Lilith

Although Lilith has left her mark on the course of the living's destiny, her story remains shrouded in mystery. The Hymn of the Light briefly mentions her in the Genesis, where she is referred to as the Original Betrayer. However, her name vanishes from subsequent chapters, as if erased or deliberately concealed. Some sages whisper that her role exceeds what is recorded in the sacred texts, that she embodies an act or a truth that even the prophets dared not transcribe. Thus, Lilith remains an enigma, a figure whose shadow stretches far beyond the words inscribed in divine chronicles.

Origins

She belonged to the Lithoriani, a semi-nomadic people wandering among ponds where water lilies flourished in timeless serenity. Skilled gatherers, they survived on wild berries and roots buried beneath the damp soil, mastering the art of distinguishing mushrooms that heal from those that harm. The Lithoriani were also readers of the firmament. To them, the stagnant waters of the marshes, from which reeds and lilies arose, were sacred sanctuaries. Each plant, each creature thriving in this ecosystem embodied a fragment of the natural cycle they revered. The Lithoriani believed the ponds to be mirrors of the soul, and in their rippling surfaces, they sought messages from the stars and ancient water spirits. Lilith is said to have grown up amidst the mists of the marshes, protected by the creatures and plants that thrived there.

It is told that she could sing to the lilies and lotus, causing them to open at night and reveal secrets buried beneath their roots. Her voice, soft and mysterious, soothed troubled spirits and warded off the shadows prowling near the reeds. Lilith carried within her a secret inscribed in the very currents of her blood. Lilith became known as the Weaver, a title tinged with both reverence and fear. Some claimed that her creations were not innocent: they formed an invisible web, a cosmic trap meant to ensnare the Light and favor the growing shadows. One day, when a man walked upon the sacred waters of the Lithoriani to proclaim that the God of Light had chosen her as His bride, she stood before him, silent. The ponds stirred, and the lilies rose, weaving a living armor around her soul.

History

The clan of Adam, Our Revered Father had heard of the legends whispered around the sacred ponds of the southern lands of Aenigma. It was said that a young girl was born from the petals of a silver water lily on a night when the moon bathed the waters in a spectral glow. The Lithoriani, witnesses to this event, saw her as a blessing from Bellyem, a living manifestation of the harmony between Nature and the Living. Her hair flowed like the reflections of calm waters, and her eyes bore the shifting gleam of the stars.

Adam reported that Lilith spent countless hours weaving delicate works from threads drawn from the sacred lilies of the ponds. Each thread, diaphanously luminous, seemed to capture the reflections of the stars and the whispers of the waters. This ritual was not a simple pastime: it was an all-consuming obsession, a meditative act of surrender in which she seemed to seek hidden truths within the cosmos. The patterns she wove, intricate and mesmerizing, evoked constellations or infinite spirals, as if her art sought to reconstruct a lost harmony between worlds.

Adam, chosen to be the first among men, regarded Lilith with a curiosity mingled with respect. She, the Weaver, immersed in her obsessive craft, seemed to be searching for a truth concealed within the fibers of the lilies. In the silence of her nimble hands, Adam saw a mysterious wisdom, a profound knowledge, that he believed they could share. He granted her his trust, and over time, his favor. His benevolent gaze accompanied her as she spun and wove, alone, in the soft light of the ponds.

Betrayal

When the secret of The Egg of Wonder was finally revealed to Adam, a truth so ancient and powerful
that it could reshape everything, Lilith, in an act of profound betrayal, turned her back on
the one who had shown her trust. In a flash of treachery, she struck him and, with
a final defiant breath, fled with The Egg, sealing her fate. The pain of betrayal left Adam
drained and vulnerable, unable to pursue her. His loyal men could not find her either.
Thus began Adam's quest, the Pilgrim, the Wanderer, searching for the lost Egg.
He had no purpose but to recover what was stolen and to mend the wound
inflicted upon the heart of the universe. From his search would arise a story
of redemption, but also of inevitable tragedy. Adam's fate was now entwined
with that of the Egg of Wonders, lost in the shadows of distant, unreachable
waters, awaiting rediscovery by those who still dared to believe. When
she was banished, it is said that her webs remained, drifting among
the reeds and haunting the places where she had once created.
Fragments of silk with shifting hues still occasionally appear in
deep ponds, a lingering reminder of her presence and her
unyielding obsession with weaving the threads of fate.

Mysteries

Lilith, the Weaver of Lilies, was not merely a
figure of mystery but the very embodiment of pride.
Born from an unyielding desire to surpass divine law, she
set herself against the Work of God,drawn to the whispered temptations
of the Void. Her pact with the Shadow was open defiance, a dagger against
the sacred order. While God shaped the Cieux, Lilith sought to wield true power,
believing it lay not in light but in the freedom of chaos. The Egg, symbol of creation,
became her instrument of rebellion; by stealing it, she sought to claim ascension by herself.
Prophetic texts recount her fall as the ultimate hubris: a mortal challenging Light. She wished not only to defy but to replace, forging a world where light would fade and Shadow would reign unchallenged. Marked by the Cieux as a plague upon creation, she strode forward, trailing darkness like a cloak, as even the stars dimmed beneath the weight of her pride.

The Lord’s Rays

In the religion of the The Rays of the Lord, pride is considered the ultimate sin, for it is the fruit of Lilith's original rebellion. Through her pride, she defied the sacred order established by God and shattered the delicate balance between light and shadow. It was her temptation to rival the divine that caused the fall of the world, an act that poisoned the hearts of both the living and the dead. By seeking to rise above her mortal condition, Lilith inflicted an incurable wound on the human soul: the belief that one can reject the light without suffering its consequences. This is why pride, an echo of the original transgression, is seen as the gateway to perdition.
The prophecy teaches that her punishment is imminent: a day will come when the Lord, with his radiant beams of justice, will purify the world of pride and forever erase the trace left by Lilith and her malice. Only those who humbly surrender to the Lord's light can hope to escape this final judgment.
