As the mother and father of sanctuary, Lilith and Inaruis invoke strong feelings of love and duty. For what better purpose in life than to serve the creator of the world? I explored the dichotomy of Lilith and Inaruis and wondered about what kind of worship they would evoke. As the champions, Dienna and Molvia interact closely with their patrons and show their devotion in differing ways. However, their closeness to such overpowering deities proved too much for their psyche. Each champion fell to dramatic obsession without ever truly being recognized by their Gods. Now their story can be unfurled by the player as they wander through Sanctuary and acquire these pieces of armor.
Filled with her own hatred and longing, Molvia was a devoted servant who showed little mercy to the Mother’s enemies. Serving under the daughter of hatred, Molvia had grown to obsess over Lilith and became addicted to her power. This jealousy led to her eventual devastation and the scattering of her armor.

The Madien of Inaruis had devoted her life and soul to the fallen angel. Inaruis loved once, and Dienna believed he would love again.

Eventually, Dienna fell in the holy war without any recognition from the angel she was so devoted to.
