Snowlilly

**Snowlilly** (also called **Lilly** for short) was the wife of Tallheart, and a Silver-level adventurer.

She had tawny hair and beautiful broad antlers; her birthday was on Fallow 2nd.

## History

Before they were awakened, Tallheart and Snowlilly grew up in Bellost in a village of Cervidians until they were all slaughtered by hunters in the employ of the Empire of Adamant. After the loss of their village, they became awakened. Being a cervidian, Lilly was banned from joining the Guild, which did not stop her.

The couple were adventurers in Bellost until they eventually took a Teleportation array to Ekrustia around the year 3050. There, they were adventurers in the DKE first, but also going into the Badlands south of Fel Sadanis. They finally approached the Empire's borders in 3052 when they heard of a cervidian hold captive there. While they were able to free Proudrock, they had to flee from a frontier garrison.

At some point they went into their first expedition into the depths, where they took small and calculated risks, always progressing slowly and often retreating. Most of their time adventuring was actually spent underground. They often talked long about metalworking during their delves, with Tallheart forging their equipment in narrow hideouts, while Lilly would slaughter the monsters drawn by their noise.

The pair clashed with the Empire many more times, and Lilly grew bitter from their ultimate lack of success in defeating the Empire. They rescued more and more cervidians, until they eventually decided to settle down in the mid-50s in a secret place on Ekrustia. The couple still brought more cervidians over there, but eventually lived a somewhat peaceful life in this new community, which Tallheart remembered as the happiest time in his life - until Snowlilly became restless. after two years had passed.

In her renewed questing to ultimately defeat the Empire, Snowlilly became impatient to level up, and convinced Tallheart to take on a lair above their level, and the couple encountered mostly monsters that were weaker than to be expected, so they continued on. This proved to be fatal for Lilly: The reason for the lair being weakly populated was a Dragon living inside, and Snowlilly was killed fighting the Dragon while instructing Tallheart to flee towards safety.

## Build and Equipment

Snowlilly was combining various skill trees, among them Equipment Use; Heavy Armor; Sharpshooting. She eventually became a **Wielder of Deep Vengeance** upon reaching her Legendary Class at level 25.

Already in 3052, she was wielding a bow Tallheart crafted from Adamant and outfitted with an enchanted metal cable, while Tallheart was still far from finishing his enchanted suit of armor and enhance his stat rings.

## Legacy

A figment of Lilly appeared as Tallheart's soul guide when he mastered his meditation lessons from Rain. In following meditation sessions, she didn't make a re-appearance though as far as Tallheart reported to Rain.

She and Tallheart fought a guerilla war against the Empire of Adamant for years, laying traps and ambushes on imperial forces: Many years of that experience made the Empire (under command of Alarus who had fought against Lilly before) wary of blindly pursuing Ameliah when she was in her Heavy Archer build and firing arrows made by Tallheart. This mistaken identity was essential in the evacuation of Vestvall, only possible because of that careful delay. Eventually, the Empire became aware that Ameliah was not Snowlilly, designating her as the "False Lilly".

Because of Lilly's strong reservations of dealing with humans, Tallheart refused initially to forge weapons for Ascension, with the exception of his closest friends. He eventually came around, but had to struggle hard with his conscience.
