Symbol of the Cult of Myrmidia.
Ultima Aquila or Aguila Ultima, ("High Eagle" in the Tilean and the Estalian tongues, respectively), is the high priest of the Cult of Myrmidia. Usually there are two rival high priests of the cult, one sponsored by the High Temple of Remas, and one by the Archecclesiatium of Myrmidia in Magritta due to the rivalry between the two centres of the Myrmidian faith in Tilea and Estalia.[1a][2a]
In the Cult of Myrmidia, the high priest is determined by a ritual duel. Of course, as most of the cults are spread throughout the Empire and even beyond, the high priest is not necessarily going to be from the Empire itself. In the Cult of Myrmidia, founded in Tilea, the most devoted followers could not countenance the esteemed office going to an Imperial.[2a]
The Glorious Leader of the Order of the Righteous Spear is only answerable to La Aguila Ultima in Estalia, to whom the original Empire Knights swore fealty, which is a source of great annoyance to Lorenzo di Marco, the actual Eagle of the North.[1a]
Notable Ultima Aquilas[]
- Isabella Giovanna Luccelli - The raven-haired woman who is the current Ultima Aquila of the Cult of Myrmidia. She also serves as the ultimate authority of the Myrmidian templars who comprise the Order of the Eagle. Despite being Tilean, she has sworn faith to the temple in Estalia, causing no small amount of controversy. She is currently seeking to calm the constant rivalry between the Myrmidian faithful of Tilea and Estalia over the location of the birthplace of Myrmidia in the Old World.[1a][2a]
