Silver Lilies is considered a terrorist group, as Ezekiel is aware of the Silver Lilies' plans for an potion attack that would turn much of Moonlight Falls' population into witches, and given that potions from Hekatonschoinos tends to suppress sexuality, the Silver Lilies' potion attack is definitely something of a bother for Ezekiel. Not surprisingly, Silver Lilies are enemies of the [[Fanon:Bronzefangs|Bronzefangs]], the preeminent werewolf clan, which unfortunately has the side effect of creating the anti-witch (and anti-[[Fanon:Kallisto Syrakosia|ge]][[Fanon:Kallistrata Pellaia|nie]]) sentiments amongst the werewolves.
== History ==
Belinda Limpwort is a hardliner, wishing to bring magic to relevancy at the times of technological dominance. To do this, Belinda believes that the legend has the answer: if Belinda can assemble a team of 5 witches, 4 for each season and 1 to serve as a balance to them all, this resulting team can do great feats and show the world that magic is not irrelevant. While the witch population of Moonlight Falls sped up the process, Belinda has a long way to go: most of the witches are not talented enough or motivated enough for this.
Then came a magic prodigy by the name of Hikari, who was also an avid social network user. Seeing some promise in this new media called social network, Belinda immediately sought to grasp that art to recruit new users, drawing from the example of the Aigyptian freedom fighters that Hikari told her about. With the social network, Belinda was able to recruit two more witches to form the team, Aikaterine and Chu-Hee, both recruited with the help of the Ecclesiarchy having a huge influence among the Greeks, and to a lesser extent, East Asians such as the Koreans. The Ecclesiarchal culture started to spread to Belinda: while Belinda believed the world to scoff at magic, the Ecclesiarchal openness to magic changed Belinda to accept the idea that magic and science are not mutually exclusive. In addition, Belinda was also injected with some of the great Greek culture due in part to both Aikaterine and the Ecclesiarchy. Belinda chose to change her approach, turning to a more Ecclesiarchy-influenced collegiate structure with a Spartan touch. Once an organization started off as a magic maniac with a small hint of inferiority complex, the present Silver Lilies is an cosmopolitan yet unified organization promoting the study of magical arts and even mixing them with technology. The Silver Lilies became an eccentric but otherwise largely benevolent organization, until Ezekiel Gretchyn came in and enacted anti-Papal policies. As solid allies of the Ecclesiarchy, the Silver Lilies stand to fight the enemy of their friends.
==Organization==
Silver Lilies operate in a guild-like fashion, recruiting members by having a master or journeyman/woman taking children away from their parents to train them in the arcane arts. Although the vast majority of Silver Lilies are female, there is no clause in the cult forbidding the presence of a male member.

*Aikaterine Larisses, the Witch of Summer
As their pro-Papal standings would indicate, they have established a chapter in the Papal Capital, unlike the fellow pro-Papal cult, the [[Fanon:Lizardworts|Lizardworts]] which has sent a member as a part of a mixed household.
Belinda, the leader, is also a charismatic speaker. While Belinda originally started off as a magic zealot, influenced by her retinue of the head witches have significantly changed Belinda.
Aikaterine is the artisan of the group. Aikaterine as someone who met Belinda through Ecclesiarchal services, came off with a bit of Ecclesiarchal influence such as handicrafts. While Aikaterine is an innate athlete and strategist given her Spartan lineage (while Aikaterine herself is born on Larissa), her current archetype of the artisan demonstrates the strength of the Ecclesiarchal influence on Aikaterine. It is Aikaterine who could be considered a key player in forming the current Silver Lilies, and also in forming it as a pro-technology witch cult compared to the other cults.
Chu-Hee is the nurturer of the group. Chu-Hee has her ties with [[Fanon:Yuri Kang|Yuri Kang]], one of the leading environmentalists in Heptanomis. Chu-Hee has learned gardening thanks to her friendship with Yuri (who was farming life fruits sponsored by Kallisto) in her stay at Heptanomis, and was chosen to be augmented with both Witch and Fairy powers by the Ecclesiarchy. Chu-Hee is also an spectacular alchemist, as her skill in blending developed from her learning Nectar Making from Yuri combined with her already good cooking skills.
Hikari is the artist of the group. If Aikaterine was the key player in forming the structure of the Silver Lilies, Hikari could be noted as the one who started the whole thing in the first place. It is Hikari that led the Silver Lilies into actively recruiting members via social network, in addition to the eventual children adoption policy later on under Ezekiel's rule of Moonlight Falls. Hikari is also a fine artist for her fairly young age, and the culture generation that Hikari provides help draw magic-positive artsy and rebel types into the Silver Lilies.
As stated above, the Silver Lilies also have other quirks that differentiate them from other witch cults: Oath of celibacy is a key element of membership, hence sexual activities are forbidden as a member of the cult. This is the reason why the Silver Lilies put effort in making a positive impact on town, as new recruits must be obtained from volunteering parents, although indebted parents (e.g. those that suffered losses that were mitigated or relieved by a Silver Lily) may be coaxed into offering the child to the cult in payment of the debt. To that method Silver Lilies maintain a solid financial basis, which was made easier with ties to the Papal potion trade. Bronzefangs suspect that the Silver Lilies also secretly cause calamities in town to have more recruits, a notion that the Silver Lilies deny vehemently, stating that the code pushes them to act positively to the neighbors.
