Lilia goes to an evil druid she knows for the good reincarnation, the one that leaves you looking like a younger version of yourself. She starts showing a Lawful rather than a Lawful Evil alignment aura, because she knows how to do that. She doesn’t actually atone. She feels vague contempt for the concept. It won’t change where she goes when she dies, and while she does not really believe that her deeds would on the whole be considered Evil with the right framing she doesn’t particularly want to do any gymnastics to tell a different story internally about what she did and why. The gods can judge her if they can get their hands on her.

Her international contacts mostly answered to her in her capacity as spymaster, and then to her successors, and are now all lost. Her domestic contacts mostly answered to her personally, often not knowing that was who they reported to, and the smart ones have fled the country but that leaves quite a few who are very prideful, or very stupid, or who are savvy enough to correctly suspect they can come out ahead in the mad feeding frenzy that is the dissolution of the entire governing apparatus of Cheliax.

The feeding frenzy is without any precedent she can think of, and she adores it. The Church is out, obviously, and its property being divided up among the churches approved to take its place, wide-eyed young people who learned of their new gods by radio broadcast being appointed to posts of substantial power as the clergy of major cities. The nobles are - also mostly out, if you can see the writing on the wall. They’re nearly all Evil and nearly all soul-sold and the Iomedans want spoils nearly as much as any army and are far more constrained in where they’re allowed to get them from, but Evil Asmodean nobles work great. The Crown government as separate from the nobles is in even worse disarray. Lilia saw Andoran after the revolution. You could get quite far with a powerful Good aura and a claim you’d been on the right side. And Andoran hadn’t been throwing out their non-foreign nobles.

She spends the first two months after the war rebuilding her domestic organization, at great expense which she recoups by knowing exactly when and where you can extort people for everything they own for a Teleport to Absalom. 

Her job is fairly impossible to do if you have to follow the law, but she really does her best to at least only do things that are arguably breaking it. She extorts people only about fates that she didn’t herself arrange, and when she blackmails them about crimes they are up to, she reports them to the appropriate authorities even if they pay her (never actually having promised them she’d do otherwise). She commits no murders, and prevents some here and there. When her servants annoy her she orders them out of her sight instead of having them tortured. 

And when she has the material for a really exceptionally valuable report she makes an appointment with the ruler of Cheliax, Lord Marshal Alexaera Cansellarion, under the name they were using previously. She is genuinely looking forward to it, but mostly because he can’t kill her and has got to be by this point quite unhappy about it and she really enjoys that sort of situation.
