Not everyone got out.

When the blonde warrior fought the foundry guards, then spearheaded the breakout … some prisoner-workers weren’t near enough; followed, but found the gateway sealed against their own escape.

Under new management, the tyranny continued. Those who remained, however, remembered. Circulated whispers of courage. Defiance. Rebellion.

Victory.

The eventual revolution took time, but was ultimately inevitable.

Centuries afterward, the histories still tell of how it all began. Of the warrior … and of her leader, who personally killed the tyrant.

Both are revered, but the greater fame is reserved for the Deliverer.

“Lily! Eternal honor unto her name!”
