Difference between revisions of "Dawn Illoriel"

'''Dawn Illoriel''' (? - c. [[Chronos]], 331 AF) was a [[Aurora]]n [[Priest]]ess of the [[Luminai]], a group of [[Priests]] and [[Paladins]] that aggressively fought against the threat of the ancient [[Occultists]] during the [[Burning Times]]. She was one of only two Luminai to have survived into the [[Modern Age]], the other being her [[bloodsworn]], [[Gladius Dorn]].

Dawn was imprisoned by [[Belladona|Countess Belladona]] after a failed attempt on the vampiress' life. Gladius Dorn, the only other remaining member of the Luminai, ventured to [[Belladona's Keep]] to rescue her and was also forced into her service. It wasn't until the [[War of the Divine Child]] that Gladius and Dawn were able to escape. They came into possession of the [[Eye of Proteus]] and began the process of cleansing the [[Chaos Taint]] from the realm. Dawn transformed into the [[phoenix]] of legend and chased the Taint deep underground; she then devoted her remaining life energies to restoring the petrified [[Eris]], Goddess of Chaos, to flesh. Though all of this, Illoriel's life was taken.

When [[Sarapis]] saw the selfless courage and devotion that Dawn demonstrated in this act, He granted her the gift of immortality. From that point on, she would be known as [[Mithraea]], Goddess of the Sun.
