Laqeramaline; Lost In the Valley (Arknights)

Laqeramaline was the previous "Great Banshee," the leader of the Banshees' Elegiac Court. She was one of the "Six Heroes" who, under Theresa and Theresis' leadership, reorganized all of Kazdel's armed forces and launched an all-out attack against the allied forces during the Great Crusade in the Terran year 898, hence changing the tides of the battle. For decades, Laqueramaline fought side-by-side with Nezzsalem, another of the Six Heroes, against the enemies of Kazdel, especially Victorians and Gaulish.

After their pyrrhic victory, Laqeramaline made a decision to withdraw the entirety of the Elegiac Court because she was tired of the constant conflicts, thus establishing a settlement hidden from the outside world known as the "Convallis of the Banshee", which cannot be entered by any normal means. Her son, Aefanyl, later succeeded her position as the Great Banshee in the current era.

Laqueramaline is known for her gentleness and afection towards Aefanyl, whose birth is considered a miracle for her and her sisters in the Convallis. To cherish her legacy in Aefanyl's memories, she decided to use her witchcraft to preserve her young apperance. Banshees have bird wing-like structures in their heads, which sometimes led to people mistaking them for Liberi.

Most Banshees are female, and male Banshees are considered a rarity within their subrace. As a matter of fact, most of the Banshee leaders, titled the "Great Banshee", are female, and lead an appearing matriarchal society. They are also famous for their aromatic perfumes, which are specifically made for their beloved ones. It is said that their scent is strong enough that a single drop can enchant pretty much anyone, even inspiring artists. The Banshees wears a special headwear called the "Banshee's Crown" in which anyone touches it will be stunned into unconsciousness by the crown's spell.

As a member of the Royal Court's "Ten Kings", represented through the Elegiac Court, Banshees are notable for their supreme oral Arts. In fact, their oral Arts is born from the innate nature of Sarkaz witchcrafts, the defining of the ritual's "meaning." As a matter of fact, Banshees are capable of casting spells or manifest their Arts just by speaking or singing. They even have a tradition of preserving their real name by casting spell on it, and anyone who frequently writes or reads the name will face sever consequences. Like many pure-blooded Sarkaz such as the Wendigos and the Nachzehrers, they possess the ability to absorb and utilize the wrath of the deceased.

Because Banshees are regarded as "guardians of the dead," they have a culture of blowing a magical bone whistle as a sign of lamentation. Such occasion usually occurs as commemoration for the fall of a prominent figure. The Convallis of the Banshees is a valley where the surviving Banshees dwell. Following Kazdel's pyrrhic victory in the crusade of 898 under the leadership of the Six Heroes, the Banshees migrated to the valley after Laqeramaline, the tribe's lady and one of the war heroes, got tired of endless conflicts and voluntarily abandoned their quarter in Kazdel.

Ordinary people will find it hard to enter the Convallis without proper invitation from the Banshees. They will have to first pass through a golden forest at the valley's entrance protected by the Banshees' spells. After being allowed for entrance, traveler will need to walk across a stone bridge filled with thick fog, and they need to cover themselves with a veil protected with a special spell. Upon reaching the bridge's end, they have to climb stone stairs before finally reaching their settlements.

To many Banshees, the valley represents the ideal version of what Kazdel should be, a place without strife and bloodshed, though other Sarkaz have been criticising them for their comfortable life in the Convallis, saying that they are turning their backs on the struggles of fellow Sarkaz in Kazdel. Kazdel, historically Teekaz, is a Terran country that once located around the region which encompasses the modern-day Bleached Wasteland but now being a miniature city-state in the wilderness bordering Siracusa, Ursus, and Yan. It is a monarchy and the only homeland of the Sarkaz, a diasporic race that faces severe demonization across the world. The nation is viewed as the "Promised Land" of the Sarkaz led by the "King of Sarkaz," a messianic figure who could pacify the sorrows of the collective Sarkaz's dead souls, although the country has traditionally been ruled by the tribal lords of the Sarkaz Royal Court who represents the surviving pure-blooded Sarkaz tribes.

In Sarkaz culture, the concept of "Kazdel" or "Teekaz" is never meant to be a nation-state or an ethnicity, but the name for the whole world and the planet of Terra as a whole, an undisturbed paradise of the Teekaz. But their homeland was forever destroyed when the "alien" Ancients and Elders "descended" upon their world and eradicated their civilizations. Out of desperation, the first King of Sarkaz summoned the first Catastrophe in Terran history to annihilate their enemies, but their action became their "sin" that resulted in their exodus that dispersed them across Terra, forcing them to live as a race without a country and an unfortunately "cursed" people plagued with Oripathy. In the following millennia, even though the Sarkaz attempted to rebuild their nation, the monarchs of Kazdel have been facing constant betrayals and civil conflicts, turning Kazdel into a backwater country without much potential, and the never-ending wrath against other non-Sarkaz Terrans causes Kazdel to become an easy scapegoat for their discrimination and inhumane military campaigns in the name of "ending" their wrath.
