Lucifer

Shard of Orisries

Stats

At first glance, it is merely a floating crystal shard. Yet within its core, unspeakable waves of terror flow and churn. Even the slightest touch from an ordinary being could trigger unpredictable changes in their flesh—their body could be twisted in an instant by the alien magic that corrodes all things, turning them into mindless monsters. Only mortals of great strength, or Caelums—those born with perfect bodies—can make contact with it without suffering any harm. Although this shard contains a power that inspires fear, its true nature is far more precious: It is a fragment of the supreme relic left to the world by god—the Orisries. The reason it has become such a dreadful object is because, in ancient times, the Orisries was shattered by someone. Its boundless power leaked outward, transforming it into the dangerous form it holds today. If we trace back to the era before it broke, the Orisries was once the mother of all life—the true origin of all existence, the beginning of every race.

"The Morning Star," "the One Loved by God," "Servant of Light," only the eldest Caelums know that Lucifer, disparaged by the Holy Church as "Pride," was once the paragon of all Caelums. Thousand of years ago, she has once tried to break the seal of the Orisries with her companion, intending to accelerate the evolution of all beings and hasten the return of god with it. However, their plan was interrupted by other Winged, leading to the unexpected outbreak of the Monster Tides. In an effort to redeem her past errors, Lucifer fled to the north with the shards of the Codex and her remaining allies, sparking a millennia-long standoff with the Holy Church. To this day, Lucifer still believes that only she can save the world and protect it from the threat of the Monster Tides, tirelessly striving to repair the Orisries. "Forward! For our grand ambitions, forward!"
