"A vast sheet of ice has frozen over the ossified corpse of a vanquished beast. The surface is pockmarked with failed mining attempts. Collapsed shafts extend into the frigid tomb, and abandoned mining equipment litters the ice like discarded toys."

The Silent Saint is a deceased Aeginae whose remains drift throughout the Reach.

Hypothermic

"Legends and rumours gather about the beast entombed below; a mythic hoard yet unclaimed."

The Silent Saint is an enormous, deceased leviathan, frozen in ice. Several mining expeditions, motivated by tales of riches and wonders, have attempted to breach its icy surface and uncover the beast's treasures within. However, such expeditions proved dangerous, as even the slightest mechanical error could result in disaster, and the cold atmosphere can freeze locomotives to the ice, damaging them.

Deep within the ice lies the Saint's body, armored in grey scales. These scales are as tough as diamond, and some hide treasures, such as gemstones. The Saint's body is also covered in many, many eyes, though most of them are now gone, leaving empty sockets behind.

"A choir of many voices; a flower meant to grow large and perfect, debasing itself with stolen nectar. A horde of Chorister bees approach, maddened and entranced. A flower that seeks to become a hive. Amalgamy. The seventh letter. The Saint begins its tearing work."

An Aeginae's eye.

Before it died, the Silent Saint traveled to the Reach to destroy the flower known as Titania. This flower sought to grow and become a hive by attracting Chorister Bees with stolen nectar, which the Saint deemed amalgamy. Thus, the Saint began its "tearing work."

However, the Silent Saint apparently died before it could kill Titania, as the flower remains alive and active. The cause of the Saint's death is unknown, but legends say it died gorging itself on hours. Regardless of this tale's veracity, the Silent Saint's stomach is indeed still full of hours, only half-digested.
