IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

Kylia is an agility ranged hero who swarms the battlefield with bees and honey.

LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

From the heart of the Honeycomb Peaks, Kylia emerged not as a queen content with tradition, but as a visionary. She saw the world's brewing chaos, a threat far greater than any internal squabble among her kind. Unlike her predecessors, Kylia sought unity among all Hymenoptera – the fierce Hornets, the agile Wasps, and her industrious Bees. She left her static throne, venturing forth to bridge ancient rivalries. Through personal demonstrations of her power and intellect, she proved that true strength wasn't found in solitary rule, but in interconnected purpose. Kylia didn't demand fealty; she earned it by fighting alongside them, showing how their combined might could overcome any peril. Now, Kylia enters the fray, a political figure more than a mere monarch. She embodies the unified swarm, a testament to her belief that even the smallest, when bound by a common cause, can become an unstoppable force against the greater enemies of existence. She fights to prove that a true queen leads by empowering all.
