Asarou

The Warden of the Crystal Dusk, they were called. It is said that when the wizards first raised their fortress of midnight rock, they feared the shadows cast by the spinning monoliths more than any invading army. While others studied and cataloged the strange light, Asarou saw it for the trap it was—a beautiful lie that could lead souls astray. They did not ask for the Guiding Lanterns; they took them, defying the council who wished to keep the light contained for study. The elders warned that such a burden would shatter any mind. But Asarou walked the treacherous paths, their lanterns cutting through magical illusions and revealing the one true way. They became the Highlands' eternal guardian, a silent, uneasy protector against the beauty of their own home.
