Seems classic, as far as hero folklore goes. I'm sure hundreds of people prayed to the gods and begged for forgiveness when things were getting rough, but the story sounds better when you imagine a pure maiden offering herself up to some vicious monsters in an act of sacrifice.

And you're not exactly wrong more than you are exaggerating, but it's probably worth mentioning that Enlightened seem to just be stronger Earthkin. With more abilities.
