Lilia, Goddess of Vebastonne and of Martial Prowess
The Lady of the Lake, The Lady
Lilia is one of the patron goddess of Vebastonne, and is the goddess of chivlary, bravery, honor, and purity. While The Flame espouses spiritual purity and the like, Lilia does this as well, but has far more of a focus on martial excellence, for to fight with honor and valor can grant a warrior her blessing. Many knights seek to earn her blessing, and be bestowed magical weapons or even sup from her golden grail that she grants to only the bravest knights of the land. These knights will quest within Vebastonne and beyond, fighting enemies of Lilia and her sister Morgina and defending the weak. Those that follow Lilia are considered pure of heart and selfless in the extreme, and because of this the majority of people who worship her are the knights of Vebastonne, however nothing stops even the lowliest peasant from worship the beautiful Lady of the Lake, Lilia.
Due to her similarity to the Flame, some of the Church of the Flames top scholars argue that Lilia is a Vestoni interpretation of The Flame, but the Vestoni argue against this, not wanting to be bound to the churches strict doctrine, which has led to some friction.

Light, War, Zeal, Protection
Artifacts
The Grail is the thing that Knights Gallant seek, and to drink from it is to become a living saint. A knight must prove themselves to be the purest of heart, and absolutely selfless in their pursuit for justice and what is good in the world. She also guides knights to the relics of the old heroes, so they may gain even more power by wielding their magical artifacts. It is said when these great heroes die Lilia moves their body around into places to test those seeking their power, and they rarely show up to the same place, meaning that the quest for these relics is almost always unique.
Holy Books & Codes
The Law of the Lake, is the holy book of Lilia, and the very thing Vestoni society is built on, and to this day remains part holy book, part law book, given to Giles d'Allee to help unify the realm under one banner and one king.

Divine Goals & Aspirations
In truth, Lilia is as mysterious as her sister. Gilles whispered of some goal that the twin goddess chose for the Vestoni, for they saw great potential in the tribes of Vestoni, but no one is quite sure what that is. She interacts with her mortal followers in whispers and strange ways, and is closely related to the fey like nature of the land, much like her sister Morgina. With the ever darkening nature of the world, some wonder if Lilia and Morgina's goals will finally come to pass.
