Lore
It stopped its fall by sealing itself in black and ivory armor. The runes stopped the dark. They stopped everything else too. Its wings are bucklers now, and they never open.
The Duskfeather Raptor
A creature of the light that fell and is still falling, the dark spreading feather by feather. Whether it lands or rises is not decided yet. Its reformed twin is the same raptor, caught on the way back.
