"The Regent — who commanded authority in the king's stead."

The item upon his head signifies authority, as with an aura he has that causes wanderers and entities alike to respect him. However, the Sovereign is also quite dangerous, as everything he touches will instantly turn to mere crystal.

Stupor
Y'liad Elyion
"Through the halting of death, I uphold Stupor and bring care to the bodies of the dead, preserving their mortal forms in an eternal pause, permanent and stagnant. But the duty that is my destiny is reviled by the common people, so as to say I am more monster than god, a beast that feeds only on corpses to fulfill a disgusting purpose."
Y'liad Elyion, the Undertaker better known as the Greyking, is the upholder of Stupor through the preservation of death. A God who was entrusted with the deaths of everything in all the realms yet rejected by its people in all the ways possible. His way of burial was the halting of death through Stupor, the preservation of bodies in his Greyflesh, so as to respect their ephemeral forms in a state of permanence. However, this method was not accepted by the common people of the kingdom and instead reviled and said to be blasphemous. His reputation grew against him and he was seen as no more than a beast pretending to give bodies a proper burial. He was exiled from Alpha-Omega after a grave crime he committed against the people and the Court, therefore entitling himself as the Butcher by all gods and men.

"Sacrifice Is The Biggest Part Of Love, The More One Loves The More One Will Suffer, Because One Will Sacrifice Everything For Love, Even If It Means Falling Apart And Losing Who They Once Were, Sacrificing Everything To Protect Those That Are Loved, No Matter The Price. That Is The Power That Love Has Over A Mind."

During the brink of death she showed resilience in persisting to live, for the love she felt towards others, that burning determination to protect and to maintain a promise.

Now she serves the great Priestess as a warrior of Sacrifice, ready to wield her sword to protect those in need.
