Lilith

Lilith is a tiefling cleric of the Twilight Domain, and a member of the Sword of the Skulls party. She is played by Ash.

## Description

### Appearance

Lilith is a terrifyingly tall woman, standing at 6'9 total height. Her skin is a dusky purple, and swirling, magical tattoos cover her arms, chest, and face. Her hair is waist length, black, and elegantly styled to keep it free of the horns which circle her head. They appear at first as a laurel wreath, and are made of braided elements of bone and wood and vine, curling across the front of her head like a crown. She wears a corset top and leather pants, with twilight sky-coloured lengths of fabric belted over the top to mimic a dress. She carries a rapier and a shield, and her primary armour is *chain shirt.*

### Personality

Lilith as a character is confident, nearly to the point of arrogance. Humility is not a word that is in her vocabulary. She attempts to project an air of self assuredness, attempts to have it ooze from her very being. She’s flirtatious and tricksy, enjoys toying with people for her own amusement. She has very little regard for other people, not in a sadistic way but just in a very immature, self centred way. She doesn’t see herself as immature, though, just sees herself as better than everyone else.

## Biography

### Background

Lilith's experience in the world of Sonder is almost entirely limited to the Underdark city of Nammondath, located in the Northern Continent. She was found wandering the myconid fields north of the city, and was taken in as a lost soul.

Years after being found, she left the city in an attempt to search for an oasis in the desert, the last stronghold of nature in the Northern Continent. While she found it, she found its guardian, a treant by the name of Gnarfleroot, to be utterly boring and entirely unhelpful. Though she could sense the presence of another guardian, a dryad, they did not make their presence known, and Lilith left the grove without answers and with fresh disdain for Sonder.

At some point, one of the clans of the northern mountains adopted Lilith, believing her to be a demon. She allowed them to worship her for all of a week until they realised that though her visage is unnatural, she was not a demon, and their pleas and prayers had been for nought.

During her travels, Lilith was knocked unconscious and kidnapped by an ogre, who imparted a message she believed to have come from her patron: "They said to tell you; 'don't let him die'".

### Pre-Stream

Lilith awoke in a cage, imprisoned by fearful townsfolk of the Carillion, who believed her to be a demon. The appearance of Merrick and Jad Tz-Adamant, monks of the Order of the Clement Heart, calmed the crowd and Lilith was freed from her imprisonment. Another prisoner, Desmond, a wounded farmer found laying near death in a field and who was also falsely imprisoned by the townsfolk, is also freed.

Desmond's wounds prove to be fatal in all the wrong ways, as a demon claws its way from the man's torso. The townsfolk were terrified and unable to flee, resulting in several being bitten and also having demons erupt from them. The fight was won easily with the combined efforts of Lilith, Jad, and Merrick, and the final demon reached towards a hooded figure before it died.

A Sister of Hesta, Penelope, appeared, revealing herself to be the brother of the hooded figure, Prince Ehren. She tasked Lilith and Jad to accompany Ehren and his aide, the dragonborn Seriphyte Redwin, to the Southern Continent to give a statement on the demon attack to their father, the King of Estebar. They agree, and their travels commence.

### Arc 1: Coming Together

Lilith, along with Jad Tz-Adamant, Redwin, and the *Sequestered* body of Prince Ehren sought passage on the ship *Jonty's Lover* in order to traverse the seas to the Southern Continent and return the prince's body to his father in Estebar. The ship is rerouted to Ealdhabour, and while they wait in quarantine, a group of assassins infiltrate the ship in an attempt to find and kill Prince Ehren. Lilith confronts two in the hold, and later kills a drowned assassin with Jad's assistance, meeting Malia and Vermillion in the process. The union is tense and quickly interrupted by a fire in the ship's living quarters, and after aiding in snuffing it, Lilith and Jad have a tense standoff with Malia and Vermillion, who are attempting to smuggle Redwin and Ehren off of the ship. Eventually, the group agrees to wait out the quarantine rather than risk being caught by Ealdhabourian guards, and spend the rest of the night in quiet contemplation. While the Jonty's Lover is released from quarantine, Lilith and Jad are separated from the ship, and are taken prisoner by the harbourmaster, accused of the murder of Captain Atwell Covell.

## Relationships

### Jad Tz-Adamant

Lilith's relationship with Jad is primarily antagonistic. She believes him to be a stuffy old man, while he sees her as a petulant child. She enjoys toying with him, but appreciates his passion for crafting and creating things.

### Malia Redwood

Lilith's relationship with Malia is mutually antagonistic. She finds the other woman to be cowardly and deceptive, and *Hexed* her when they first met, as Malia ran from the meeting after infiltrating the Jonty's Lover. The two exchanged harsh words and insults over the course of the night on the ship, Lilith amused at her attempts at intimidation. She finds Malia to be "rather pretty".

### Vermillion Barathir

Lilith's relationship with Vermillion is very similar to her relationship with Jad, in that she prefers toying with the man instead of actually talking to him. She intimidated him with her fiendish appearance several times after their first meeting, and Vermillion referred to her as "Scary Lady", as he did not know her name.

### Prince Ehren

Lilith is fascinated by Prince Ehren, believing him to be the person her patron asked her to protect. He has similar shimmering, colour changing eyes to Lilith, though nothing about his nature implies that he made a pact with the same patron. After Ehren's *Sequestering,* Lilith conceded that she did would not have the answers she was seeking, and told Ehren's body that he "must be very special indeed" to be offered such protection.
