Hylia Nohansen (Total War)

Hylia is one of the leaders of the Order of the Wizzrobe and the Ancient Hylians.

Biography
Her true name and origin lost to history, Hylia was at one time the greatest mage amongst the ancient Hylians. It is possible she might have been a Sage due to her apparent immortality, but such knowledge has been lost and skewed over time. During the invasion of Demise, Hylia rose to prominence because of her remarkable talents, so much that the King of Hyrule had trusted her with saving his people from the devastation Demise and his army of Moblins had brought to Hyrule. Hylia's miraculous abilities earned her the love of many, and soon enough Hylians began to become patrons and eventually worship her. It was not uncommon to hear the name Hylia praised above even the Golden Goddesses, the deities that created Hyrule and the Hylians themselves. Hylia was soon instated as the leader of all Hylians, temporarily suspending the royal family and line of Kings established by Gustaf. Such notions went to her head however, and Hylia determined that the best way to stop Demise was to cut him off from his followers in a remorseless extermination. It was thus that Hylia personally lead armies to burn and devastate the lush Moblin homelands. Demise used such a genocide against Hylia though, claiming that she had done far more damage against the Goddesses then he ever did by warping the Hylians into her own personal cadre of worshippers. Ashamed of her horrible actions and the pride that went to her head, Hylia withdrew from her followers into hiding.

While her loyal followers romanticized and glorified her disappearance as a self sacrifice needed to destroy Demise, she asked for asylum amongst the Wizzrobe who willingly granted it. In return Hylia provided the Wizzrobe with much of their modern abilities and they worked to slowly erase all trace of her from history. It has been countless centuries since Hylia was worshiped, and to this day she remains alone and in misery over her past. The Wizzrobe's magic work was thorough: there is no evidence of her existence left in any text, not even the Sheikah or the royal family of Hyrule have any recollection of her important involvement in Hyrule's history.

Involvement
In 171 AG, with Princess Zelda V captured by the Lizalfos, the people of Hyrule become rebellious. Seeing the opportunity, Hylia comes back to the world and leads the Wizzrobes to put an end to the growing Hylian revolt. Through demonstration of her power, the people of Hyrule begin to follow Hylia. When Princess Zelda and Link return to Hyrule, Hylia and the Wizzrobes drive them out of Hyrule, denounce Zelda's authority, and becomes ruler of the Hylians again after 5126 years.

Four years into her reign, Hylia receives a letter from Zelda, where she invited her to Hyrule Field to discuss surrender. However, when Hylia and the Wizzrobes come here, instead of Zelda, they only find the Stalfos, the Gerudo and the Lizalfos under command of Lord Akazoo, Ganondorf and Nardu the White. A titanic battle ensues between the four armies, and Zelda uses this opportunity to wreck all of them in one fell swoop. Ganondorf manages to escape, Nardu and Akazoo are slain, and Hylia captured by Zelda.

Abilities
In game Hylia is able to hover as well as summon streams of fire unto enemy targets. She is also seen having geomantic powers and control of the wind as well: she levitates pieces of the earth and creates a vortex of air when fighting Demise.

In-game
In the Freeform Campaign, Hylia spawns at the start of the game as a boss unit for the Wizzrobes.

In addition to that, she is fully usable in custom battles by both the Wizzrobes and the Ancient Hylians.

Beta
Hylia was originally a false goddess created by the Wizzrobes.

Original biography
Her true origins are unknown to the those outside the Order, Hylia was a deity manifested and created by the Order of the Wizzrobe. Hungry for word from the Goddesses of Hyrule, many Hylians are now turning to the Order of the Wizzrobe and worship of Hylia simply because she is material and offers them a means of ending their starvation of divinity. In truth the Order hopes to use Hylia to expose to the masses that they have willingly turned on their values, and unleash a beast of power to enact vengeance on those that turned their backs on the Goddesses. Those that pass this test will be admitted as a true member of the Wizzrobe.
