Even Nira Nightshade straightened herself in her seat before taking Eliza's name. This was the respect that would be shown from one Sage to another.
"Sage Eliza's name is too big to be erased from Anfang's lost history forever. No matter how much the Anfang Alliance tries to doctor history, it can't get rid of that name.
Sage Eliza was an exception among exceptions. They said that even the Titans had acknowledged her powers. Even they found no shame in attacking Eiiza in groups when she was on the battlefield.
I don't know how true this is. But it was said that she had started killing Sage-level Titans while she was half-step Sage rank. And when she eventually became a Sage, even a group of Titans was not enough to overpower her.
Some records even mention that the Witch of the Enderflame once fought with seven Titans at the same time. And one of them was said to be a pseudo-Saint rank existence."
