Naelir’s form is ephemeral—a silhouette of starstuff, glowing eyes, and drifting cosmic threads. His body is more night sky than flesh, adorned with constellations that change nightly. He may appear as male, female, or undefined, depending on the onlooker’s subconscious.

• A black star embedded in the chest that pulses softly
• No visible mouth; his voice is heard in thought or dream
• Eyes like twin nebulae, filled with distant galaxies

• Can enter and shape dreams at will
• Able to cloak entire areas in starlit illusions
• Dreams shared with him may become reality if pure enough
• Can traverse the astral plane without cost or strain
• Calms nightmares by simply being present

The Lantern of If (Specialized Equipment):
A floating, eternal star bound in mirrored glass. It flickers with desire never spoken aloud.

• Glimmerpath: Can light a path to any place once imagined
• Heart’s Map: Reveals connections between souls, even if they’ve never met
• Oneiric Wake: Can place a creature into a peaceful dream-state that heals and reveals truths
• Wish-Eater: Can consume a single wish or intent from a hostile being once per week, severing obsession or compulsion

• Born from a rare, passionate union between Selaveth and Thalor—an act of cosmic longing under a moonlit storm. His conception was neither planned nor forbidden, but it reverberated through the pantheon like a note struck too softly to stop ringing.
• Raised primarily in the veiled courts of Selaveth, surrounded by music, midnight rites, and sensual worship, Naelir drifted through his early existence as a quiet observer, more enamored with stars than with spectacle.
• He rarely saw Thalor, who remained a distant tide in his life. Their shared blood connects them more than any spoken bond.
• His dreams began shaping astral phenomena before he ever knew what his power was. Elyndra discovered this and began nurturing his imagination through stargazing meditations and subtle divine memory work.
• Ziralei, his aunt, recognized a kindred spirit in his yearning and taught him to shape dreams into narrative and movement. Though her ways overwhelmed him at first, he came to treasure her guidance and her unspoken understanding of his isolation.
• Despite his lineage, Naelir has never claimed a seat of power among the gods. Instead, he prefers to drift along the boundaries of worship and wonder, manifesting only through dreams, poetry, and faint celestial omens.

• Created the first constellation as a memorial to a sailor who never returned
• Preserved the memory of the First Death through starlight even when it was forbidden
• Inspired a thousand bards, most of whom think they were merely clever

• Accidentally awakened a god’s forgotten grief during a star-poem
• Was once trapped in a mortal’s mind for a full year, unable to return
• Struggles with his legacy—some say he is not fully divine, but a dream given form

• Truth and beauty are not always the same, but both are worth chasing
• It is better to long and lose than never to imagine
• Never shame those who hope
• Death is a pause, not an end—what you dream in death echoes forward

• To keep the flame of hope alight
• To nurture imagination even in despair
• To understand the divine origin of longing and where it leads

• Worshipped quietly by wanderers, night-keepers, and those who speak their dreams to the sky
• Dreamers who see Naelir’s black star in slumber often awaken forever changed
• His name is invoked in bedtime prayers and stargazing rites
• Often misunderstood as distant or passive—yet his love burns across every night sky

• Selaveth (Mother): The goddess of passion and midnight nurtured him gently, though she has always struggled to fully understand his distance and quiet wonder. Their love is deep but strained—she burns brightly, while he drifts like a star.
• Thalor (Father): A source of longing and unresolved distance. Naelir reveres his father's songs but often feels unseen by him. Their bond is more elemental than emotional.
• Ziralei (Aunt): A dazzling, unsettling presence in his life. He is drawn to her artistry and honesty but wary of her provocations. She is one of the few who understands his yearning without trying to fix it.
• Aurenos (Grandfather): A figure of awe and caution. Naelir senses that Aurenos fears the chaotic implications of his dreaming, but has never spoken to him directly.
• Elyndra (Grandmother): She has shown him care, particularly in his early divine adolescence. He admires her grace and mournful wisdom.
• Virelyn: A quiet guardian and friend. She appears in his dreams when his mind is heavy, and he trusts her with the truths he cannot speak aloud.
• Fenros: Their paths crossed once in the feydreams. Naelir respects Fenros’s instincts but finds his rawness overwhelming at times.
