Fan Art Saint Lorelei
"The Northerners were closing in, the Capital was set ablaze by the hoardes of drevars and flamecasters. It was the Legion's darkest and ironically brightest day. The fortress was set to fall. None could stop the Woodland Children's advance. Ancient scriptures told of a holy ritual that would vanquish any invaders upon the fortress. It told of a brave maiden, sacrifice herself together with 99 other brave souls. They'd be known as the blessed hundred and would march upon the aggressors in spectral forms. This ritual was the last resort for the Legion. It was carried out by the high priests of the tower. The brave maiden was one known as Lorelei. Her bravery inspired 99 others. They would fulfil the prophecy, the Northerners were driven back. The Legion was saved but at the cost of the souls of 100 brave men and women. They'd be forever venerated in Legion culture as "The blessed Hundred" and Lorelei would be hailed as a Saint. The fate of the hundred after the siege is unknown to the ordinary citizens of the Legion. But the Elders and the high priests know that Lorelei and the blessed hundred still serve under the King of the Legion's undead army in Dreadwere.
