Background

She never speaks. She never intervenes. She simply arrives - pale, cloaked, and barefoot, with a lantern that glows only when danger draws near.

Elathe walks the borderlands of the Abyss, passing through broken halls, dream-thin forests, and hollowed plains with the stillness of someone not trying to survive, only to warn.

When she appears, monsters follow. Not by choice - but because she's always one step ahead of what must be feared.

She does not look back.

She only looks at you - and waits to see if you understand.

Description

Traits / Abilities

  • Lantern of Foresight - Her lantern glows in the presence of incoming threats. The brighter the flame, the closer they are. Some say it burns before the danger exists.
  • Omened Presence - When Elathe appears, the very air changes - color drains slightly, time slows, instinct sharpens.
  • Silent Direction - She gestures with precision and calm, never rushing, always warning. Following her path often leads away from death. Not always safely.
  • Veilskin - She cannot be harmed. No monster strikes her. No trap springs beneath her step. Not from reverence - from recognition.
