Lanterns Design

Visual Design

Lanterns are gemstone-like structures encased within ornate metallic cages, floating several feet above the ground. They exist in various versions with different abilities and elemental types. Each version has its own distinct, vibrant color palette and style.
 

Goals

Lantern's sole purpose is defending the Ascendant Towers and supporting their Sentinel companions.
 

Biology

Lanterns are sentient constructs created to serve as support units for the Sentinels. They are made of a strange energy coalesced into crystalline stones with metal exterior cages. They can harness and manipulate elemental energy as needed.
 

Psychology

Lanterns have no emotions or independent thought as their sole purpose is in defense against intruders.
 

Language

Lanterns do not communicate in conventional ways but do telegraph their intent to attack by emitting light and moving faster than their dormant state.
 

Architecture

Lanterns are crafted with intricate designs and encased in ornate metallic cages, designed to complement the aesthetics of the Ascendant Towers they protect. Their crystalline interiors are beautiful and radiant, casting elegant glows.
 

Technology

As animated constructs, Lanterns are advanced technology themselves.
 

Hierarchy

Lanterns operate under the Sentinels they support, acting as secondary guardians to the Ascendant Towers.
 

Social Structure

Lanterns have no social structure.
 

Command Structure

Lanterns serve diligently under the Sentinels they are directed to support.
 

Weaponry

Lanterns harness elemental energy to support the Sentinels, with different types of Lanterns possessing different elemental abilities.
 

Vehicles

Lanterns do not require vehicles as they can float and move independently by themselves.
