inferni. The two of them are said to have made the journey to the mountain border between the Empire and Blakkr where they were met by the former general of its army, Seawaerd Swordson for transport to King Behr of Blakkr. Ravana had a change of heart however, and rescued Lilium from the castle himself, breaking his contract with Blakkr and angering the king.

Together the two of them made a journey throughout the Nine Kingdoms, listening to the tales of both Blakkr and the Empire's negative effects on the rest of the continent. Upon the request of an old priestess in Eastern Blakkr, they journeyed to a temple where they were intercepted by Seawaerd once again, as well as a Priestess of Flos Matri. After a harrowing fight against Seawaerd and the Priestess, Lilium was able to convince them to join the pair. They learned the Priestess' name was Inkeri, and also Seawaerd's wife. With her help, Lilium was able to draw power from the temple and read the prophecy carved into stone in the language of Ancient Blakkr Runic. It stated Lilium would kill her brother and end the war. The old woman appeared and gave them the information on Xenres' plans, the nature of Lilium's destiny and a new quest to gain power from all the temples along the way to stop her brother. Following this, they journeyed across the kingdoms, stopping at the 9 temples dedicated to the Four Core Goddesses along the way.

Once returning to the Angelic Empire, they would need to pretend to be returning Lilium and trick Xenres so she could reach Eden's Inner Sanctuary, the final temple. As Lilium approached the final temple in the Empire with Ravana and the others, the love between her and Ravana only grew, and the two were married by Inkeri, wanting to forever seal their love should either perish. As Lilium finished her business in the final temple, Xenres entered and revealed himself as, in fact, not her brother, but a child of the Deities Malus Patri and Mer Matri, swapped with her real brother at birth in order to conquer the continent and free the seal on demon kind. He confessed his intent to lock her away in the temple until after the deed was done and then use her body as a vessel. Unable to contain his rage, Ravana burst from the sidelines just as Xenres was about to leave and nearly plunged his sword into the man's back. He was stopped by Sin Soror with a mere swipe of his hand, and the final battle began. Ravana fell after a long battle with Xenres. In a burst of pure rage, Lilium assumed the form of a nine-winged angel bathed in light so intense it's said the night became morning, a halo of gold barely visible through the searing white light. Cradling Ravana's head to her bosom, she raised he sword into the sky with a cry and let out a burst of pure arcane energy so strong it eradicated Xenres and forced Sin to flee. The palace crumbled, but miraculously no civilians were hurt. It is said that silver moon lillies bloomed where the palace fell. Barely managing to stand, Seawaerd and Inkeri managed to support Lilium and the body of Ravana just long enough to leave the palace. Sitting atop the hill, sitting right in front of where the palace once stood, Lilium fell. Where she lay, flowers bloomed. The war ended and there was peace.

It wasn't until the angels left their fallen Empire that the tale of the Great Saintess began to become widespread around the Nine Kingdoms and she became revered by their people.

### Reincarnations

Up to this point, there has been one confirmed reincarnation of the Great Saintess. A woman in Blakkr who was supposed captured by a cult calling themselves, "Children of the Moon Lily". Though no one has seen her in some time.
