Lantern Archon

Lantern Archons may be the simplest of their kind, but they come with some interesting and thematic abilities attached; my personal favourite among them is its ability to pull off a power-rangers combiner transformation.

Thematically, they are supposed to represent a glimmer of hope, so throwing one as a guide in your characters' darkest moment might not be a bad idea either.

Hook 1 (Max) - The Purging Sky

Weird lights started appearing all over the world. Shining geometric shapes, flying at ludicrous speed, until they stop and hang in place. Attempts at touching them resulted in severe injuries, and several had been since shot from afar.

They are not some magical anomalies, as many speculate, but emissaries, taking up their spots, growing more numerous by the day. It will not take long before they blanket the sky. The nights are already as bright as day.

They wait until all of their brethren arrive. Once this happens, they shall shine with blinding light and give their message, a unified, thundering voice roars throughout all of the world.

"This world has become unpure and full of sin. We are the harbingers of its cleansing. Prepare for the healing flames to envelop you."

And with that, both skies and earth shall part.

Hook 2 (Nemanja) - Shadow of the Lantern's Light

All is not orderly in the archon city of Everlight.

A flock of lantern archons have refused to split again after bonding, and are now stuck in their combined state. What is more, they are accepting more and more archons into the mix, growing considerably more powerful. However, they are still acting as simple lanterns, traveling to the mortal plane to help out wherever they can. As power draws power, and the entity keeps growing, nasty things have started following in its wake...

Hook 3 (Reece) - Beacon in the Night

The great city of Reylar's Rest is anything but restful these days. For the last few months, pressure has been building in the city. A bad crop, widespread disease, and the rumor of demons at work within the city have all caused outbursts of violence against the general situation, and against the noble and merchant classes that much of the common folk blame for the situation.

You are a member of this underclass, though you have yet to participate in any of the demonstrations. One night, you and a few others are greeted by a small mote of light. It does not speak, but it flashes and bobs about, seemingly beckoning you away from your home and out into the city.

As best as you can tell, this strange being—unlike any you've seen before—wants your help. Do you answer the call?
