Lady Xay¹¹ is a goddess of creativity, wisdom, and craftiness. Her allegedly unjust death led to her being regarded as a deity of justice able to avenge other victims of injustices (according to post-apocalyptic Thean beliefs, such a death in addition to being a great figure during one's lifetime boosts one's spirit's power as a posthumous god). In fact, she is worshipped by both powers that be and dissidents in Thean society. | Lady Xay¹¹ is a goddess of creativity, wisdom, and craftiness.

The only scholarly consensus about Xay¹¹ is that a woman named [given name] Xay¹¹ existed, that she was a composer, and that she was murdered or executed. Detailed reconstructions of her life and work are an area of debate. Due to the lack of sources from her life, a minority of Angaian historians posit that Xay¹¹ is a purely mythical figure. | The only scholarly consensus about Xay¹¹ is that a woman named [given name] Xay¹¹ existed, that she was a composer, and that she was murdered or executed.
