As part of this Archfiend Reveal, we are proud to announce @MissTwisteddd as our Official Cosplay Ambassador for Lilith! You can find more information and photography at the bottom of this Reveal Post, but we encourage you to take a peek at their latest Tiktok, which shows the Process Behind Creating a Lilith Cosplay!
Onto your regularly scheduled programming...
Step into the abyssal realms of Hell once more, brave wanderer, for here, amidst the darkest recesses of Hell, another enigmatic Archfiend has emerged from the shadows to seize your attention...
Were you among the curious souls who traversed the veiled domains of Empyria, domain of the Fairest of the Fallen, Andromalius? Or perchance, have your footsteps only now echoed through this accursed hall?
Origin aside, heed some advice.
In this theatre of malevolence, don’t cast your eyes upon the Archfiends whose voices purr in the ear of their puppets, or those whose opulent displays dazzle like gold and gemstones. The true art of manipulation often flourishes in ritual, of shredding away lies to reveal the bare truth beneath.
Her name is a clandestine whisper, a snake through the corridors of damnation. A name that strikes both awe and trepidation in her magnitude. Old as the Tyrant’s mythos itself, she is said to have walked alongside the first man.
She who will not be quieted nor subdued, first wife of Adam, tossed below in disregard, marked as “night monster”, “screeching owl”, “she-demon”.
She is the harbinger of fury, the festering of a forgotten wound, the righteousness of retribution.
She is the Scorned.
Welcome, none other than …
The Scorned will be a favorite for those who enjoy rituals.
Lilith is a master of sorcery, seeking to profit off the accumulation of potent knowledge. To play Lilith is to use shadowy rituals to spy on unsuspecting enemies, then make strategic moves to exploit these weaknesses.
Lilith’s Starting Stats
The Third Eye
Lilith is the embodiment of the cunning underdog, an Archfiend who thrives amidst the darkness, driven by a burning desire for retribution and power. Lilith will be often utilized by players for her dynamic playstyle and capacity to dance on the precipice of shadow and light, wielding cunning and charisma with equal mastery.
Disciples of Lilith, Lilith’s Personal Legion
‘Sela’, Lilith’s Stronghold
Summoning Lilith
Lilith was initially modeled around a classic evil sorceress, like Disney’s Malificent. Initial concepts were hopeful but didn’t quite capture the pure contempt and savagery that Lilith should hold. So … what if her bitterness literally had twisted her? Physically?
In ancient Hebrew-language texts, there’s a reference to Lilith as the ‘screeching owl’. That conjured up some interesting options. An owl is a night creature and predator … who stares into your soul with glowing eyes, out of the night. It made sense to have Lilith slowly consumed by the beast.
@MissTwisteddd Collaboration: Creating Lilith!
"So I just finished one of the coolest things I've ever created. This is Lilith, from the upcoming game Solium Infernum ... I partnered with League of Geeks to bring one of their Archfiends to life. Being a masochist for complicated design, of course I chose to create Lilith."
"So the last few weeks have been a whirlwind of cutting up feathers, scales and claws, and figuring out how to make these wings move. Honestly these wings took a billion years of trial and error to get right, but I'm so happy with how this turned out!"
We think it looks so awesome, and we hope you love it too!
Will you conquer Hell with Lilith?
See you in Hell,
Ty.

If you've made it this far, thanks for following along. I intend to share more posts like this, detailing the development process as it unfolds and exploring the unique challenges the privilege of re-imagining a cult classic like Solium Infernum for new (and old!) audiences holds.
For now, you can join the League of Geeks Discord community for all the infernal news and discussion.
We're actively entering into our Playtesting era for Solium Infernum, so if you wanted to be part of that, we definitely encourage you to hop in the Discord. More information will come soon there!
P.S. You can support us and our re-imagining of Vic's "diamond in the dark" by Wishlisting Solium Infernum on Steam, if you haven't already. Wishlisting tells the all-great Steam algorithm that people like what they’re seeing and gets us in front of more eyes.
