The death of growth

This is known as the day that Mercy's Lie ambushed the goddesses, Fate and Myamya. This was the first time in history that Mercy's Lie revealed its true force, having only ever surfaced solo or in pairs beforehand.
The ambush was said to have occurred in the north end of Rose lake, meaning the members of Mercy's lie involved in this attack would have been powerful enough to take on the goddess of growth surrounded by nature, her most powerful domain, all while she had Fate supporting her in battle.
During the attack Fate and Myamya fought hard, but unfortunately Myamya's refusal to kill the assaulters and the fact that the members of Mercy's lie were too powerful had the deities overwhelmed. In the end, Fate was forced to retreat while Myamya was slain. 
 

Geological Impact

The corpse of Myamya fell at the north end of Rose lake while she was in her titan form. Standing at a staggering 189-feet of height, Myamya fell to her knees and began to turn to stone. Upon death, her body turned to a strange cliff range with many small holes which water now streams through into the lands below, pooling all the way down to the southern coast and turning rose lake into a swamp land.
Many believe that the freshwater streams are the tears of Myamya pouring through her wounds from being felled by the mortals she so adored, unaware that even in death she still provides for them.

Several members of the society took it upon themselves to remove the head of the goddess before her lifeless body petrified and attempted to transport it somewhere undisclosed. Unfortunately for them, one of the members made the foolish decision to place the skull on the ground for a moment. It immediately rooted itself and began to form a dense overgrowth, making it impossible to retrieve. On this day the fields of Dunebrook erupted into a sea of colors, having thousands of flowers grow seemingly out of nowhere.
Dunebrook was later accordingly renamed Floral fields, thanks to the rebranding by Irde and his devout. The flowers of Floral fields remained for centuries and exist even now in present day Eden. In modern day Eden the flowers that grow around Myamya's skull are commonly used in remembrance ceremonies and either placed or grown on the graves of the deceased.
