While most know of Saint Lucien as a High Pontiff, seldom do most know of the true history regarding the saintly figure. While not translated into the common tongue, the ‘Lucien’s Rise’ in Oyashi, shows some events at the beginning of Lucien’s life and to the modern day that I wish to share.

The conversion of Saint Lucien was one of the pinnacle in his history. Saint Lucien was born as Velwyn Ashford, being a sun worshiper from the penal colony of Ulmsbottom off of the Duchy of Gwynon. But when he came to the west, he found a priest of the True Faith that spoke to him about the repentance that no Sun can offer, but only the creator of the Sun. In that service, the saint was so moved he vowed to never sin again and was baptized directly in the fountain. A miracle was performed just by that baptism alone. While the doves coming down from the Seven Skies could be a part of it, the truth is that Velwyn had drank from the fountain - receiving eternal life.

The greater portion of his life is known to the West, having served as High Pontiff and then left during the Exodus with Emperor Horen ‘the Black’, he took up a high priestly role once more. Serving in the establishment of the Aeldinic Empire, converting his home province of Gwynon and establishing Ulmsbottom as an Owynist monastery. 

For the next hundreds of years, he served the Aeldinic Empire, being a personal missionary to the pagan nations that house Aeldin, specifically those in Ai-Zho. Lucien’s Rise does not necessarily describe his engagements with nations like cursed Cathant or the others, it does speak about the establishment of an creatorist parish on the isle of Edn. Having performed miracles there, the locals venerated him as a servant of a being higher than the kami. The Kamisama. Thus his title, Man of Kamisama was formed.

Today, the living saint is either on expedition or serving faithfully in the capital of Novos Horos. But today, I honor him with a depiction of him as he first stepped foot onto Aeldinic soil. Holding a fragmented Lectitions of Owyn and proclaiming the glory of Prophet Godfrey's Empire.


すべてのものを造られた主なる神よ、罪人である私をあわれんでください

-セント。ルシアンの祈り

 

O Lord God, maker of all, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

-St. Lucien Prayer
