Lore & Background
Despite the efforts of many, including the Dragon, the first Sword Saint and the Sage, Satella could not be killed. Instead she was sealed in a shrine at the Grand Cascade, which the Sage still watches over.
Because Satella was a silver-haired half-elf, her actions left severe prejudice against half-breeds, especially half-elves like Emilia, who strongly resembles her.
