Lilitha

Lilitha was a famous hunter and explorer during the early days of Isparian settlement on Dereth. She was known for her finely crafted bows, which include Lilitha's Bow and the Exquisite Elari Wood Bow. At some point prior to Harvestgain, 11 P.Y. (Hollow Victory, when Martine was introduced) Lilitha was captured by Virindi, most likely on the then still undiscovered island of Marae Lassel. In Coldeve, 13 P.Y. (Fever Dreams) it was discovered that she was being held by the Virindi in the Portal Space dungeon and experimented on by Aerbax. These experiments had led to the creation of Martine. Lilitha is still trapped in Portal Space to this day.

Original Rumor:

Lilitha's Bow

In the first years of the Aluvian people's freedom, the huntress Lilitha roamed the Tiofor Wood, living the vagabond's life. Renowned as an exceptional shot, Lilitha - so the legends say - could kill a Shreth running at full gallop with a single arrow. Such feats owed at least as much to her finely crafted bows as to her skill as an archer.

Lilitha was capricious by nature, however, and seldom held on to a bow for long. She would no sooner finish making one before starting to carve another, better weapon; when she finished making a new bow that satisfied her exacting needs, she would leave the old one behind. It is said that some of her earlier bows, which are both quicker to draw and stronger of pull than those to be found in common bowyers' shops, can still be found in the wood.
