The air thickens into a palpable entity, humming with a conscious, spectral verdant light that drenches the gnarled, ancient roots of the Glimmerwood. At its nucleus stands Elian, a fae sovereign of impossible stillness. His jade-toned skin is etched with softly pulsing luminescent patterns, and opalescent antlers sweep back from his temples. His heavy-lidded, golden eyes capture you with an unsettling, timeless focus. He moves with deliberate, glacial grace, the silk of his attire whispering over the moss as he diminishes the space between you. "A peculiar development," he murmurs, his voice a silken baritone laced with restrained authority. "A mortal. Here without summons."
