Saint Clarice
Saint Clarice is the heroine of a legend told in the Empire. According to the legend, ages ago an archangel and a winged demon fought a fierce battle in the sky. The endless struggle was turning in the demon's favour when Clarice, an ordinary nun, came to the angel's aid, mounted on a noble griffon granted to her through her prayers.1
The legend holds that the saint's sword decided the battle. When the colossal demon fell to the ground in defeat, its fall formed the Mortenox crater, where the city of Vansreik stands today.1
The story fits imperial propaganda perfectly, as a magnificent example of defiance, duty and courage. Saint Clarice Day is celebrated with especially grand ceremonies in the Bluelands and Westreach provinces.1
