The '''Silent Saint''' is a deceased [[Aeginae]] whose frozen remains are located in the [[Reach]].<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Silent_Saint#Story_description|Story description|Sunless Skies}} ''"A vast sheet of ice has frozen over the ossified corpse of a vanquished beast."''</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Silent_Saint#Interactions|Breach the ice with your mining equipment|Sunless Skies}} ''"+10 x Attention: the Burrower Below"''</ref> Numerous explorers have tried to breach the ice entombing the Saint in search of riches,<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Silent_Saint#Story_description|Story description|Sunless Skies}} ''"The surface is pockmarked with failed mining attempts. [...] abandoned mining equipment litters the ice like discarded toys. [...] Legends and rumours gather about the beast entombed below; a mythic hoard yet unclaimed."''</ref> but the cruel and frigid conditions here make mining a difficult endeavor.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Silent_Saint#Interactions|Command your crew to break the ice|Sunless Skies}} ''"Your crew embark onto the ice, [...] Attempts at songs spark and die, as do the torches. The ice resists your blows and a fierce, gnawing dark draws in. As the temperature plummets, someone mumbles the Lord's prayer. [...] The wind howls; the cold bites. [...] Not all of your crew return from their labours."''</ref> The corpse of the Silent Saint is armored in tough grey scales,<ref name = "diamond">{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Under_the_Ice#Interactions|Recover scales to mend your hull|Sunless Skies}} ''"[...] you carry away seven scales, the colour of slate and the consistency of diamond.

[...] you've made enough of a gap to extract several stones. They are as heavy [...] Bereft of the gems, the mottled under-flesh of the Saint begins to weep milky pus. It's time to be away."''</ref> The Saint's body is also covered in many, many eyes, though most are now gone, leaving only their sockets behind.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Under_the_Ice#Interactions|Look into the Saint's Eye|Sunless Skies}} ''"The eye was once one of many. Empty sockets gape along the shell; each the size of a well."''</ref>

The cause of the Silent Saint's death is unknown, but according to legend, it died from gorging itself on [[hours]]. While the veracity of this tale is uncertain, the Saint's stomach is indeed still full of half-digested hours.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Under_the_Ice#Interactions|Recover Unseasoned Hours|Sunless Skies}} ''"Legend tells that the Saint gorged itself to death on a trove of hours. [...] The hours are located deep in one of its stomachs; half digested but intact."''</ref> Prior to its death, the Silent Saint sought to destroy the flower known as [[Titania]]. Titania was meant to grow "large and perfect," but it "debased" itself on stolen nectar and attracted [[Chorister Bees]] to become a hive. The Saint deemed Titania's actions amalgamy and tried tearing it to pieces,<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Under_the_Ice#Interactions|Look into the Saint's Eye|Sunless Skies}} ''"Inside, you see an image. 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."''</ref> but its crusade failed, and Titania continues to thrive.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Titania#Log_Entries|Log Entries|Sunless Skies}} ''"A buzzing sound in the air. The Repentant Devil is restless. "Titania always called them.""''</ref>
