==Warhammer Fantasy== [[File:Lileath 2.png|thumb|right|200px|Lileath looking like she just woke up from a coma.]] Of the Warhammer world's two moons, the one that is NOT made of pure evil chaos crystals, Mannslieb, is the home to many goddesses (or maybe the same one worshiped by different races). The first of them, the elven one, is Lileath. She personally blesses good-aligned spellcasters. She's associated with innocence, forgiveness, mercy, and all those other not-grimdark things. Those among the High Elves who sin against their own race, or the Shadow Warriors who use underhanded and oftentimes downright evil tactics, rely on her to forgive them on behalf of the entire High Elf pantheon so they can be taken by to the realms of their patron god instead of becoming [[Slaanesh|Slaanesh's]] food or [[Ereth Khial|Ereth Khial's]] plaything. Lileath personally grants many magical items directly to the mortal High Elves, most of which are designed to combat the minions of [[Khaine]]. Despite this she's adorable enough that he doesn't care, and instead rightly blames the parents. Among those items are the staff [[Teclis]] carries and drains magic from to keep himself out of a wheelchair (*cough* dispel miscasts *cough*) that has a golden bust of her... naked bust on top, a bow granted to Shadow King [[Alith Anar]] designed to cause the divine wrath of the good half of the High Elf pantheon directly to mortal elves, and a necklace granted to the [[Everqueen]] (the direct line of descendants of Lileath's original mortal sister) to give to her mortal champions/lovers. In [[The End Times]], Lileath is at her most manipulative, focusing her attentions on bringing together all three elven factions into one united, anti-[[Chaos]] force. To this end, she even goes so far as to poison Ariel by burying a shard of true ice, formed in the darkness before Asuryan's light enveloped the world, in the roots of the tree in which Ariel regains her strength. As she reveals to her latest lover, [[Araloth]], after [[Malekith]] is crowned the Eternity King of the Elves, she has no plans to save the world, for it is beyond saving. Instead, she has spent her efforts and her power strengthening her daughter by Araloth, and opening a portal to a world innocent of Chaos's touch. With the last of her strength, she imbues Araloth with some deific energies and sends him through the portal, there to join their child and guardian spirits fashioned from the souls of Bretonnia's greatest knights (which she acquired in her other incarnation as the [[Lady of the Lake]]). Before she does, she reveals that the death of the world is inevitable, a part of a great cycle that has repeated itself since the dawn of time; a Creator arises and gives life to a barren world, then his family quarrels, culminating in blows that disrupt the world's precious balance and allows Chaos to pour in through the wounds, inevitably consuming the world. Asuryan was the Creator for this world, and now she wishes for Araloth and their daughter to be the Creator for the next. Though Araloth feels betrayed, he succumbs to her arguments and vanishes into the new world, even as Lileath remains behind. Her intention is to ensure the elves sacrifice themselves to the last, weakening Chaos so that Araloth and his future family will have millennia of peace before they must face the Dark Gods. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT- [[Mannfred von Carstein|Mannfred]] was freed from his prison by [[Be'lakor]] in exchange for ratting out Lileath. Be'lakor tracked her down, found out about her new plan, and possibly destroyed the Warhammer cycle, resulting in [[Age of Sigmar]] instead. It's not explicitly stated whether Chaos consumed the world or not, only that she herself lost the connection to the world. She herself is discovered by the Bretonnians (who had been tipped off by the now free [[Mannfred von Carstein|Mannfred]]), who abandon her and die attempting to flee home rather than participate in the final battle. Lileath dies (sacrificed by Teclis at her request) along with everything else other than [[Sigmar|a]] [[Malekith|handful]] [[Everqueen|of]] [[Tyrion|marketable]] [[Nagash|characters]] ([[Settra the Imperishable|and]] even a few of them didn't survive).
