Moon White Queen, Lerina

## Location

* The Ivory Tower:

## Lore

The Ivory Tower was a sacrilege
devoted to the Moon White Queen, Lerina, in the lands of Faerie. With
her husband, Lerina ruled her matriachical kingdom - encompassing a
penitentiary, a church, and the great tower itself. She commanded the
Crescent Warriors, majestic knights that represented the judgement of
the moon. It was said their curved swords were enchanted with dark
hues, deeper than the darkest of moon, and instilled both fear and
respect for the land of Faerie. Indeed, it was not only their
tremendous might that was fearsome, they often appeared only as moonlit
 phantoms - the nature of their being is murky, and unclear. Champions
of long ago were seen among the ranks, and its roster perpetually
shifting. Her blessings won her the great adoration and respect of her
people and it appeared that the conception of her first child would
secure the glory of the kingdom.

Until someone or something, shattered the Elden Ring.

The
 brilliance of stars, the life it stemmed and nourished was no more.
Without the sun, the moon cannot exist. The power of the moon was strong
 in Lerina, and thus her magic became weak. Stripped of her essence,
something went terribly wrong with her pregnancy, and she gave birth to a
 demon child. In time, the demon she gave birth consumed her soul,
controlled her mind, and absorbed her life.

Lerina
 banished her husband out of the land of Faerie in her hysteria, and on
 his exiled journey Lerina’s husband looked up at the sky - it burned
from the essence of life, and he found himself filled with a burning and
 vengeful desire to bring ruin upon the kingdom. He soon discovered a
powerful artefact, a chalice that gripped his heart of his mad desires.
 Indeed, it was a sinister vessel made from the skull of a former noble
 king of the kingdom, sealed away, never to be discovered again. With
the queen’s power weakened, he had sufficient strength to overpower the
 queen and plotted against her majesty. In his tactful and political
manipulation, he returned to order his wife and her family imprisoned in
 the cells of the Ivory Tower that Lerina formerly governed. In each
cell block, the old man commanded inhuman guards to keep watch over the
 tortured prisoners for eternity. The souls of the damned inside of the
 prison were used as life giving sustenance to keep his heart beating so
 that the suffering could continue. In time, the old man’s body began
to wither and decay, but the systems he put in place were self
sustaining to continue the nightmare.

The
 player finds Moon White Queen Lerina at the lowest and most central
cell of the desecrated Ivory Tower. The day of glory are long gone, and
 the once beautiful passages of the tower are now eerie, lit by the
lanterns of inhuman guards. Faintly, a high pitched lullaby can be
heard progressing through the tower that reinforce the claustrophobia
and despair of the atmosphere. Many have wandered in, but all that
escapes the place are prisoners’ cries. Up until this point, the player
 must walk through a compressed aisles sprinkled with prisons and
prisoners. However, down below a spiral walk an enormous opening is
found, with nothing but the Queen singing to her demonic baby.
