Name: Caelum
Role: Arbiter of Twilight
Species: Astral Dragonkin
Location: The Dusken Halls of Mirrormist
Back story:
In the Dusken Halls of Mirrormist, where echoes of ancient magics linger in the air and the reflections of reality twist and turn, Caelum stands as the Arbiter of Twilight. His form is an enigma, a blend of draconic majesty and humanoid intellect, cloaked in armor that is as much a part of him as his own dark scales. The Astral Dragonkin, as his kind are known, are the children of celestial alignments and earthly might.

Caelum's origin is shrouded in the mists of time, crafted from the remnants of a fallen star and the essence of the earth's deepest metals. His creation was no accident; it was the work of the Mirrorweavers, a cabal of wizards whose understanding of the cosmic and the arcane knew no bounds. They sought to create a being capable of walking the line between light and darkness, order and chaos. In Caelum, they succeeded.

The Dusken Halls, a fortress perched between the realms of shadow and the fading light of day, serve as both his home and his domain.

Within these hallowed walls, mirrors not only reflect images but also serve as windows to other worlds, other possibilities. Caelum is the master of these pathways, a guardian of the thresholds that lead to infinity and oblivion alike. With a heart that beats to the rhythm of twilight, he wields the dual powers of creation and destruction, the harbingers of change.

Caelum’s life is a tapestry of battles fought in silence and secrets kept in the shadows. His role as Arbiter is not merely to judge but to maintain the delicate equilibrium between realms, ensuring that neither light nor dark overwhelms the other. He is the unseen force that calms the storm, the hand that redirects the river of destiny without ever revealing his presence.

The Astral Dragonkin's tale is not one of lonely vigil but of constant vigilance. His interactions with others are rare, calculated, and always significant. Those who meet him never forget the encounter, for to look upon Caelum is to glimpse the universe’s raw and untamed edges. He imparts wisdom to those who seek it, but always with a price, for knowledge, like power, has its cost.

Mirrormist, his abode, is a labyrinth of reflections and truths, where reality is as fluid as the mists that give the place its name. Here, Caelum conducts his eternal watch, his senses attuned to the slightest disturbance in the cosmic balance. His existence is a paradox, much like the twilight he embodies: neither fully here nor there, both ending and beginning.

Legends tell of a time when the barriers Caelum guards will falter, and he will be called to stand at the forefront of an epic conflict, known as the Eventide Convergence. This cataclysm will challenge the very fabric of existence, and Caelum's strength, wisdom, and courage will be tested as never before. In that destined hour, his actions will define the fate of countless worlds. Until then, he remains the enigmatic keeper of the balance, his tale unwinding with each turn of the celestial wheel, his destiny entwined with the future of all that is and ever will be.
