Sanguine Sovereign: Lo'Nial, Lunar Witch

Queen of Madness


Lo'Nial is the infernal witch - the quintessence of madness, sacrifice and darkness. From her bleak throne she rules over the realm of Kurthia, a nightmarish hellscape that remains from the infernal reality.

Air of Apathy


To those unaware of her intentions, Lo'Nial's very existence seems like a hellish plague. The Lunar Witch sows chaos wherever she goes. The blood perpetually seeping from her hands soaks the ground everywhere she treads; and wherever the blood fertilizes the earth, a devil is born to wreak havoc on everything around it. Lo'Nial pays no mind to her twisted progeny. She seems completely ambivalent to the fact that they exist. So what dark purposes occupy the mind of this eldritch being? 

Warden of Kurthia


There are angels, and then there is God- good exists in gradations; and so does evil. Beings who know less see a nightmare in Lo'Nial and her devils, but Lo'Nial is fixed on greater nightmares. Kurthia is a prison, and in the mind of the Lunar Witch, her devils are inconsequential compared to the evils she is holding at bay...


Lo'Nial in Design


The Lunar Witch was actually the first character I designed when I started working on Legion, and she has to be one of my absolute favorites. The elements of sacrifice and madness (both definitive of infernal gameplay) came to head in her grisly design. I wanted her to have a sort of horrifying beauty - enchanting and ethereal, but inspiring insanity- just like the moon. There's a grotesque beauty in her Giger-esque headdress and entrail jewelry that's entirely her own.


Support Legion this Semptember on Kickstarter and bring the full might of the Lunar Witch to bare on your enemies forces.
