The three guiding lanterns Maitsu carries are said to hold the last light of a forgotten age. Legend tells that as the great wizards built their midnight-dark fortress, capturing magic from the spinning monoliths above, Maitsu feared the world's original glow would be lost to ambition. So they wandered the highlands alone, gathering the last hues of a perfect sunset, the quiet hum of a crystal deep in the earth, and the warmth from a shared story. Each fragment was sealed within a lantern. They do not carry the light to fight the shadows, but to remember its warmth. Travelers say their whiskers twitch with unspoken kindness, and their gentle eyes hold a sky untroubled by sorcery, preserving a softer magic in a world obsessed with power.
