Editing Lady of the Lake (section)

==History==
For years The Lady was thought by the playerbase to simply be [[Ariel]], the queen of the nearby [[Wood Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|Wood Elves]] manipulating the Bretonnians into doing their bidding. However, 8th edition confirmed that she is indeed a separate entity; possibly Elvish, the Wood Elves call her "Corrigyn, The Daughter of Mist". It's theorized by some that she either is or is the daughter of the Elf goddess [[Ladrielle]] who is also connected to mist. [[The End Times]] revealed she was in fact [[Lileath]] (who Ladrielle was confirmed to simply be an aspect of), and that her Damsels and Grail Knights would form the human pantheon in the new world.

She is described as having a home on the Silverspire; in the End Times, she takes the formerly-current king of Bretonnia, King Louen Leoncoeur, there to be her husband.

While she only appears before Questing Knights who prove themselves worthy, the Lady still maintains an active role in the lives of her worshipers. She chooses a mortal servant, always female, from the Bretonnian nobility called the "Fay Enchantress". The Enchantress sends messages to the nobility, and keeps an honored position in the king's court. The Fay Enchantress has supreme authority in the kingdom as her word is the word of the goddess and has in the past stripped nobility of their rank and possessions and had them exiled without question (with the Grail Knights doing the heavy lifting).

Any child born with magical talent in Bretonnia is visited by the Fay Enchantress upon reaching puberty. Before this time, some children are sent to the [[The Empire (Warhammer Fantasy)|Empire]] to be taught magic in the Colleges of Magic. The rest are taken by the Enchantress to the "Otherworld" of which nothing is known. Culturally they are treated as dead, and the males never return from what the Bretonnians ''assume'' is a happy ending (a [[Black Library]] short story eventually made the claim that the collected boy-mages are essentially press-ganged into the “Sons of Bretonnia”, an order of Grail Knights-lite with glowing skin, silver armor, and limited spellcasting ability that spend all their time fawning around the Lady like the elvish equivalent of a Japanese butler cafe, with occasional forays into helping their countryman fend off especially nasty Tomb King invasions or threats of similar scale.) Female children sometimes return however, and are known as Damsels or Prophetesses. They speak little of what they've seen and done, although they claim to have been trained by "Handmaidens of the Lady" in their magics. While they cast spells like ordinary Wizards might, their magic is primal; safer to cast due to coming from something not of the the powers of the [[Warp]] and reverse-corrupting what the Warp touches. Their magic is directly from the [[Warhammer Magic|Lore of Life]], although like [[Everqueen|the magic of the Queen of the Elves]] is not the type of Life that Wizards can use and wield via study. They are unapproachable in society, serving as advisers to nobles or tenders of the Lady's sacred sights as she sees fit to send them.

The current Enchantress is named Morgiana Le Fay, and in the End Times she was converted to vampirism then sacrificed to resurrect [[Nagash]] (possibly, as it is only mentioned in one of the two sources of the event).

If you didn't realize it by now, she's directly and unashamedly inspired from Arthurian myth. Except this time she's all over the French. (despite in Arthurian legends, the Lady of the Lake was in Northern France anyway,which makes sense since "Lancelot Du Lac" means "throws water of the lake" in French)
