Lilith, succinctly put, is poison, and though the Covenant prevents me from speaking of what she was in the Age Beyond Remembrance, this much I can say: Lilith is not the heroic woman she's oft pretended to be. I know the tale - that she was the first wife of the first man, and that for refusing to lay beneath her husband when they copulated, she was cast from the Garden of Eden. But this goddess, who travels most often as a giant black widow or some cross between a vampire and succabae, is in truth a netherworld rapist, one who's conceived a great many demonic children by arousing mortal men through her erotic midnight visitations. And few know of her, this second-tiered goddess, which raises the disturbing possibility that as we try desperately to steer free of Ragnarok, we risk stumbling blind into a future spun of the Widow's macabre design.
