Prayer to the Empress No. 113:

Ask for grace, and ask for clarity,
Forever find the empress' charity.

PLEASE WRITE YOUR PRAYER TO THE EMPRESS BELOW THE LINE.
SEAL AND DEPOSIT IT IN THE OFFERING URN.

------------Empress Chang'E,

My friend. It seems strange to say that. Long has it been since I have addressed you as such. Since the Wu Xing Dynasty invaded our world, all we do is discuss the White Tiger Empire--how to defend it and what we both must do to preserve it. Do you remember our long days training together? The notes we would pass to each other during lessons? The fits of laughter we would have to stifle in front of your royal escort? Some days I wish we could go back to that time and the peace of the White Tiger Empire, but those times have ended--and so will our empire if what the dwarves say is true.

I have journeyed to Thuricvod, the dwarven stronghold, and have committed troops to protecting it as you commanded. The dwarves are aiding us, and the powerful, inscrutable cyclopes were as well--for a time. But the battle against the Wu Xing is going poorly. The dwarves stood by our side, but the cyclopes have retreated back through their rift to their own world and, the risks of our own being too great, have barricaded their rift from their side.

Seeing nothing here but defeat, the dwarves are considering retreat as well, but wish to end the threat on our world permanently. They will destroy the rift to their world, in hopes of collapsing the nearby rift to the Dark World. Our world will be safe--but at a price. Both Thuricvod and the White Tiger Empire will be decimated by the energies unleashed by the collapse. The dwarves have already begun their evacuation, some back to their homeworld and some to establish a new settlement to the east away from the impending cataclysm.

The dwarves have advised me that we should begin our evacuation. Whatever we do, they will still carry out their plan--and soon.

My friend, my empress… Let me know what is to be done. The dwarves have told me that the Lotus Temple high atop The Red Mountain is a safe refuge. I will wait there for your reply.

With Great Sincerity,
Yi-Lin

Prayer to the Empress No. 59:

In times of prosperity, in time of woe.
All honor to the empress must still go.

PLEASE WRITE YOUR PRAYER TO THE EMPRESS BELOW THE LINE.
SEAL AND DEPOSIT IT IN THE OFFERING URN.

-------------Glorious Chang'E,

Your reply fills me with hope. That you have made peace with our enemies, the Red Panda, and entreated the Moon Guardians to raise our great empire to the clouds is a miraculous feat. May the new Cloud Tiger Empire forever be blessed!

But with grief I look upon the sacrifices we both must make to preserve our beloved country. You must ascend to the Moon, share your rift magic with the Jade Rabbits and retire as empress, becoming an immortal goddess there.

And I must do as you have ordered. I will remain here and rededicate this temple to you, Chang'E, now Goddess of the Moon. I have already drank the draught the rabbits prepared for me so that I may guard the rift here--the last rift to the Cloud Tiger Empire. I feel it already working, quietly pulling me into slumber and transforming me into a jade statue--a Jade Sentinel.

Go safely on your journey and know that if the Wu Xing return to this valley, I will wake and defend our empire from trespassers.

Forever I pledge my fealty to you and the empire. I hope that someday in the future we will meet again though both of us will have much changed.

Your Eternal Friend and General,
Yi-Lin

-------------Chang'E,

Forgive my lack of ceremony for I am writing in haste.

I awoke to the sound of the temple's alarm sounding. There are trespassers here! First, an elf came to me, but not an elf as we are used to dressed in leaves and loincloth. This elf seemed to be from a civilized culture, clothed in robes of a foreign cut but of fine fabrics like those made in our empire.

She spoke to me in an unfamiliar language. I conversed with her in broken elvish, but finally we both settled into speaking dwarvish. She called herself Reve and told me I had woken over a thousand years in the future. She claimed had been studying our culture and wished to be granted access to the Cloud Tiger Empire.

I know not what made me feel uneasy about her, but I could tell something was amiss. Around her was an aura of power but… perverted?

I told her no, and in that instant she summoned many of what appeared to be half-formed, unstable rifts. Members of the Wu Xing Dynasty flooded into the temple.

I made quick work of the Wu Xing, but getting rid of the elf has not been as simple. I have sealed the minor rift to the Cloud Tiger Empire; only you may now open it with your rift key. I have also barricaded the doors to the inner shrine so that I may escape without being followed.

I entreat your wisdom, Chang'E. The Wu Xing have returned--and have made allies. I will make my way east in search of our people and the dwarves who chose to remain here. We must strike back and rid our world of the Wu Xing--again!

I await your orders, my empress and immortal goddess!

Your Jade Sentinel,
Yi-Lin

Lore from Character Bio

In the Bios there is a story line, most reference this story line. The story has some side plots that form branches. This Summary is part of the main plot and contributes to the Main Story Line

This is a few prayers made by Yi-Lin to her friend and goddess Chang'E. Yi-Lin and Chang'E were trained together in the White Tiger Empire (Another world). Yi-Lin was sent to the world of Centre to defend the rift in Thuricvod with the Dwarfs and cyclopes, against the Wu-Xing invading through one of the rifts. Yi-Lin provided her own troops to defend Thuricvod. The Cyclopes retreated back to their own world and barricaded their rift from their side (To find out what happened to the Cyclopes read Stinkeyes Bio). The Dwarfs then decide to close their rift back to Thur knowing this will destroy Thuricvod and the White Tiger Empire (This is the Great Shift talked about in Gabs Bio). Yi-Lin decides to stay in the world of Centre in the Lotus Temple on top of the Red mountain to protect the last rift to the Empire. Chang'E unites the White Tiger Empire and forms the Cloud Tiger Empire and gets the Moon Guardians to raise the Empire into the clouds (to avoid destruction?). Chang'E then has to go to the Moon and give her rift magic to the jade rabbits, so she becomes a immortal (The Jade Rabbit appears in Chinese Folklore, He makes the elixir of life on the moon). Yi-Lin decides to drink the Rabbit drought which turns her into a Jade Statue eternally protecting the rift. After over a thousand years Yi-Lin is woken up by the Temples alarm to find an Elf has broken in. Yi-Lin talks to Reve (the elf) until Reve requests entry into the Cloud Tiger Empire. Yi-Lin said no because of the Unknown power surrounding the elf. Reve then opens many small unstable rifts with Wu-Xing swarming through them. Yi-Lin deals with the Wu-Xing easily and closes the rift back to the Cloud Tiger Empire, the rift can only be opened by Chang'Es Rift Key. Yi-Lin then leaves the shrine hoping to save this world again from another Wu-Xing invasion. Some quick information, Reve is the daughter of High Warden Naya, and probably her murderer and works in the ministry, see Deadeyes Bio. Chang'E is figure in Chinese folklore, and is hinted to also become a Hero.

Extra Lore

Yi-Lin is not just any accomplished fighter. This woman out of time was the greatest and most loyal warrior fighting in service of her friend, Chang’E, Empress of the White Tiger Empire. In centuries past, the White Tiger Empire and its allies were threatened by certain destruction as orcs and other invaders poured into their kingdoms from the Dark World. Seeing no other solution, the dwarves of Thuricvod evacuated the stone halls of their home on Centre. Fleeing to the safety of their homeworld and collapsing the portals behind them to cut off the invading forces left the White Tiger Empire with few options for its defense and even fewer allies.

Desperate for a solution to protect her people and preserve her empire, Chang’E forged new alliances and agreed to share her powerful rift magic in exchange for the White Tiger Empire’s relocation into the clouds in a bargain with the Jade Rabbits. But the Empire’s preservation came at a high cost for Yi-Lin. Left behind as the eternal guardian of the final rift to the reborn Cloud Tiger Empire, Yi-Lin transformed into the Jade Sentinel she had previously been in name only and began her watch over the Lotus Temple.

For over one thousand years Yi-Lin stood vigilant, waiting. Now a shadowy figure known only as “Reve” has unleashed unstable rifts on the Lotus Temple, renewing the ancient assault on the White Tiger Empire with the hope of reaching their new empire in the clouds. Yi-Lin, the Jade Sentinel has awoken to defend Centre once more against the hordes of orcs, soldiers, and her old enemies – the Wu Xing Dynasty.
