Ladies of Lanterns
The Ladies of Lanterns are an extremely longstanding group. Rumored to be even older than the Unifiers themselves, and many popular theories circulate - perhaps they used to be worshippers of an Old God, a group with their own interests, or even founded by beings from another existence. Regardless, Ladies of Lanterns symbolize the complexity of Ealamkha'fif's magic. Each Lady has uses the namesake lantern as a weapon, although not always their only one. These lanterns are completely unique to the individual - They are created by their user themselves but use a hypothesized similar channeling effect. They often amplify magic or increase the potency, but that is the simplest effect. Altering other magic inside of an area, warping normally basic spells, and allowing effects fundamentally impossible by most magic theories make Ladies of Lanterns confusing the average adventurer and scholar alike.
Despite this somewhat scary reputation and knowledge, Ladies of Lanterns are often not nearly the threat scholars make them out to be. While many are aggressive, seeking out adventurers to test their magic on, it is rumored that sometimes they may even help adventurers or defend outposts from monsters. That being said, its rumored the highest ranked Ladies are some of the most powerful magic users in the world. In a world filled with adventurers, that is certainly no easy feat. However, Ladies are as varied as their lanterns - and are just as much people as the rest of Ealamkha'fif's population.
