Lillith is Jezebel, the Whore of Bal Abillion

In each age that Lillith descends to Coera, she builds a great city, the greatest in the world, and rules it under the flag of the crescent moon.

Though the location changes to suit her needs, the name is always eerily similar: Babal (Patriarchs), Bil'Obal (Towers of the Gods), Bal Abillion (Dafyd's world), Babylon and New Babylon (Riel's world), and again Babal (Tuk's World). The city is vaunted as a metropolis, a melting pot, a place where all people may come together to establish that which has never been established, to be great as gods.

Lil does not fashion herself Queen, Empress, Regent, or any such petty titles. She is called the Jezebel, the Whore of the city. She rules, in fact, as a whore, quite literally - it is a function of her suzerain. That many of her johns become her meals is often rumor and sometimes established as public ritual, but the sacrifice and sex service the whole city and the world, and is a tax the city gladly pays. (Of course, for every one sacrifice Lil takes, there are a thousand more by her coterie).

It is usually the fall of this city that occasions the destruction of Coera and the turning of the age - the city's razing is the goal of the Apocalypse.
