Biography

Origin

Opal Luna Saturnyne

Return

Afterwards, the armies of Arrako gathered to lay siege to the Starlight Citadel itself but despite this threat Saturnyne was seemingly not worried. She watched as the X-Men intervened in the fight where they attempted to get Saturnyne to join the fight against the enemy. However, she refused and Polaris attempted to pull the Citadel down to force the Majestrix into the fight. She then arrived at the scene where she used her considerable powers to freeze time around all the combatants in the fight leaving them paralysed and unable to move. The first Horseman Death stated that Arrako would not halt in their conquest and would continue to throw the hordes of Amenth against the Starlight Citadel until it was under their rule. Saturnyne then suggested an alternative whereby a contest was made to determine the victor of this conflict whereby two groups of ten swordbearers would battle with one another. Death accepted with Saturnyne drafting Krakoa as her champions that were set to battle the Swordbreakers of Arrako. (X of Swords: Creation v1 #1)

Overview

Powers and abilities

Students and devotees of Saturnyne consisted of a series of priestesses organised into two castes that were the white and the green. The white priestesses consisted of those that had chosen to live within the confines of the Citadel and the surrounding province. Priestesses of the White only left their lady's tower by donning the crescent diadems and having a nearly faceless form where their identity was obscured so that they acted to enact Saturnyne's will. Meanwhile, the green priestesses had taken their training and knowledge to the lands outside the Citadel where they enacted their masters intent rather than her direct will. Priestesses of the Green acted as healers, hunters and keepers of the land where they followed Saturnyne's teachings as well as her intent. It was said that they were not violent but that they fiercely protected their forests. (Excalibur v4 #11)
