Eileithyia

Type: Deity First Appearance: Book 6, Chapter 17

Overview​

Eileithyia is the Greek goddess of childbirth, active during the Floor 8–9 crawl season and sponsored by the alien Huanxin Jinx. As part of the 12th-floor Ascendency game, she recruited the unsponsored goddess Yemaya as her retainer — a resurrection facilitated by crawlers who repaired her shrine. On Floor 8, she offered divine boons to Katia Grim, resolving the curse from the Crown of Sepsis Whore tiara.

Known Facts​

  • Greek goddess of childbirth. Immortal deity. Level unspecified. Season sponsor: Huanxin Jinx of the Grixist Swarm, CEO of Icon Industries.
  • For the Ascendency game on Floor 12, sponsored deities may recruit one unsponsored deity as a retainer. Eileithyia's retainer is Yemaya, who was resurrected when crawlers repaired her shrine on Floor 8 (arranged by Huanxin through Eileithyia's quest interface).
  • On Floor 8, Katia Grim worshipped Eileithyia and was offered three boons: (1) triple Constitution; (2) impregnation, which would immediately remove her from the dungeon; or (3) transfer to the 12th floor as Eileithyia's intern. The chosen option resolved the curse placed by the Crown of Sepsis Whore tiara.
