Euergetia

Euergetia, also referred to as the benefactrix,^[1] was one of the four Harmosts of Remuria before its downfall.

Profile

Euergetia is described as kindhearted by Cassiodor, and the two of them had a sibling-like relationship.^[2] She was very knowledgeable about the nature of the "false and true celestial signs,"^[3] and she believed Erinnyes did not believe in any god at all, stating that no religious person would commit atrocities in the name of a god.^[4]

After she perished during the destruction of Remuria, Boethius wished to revive Remuria with her, but he was unable to.^[5]

Story

Euergetia was born in Remuria.^[6] As a Harmost, Euergetia had "universally known benevolence and authority," ordering the Vicarius of Legio VI Rithimi Versi, Hirtius, to compile an investigation on the society and beliefs of the northern barbarians.^[4] When she saw that the conquered tribespeople missed their native cuisines, she used her powers as a Harmost to make them vividly taste those delicious dishes in their imaginations and boost their morale. Boethius would complain about this use of her power, but never stopped her.^[6]

At some point, she entrusted Legio VI Rithimi Versi to Boethius.^[7] They intercepted Scylla's assault on Remuria, and during this time, Euergetia used blood and the bones of someone or something else to forge the chains that bound Scylla.^{[8][Note 1]}

Unbeknownst to most Remurians, Scylla's invasion was part of Remus' plan to destroy Phobos by causing his own death and having Scylla control the power that would be unleashed with the Requiem. With Scylla sealed, the resulting explosion destroyed Remuria,^[9] and Euergetia was among the casualties.^[5]

Legacy

Following Euergetia's death, the Remurian soldier Aetius recorded an epitaph, extolling Legio VI's loyalty and dedication to both Remuria and Euergetia.^[1]

Trivia

• Euergetia had a sweet tooth.^[6]

Etymology

• The name Euergetia likely comes from the epithet Euergetes (feminine: Euergetis), a title given to benefactors.
  • The epithet comes from the practice of Euergetism, where wealthy individuals would donate part of their wealth to their community.
